Report – 20 & 27 October 2017

Marcus Porter Memorial

This tournament was again well attended by those who knew Marcus, and also some younger players just learning about his unique approach to chess.

The tournament may well have ended in an awkward 4-way tie for first if the final round game between Jacob Edwards and Paul Garbett had ended in a draw, but Jacob helped us out by winning this game and the tournament.

So congratulations go to Jacob Edwards who has taken out the Marcus Porter Memorial for 2017.

Jayden Ooi also performed well scoring 4 wins and a draw from his 8 games to win a beanie for the best placed under 1000 prize.

Tom Slater-Jones won the coveted Grob prize (and awarded a beanie) after leading the way with 6 Grob points from 8 attempts.

Equal second were Charles Tsai and Hughston Parle who both scored 5 Grob points.

Once again many of the players embraced the Grob theme and played the Grob or Reverse-Grob with a total of 65 attempts from the 34 players.

Many thanks to a Tyson Walker, Joseph Curtain, Hughston Parle, Ian Lin, Joe Lin, Austin Chen, and Jayden Ooi who all came in their pj's.

Many thanks to the Porter family who once again donated a beautiful clock trophy for the winner.

Thank you to everyone who played and hope to see you next year.
