Day Four – Round 3 & 4 (report by Sonal Haria)

Today was the double round day with games at 10:00 and 17:00. The players were up preparing, consulting with coaches and eating breakfast in a hurry. Everyone got to the hall in plenty of time to settle down. There was a possibility that long games would mean players may miss lunch and/or dinner as the hotel were not willing to adjust the times – the organisers had obviously not bothered with making the necessary arrangements. Luckily, everyone managed to finish in good time.

It was a tiring day for the players, coaches and parents. Fortunately, Monday is the rest day and the round 5 is on Tuesday. Coaching slots have already been organised for the morning and then we are all looking forward to relaxing. Some of us will visit the water park which is only across the road. No one seems keen on sightseeing as this is a pretty remote location!

Day Five – the Free day (Report by Sonal Haria)

The Water Park we had all been looking forward to visiting (across the road from the hotel) was closed today! This was a disappointment for the group. Determined to enjoy the Free day, we soon put this aside and spent the day in other nearby hotel swimming pools, on the football court (the boys, Simon and Phil), playing blitz, shopping etc. The players also spent some serious time preparing for Round 5 games. The coaches were available and helped the players prepare.

At 7.30, we met for a team meeting. Everyone was in great spirits. The coaches presented Game of the Day prizes (10 Reais) to Akshaya (Round 2), Cosima (Round 3) and William (Round 4). Following this, we all went to dinner, followed by more blitz and an early bedtime for most. The players were exhausted from their day of fun and preparation.

Hi Sonal
Thanks for the report, much appreciated back here in the UK. Must have been very disappointing to find the water park closed but you all seemed to have had an enjoyable day. Now back to the serious chess stuff, all the best to everyone. Hopefully we will be able to follow Ravi on a live board.
Sounds like an excellent team spirit, keep up the good work.

Regards

Day Six – Round 5 report by Sonal Haria

Coaching resumed early, with the players focussed and in good spirits. The losses were tough with players in good positions against strong opponents. An interesting theme today was either wins or losses, with no drawn games!

Yang-Fan Zhou has 4.5/6, is undefeated, and up to 7th in the U18 Open section of the World Youth Chess Championship. Admittedly he was seeded 4th, but he looks well-placed only half a point behind the leaders in a tournament of nine rounds. Time to get excited yet? Hope he does well in the last three rounds (and all the other England players as well, of course, some of whom might be doing just as well depending on results from round 6).
