Thomas Daniel 1051
McDonald Calum Fraser 1099
McDonald Ian 1329
Interestingly the 10th J16 in 2007-8 had a published rating of 1237, in 2011 - 12 ? 1166 so that is a -71 pts drop.
You certainly put a lot of hard work and time as IJD - and we remain grateful for the chances this gave Jonny -, and as part of the SJC organising events, but I am not sure exactly what initiatives and actions as IJD you are referring to that would have contributed to the claimed improvements amongst the lower rated juniors who would never attend an international event.
Hi Mike,
you have spotted my typo.
Daniel was in P7 in Dec 2007 (and P6 in Dec 2006)
Angus Ian is I recall 10 months older than Daniel with a January Birthday, hence went into S1 a year earlier than Daniel.
Just double checked my memory with Primary Individual Chess Championship results 2008
Daniel's highest graded opponents were.
Calum Birkett 989
Peter Rainey 978
Kiron Roy 914
Connor MacKay 907
