Ruth Coxhill Memorial 2009

The Ruth Coxhill Memorial for 2009 has been shared by Phachara Wongwichit and Sam Grigg, who each won $500, on 7.5/9. It was a hotly contested event, with attacking chess, and five players in contention in the last couple of weeks. Alex Stahnke ($200) on 6.5 continued his stellar year with 3rd place, and was followed by Gene Nakauchi ($50) and Jonas Muller ($50) on 6.

On the last night Jonas Muller blundered his queen when in a reasonable position against Phachara Wongwichit, whilst Sam Grigg claimed a draw by triple repetition against Gene Nakauchi. Martin Jack and Daniel Lapitan both picked up ratings points and were awarded encouragement prizes.

Jonathan Sarfati and Gene Nakauchi have jointly won the 2008 Ruth Coxhill Memorial with a score of 7/9. Jonathan was undefeated. In third place was Sam Grigg with 6.5, who gathered a packet of rating points.

Many thanks to the four strong adult players, IM Peter Froehlich, FM Jonathan Sarfati, FM Nik Stawski and Matthew Sonter for putting themselves up for a 'hiding to nothing' against the rapidly improving juniors. A feature of the event was the fighting chess played by all competitors.
