Yuan, Yuanling won the Toronto Junior Chess Champion 2007 today

Today’s game in Bayview Game Chess Club would create a new Toronto Junior Chess Champion 2007. Since Zhou, Haonan, the U16B Champion of 2007 CYCC finished all rounds games and got 3.5/6, the title of the 2007 TJCC would not below Zhou. It would be from the winner of today’s game between a 13 years old girl, Yuan, Yuanling and 13 years old Canadian Chess Master, Sapozhnikov, Roman.  

Sapozhnikov only need draw this game against Yuan and would get most of chance to win the title, because he left only one game playing with Orlova,Yelizaveta who was the lowest rating in this tournament. However, Yuan, Yuanling defeated him in around 27 moves and won the 2007 Toronto Junior Champion.

Sapozhnikov would be listed 2nd place if he would win Orlova,Yelizaveta who had gone to play WYCC in Turkey these days. If Sapozhnikov would draw with Orlova, he would get score 3.5 and share 2^nd place with Zhou. Whatever the result of the last game between Sapozhnikov and Orlova, it would not affect Yuan,Yuanling taking this title.

2007 Champion of TJCC was the 3^rd title Yuan,Yuanling won this year after she moved to Toronto in April, 2007. She also held 2007 TSSCL Individual Champion and 2007 Ontario High School Chess Champion. Yuanling is the first girl has these three chess titles in Canada Chess history which is used to take by boys. Also this tournament would bring her be listed in Canada Chess Master level.
