Gold Coast Junior Championships 2005

Top seed Ben Lazarus has won the Gold Coast Juniors but not before a few scares along the way. In round four he was defeated by Daniel Ford, and in the final round he looked in desperate trouble against leader Kelvin Finke, before pouncing on a slight error to force a play-off with Sam Grigg. Sam had a great tournament, and won the first game of the lightning play-off. In the second Sam won a couple of pawns in the opening, but Ben fought back and forced a tie-breaker. In the third game Sam won the toss, and chose the white pieces, which meant he had five minute's against Ben's four, but black only needed a draw. At a critical point in this game Ben threatened perpetual check, and Sam had to give up his queen for a rook to stay in the game, but eventually lost. There were 49 players

Ben has to be congratulated on his gutsy win under pressure.
