PMCC dominates
CHESS: Paul Morphy Chess Club (PMCC) registered an impressive win at
the Super League Chess Championship, conducted by the Chess Federation
of Sri Lanka (CFSL) at Royal College.
PMCC (24/30 points) placed ahead of their closest rivals, Vishy
Ananad Chess Club (16/30) by a massive lead of 8 points to win the event
with a round to spare. Third place went to Passed Pawn Chess Club
(15.5/30).
Many internationally rated players in the Island took part in this
event and CFSL decided to internationally rate the Super League for the
first time.
The women's inter club western province event was also held parallel
to Super League at the same venue. Perhaps inspired by the boys, Paul
Morphy Chess Club girls team (26.5/30) powered their way to first place
ahead of University of Moratuwa girls team (24/30).
Third place went to Ratnawali Balika Vidyalaya, Colombo 08 (17/30).
