Many congratulations to all those Devon juniors who have qualified for the Gigafinal -- forgive me, I couldn't work out a complete list, because of the complicated rules -- but special mention should be made of Caleb Caleshu, who scored 6/6 in his section!
Chess Tips
| MIDDLEGAME TIPS: |
If your opponent is trying to win a level position, don't get impatient and rush, and don't get bored and go on the defensive, don't be tempted into exchanges that give a little ground. Stay calm. Give the impression of great patience, that you aren't going to blunder no matter how long they spin it out. And keep trying to play good and active moves, even if you think it's only a draw. |
