Perth & Kinross Chess Congress
13 – 15 January 2006
Interrogation
of Daniel Thomas, age 9, Giffnock Club, p num 15990.
Daniel,
which section did you enter?
The Primary on the Saturday
& Funday Open on the Sunday
Which section did you prefer
& why?
I liked the Primary best as I
came equal 1st
So why did you enter the Funday?
I wanted to play higher graded
people because in the Primary, I had one of the highest grades. Also my brother Matthew was playing on the
Sunday in the Primary & he wanted to avoid playing me.
 
This is me
receiving my 1st prize Matthew came 2nd
in the Sunday Primary
Did you do well in the Funday & get any good wins?
I got 2.5 / 6. I got a draw against my Mum which she was
not too happy about due to the grade difference but I did turn her down when
she offered a draw as I thought I could win but in the end it was a simple
draw with a piece & pawn each. I beat Alice Lampard’s
Dad who has a grade over a 1000.
Do you think that the sections
were run well & did you like the venue?
I think it was run well. I like coming to this congress because I
like staying in the hotel & playing in the big rooms & seeing my
chess friends.

& Donna Officer
You say you like the hotel,
what is it you like about it apart from the big rooms & seeing your
friends?
I like sleeping & eating
there as the food is tasty & we get nice rooms.
Would you like to go again
next year?
Yes, definitely as I want to
win another special trophy as we have the Knight, Bishop & Rook already.
