David Zhang wins Canadian Junior
SPRAGGETT ON CHESS
The Calgary organizers knew that most of the elite Junior players in Canada would boycott the 2012 Junior Championship if the tournament were to be held out west without travel-subsidies for players from central and eastern Canada. Never the less, they went ahead and organized it! Twelve players participated. Only 1 of the top -10 rated juniors played. Only 1 player east of Winnipeg showed up! Bravo!
Canadian Master David Zhang (pictured above at the 2011 World Subs in Brazil) won the Canadian Junior (Calgary) over the weekend, with 6.5 points. Half a point behind was Richard Wang. Congratulations to both youngsters!
