Final Round Enter Play-Offs! Yeap Eng Chiam Crowned NJM!

The final round of the 2nd National Junior Chess Championship 2009 boys’ category had to be pushed into the play-offs as the top two boards ended with draws. This resulted in four players with the same 7.0 points for Sumant, Yeap, Justin and Evan.
The panel of arbiters of the event decided to have a play-off for the four players that finished with 7.0 points, so that a clear winner can be decided and to earn the title of the National Junior Master (NJM).
