Almost as good was in the Under 8 Championship where Anton Smirnov finished in a tie for second place, although he missed a medal on countback.
Of the Canberra juniors who played, Yi Yuan scored 7/11 in the Under 14's, Emma Guo scored 6 in the Under 14 Girls, while in the Under 18 Girls Tamzin Oliver scored 4.5 and Alana Chibnall scored 4.

Well done Bobby !
This is an amazingly good game for an under 12 year old. A well thought-out and executed strategic plan on the queen side of a French bears tactical fruit, which is taken with ruthless efficiency.
I have been playing through all the games of Capablanca and Bobby's game as black here may be as good as the 12-year old Capablanca's celebrated victory as black against Cuban champion Juan Corzo.
It is notoriously difficult to predict the future success of child prodigies in chess, so time will tell if this game will one day feature in a Best Games of [Grandmaster/World Champion] Bobby Cheng!

Shaun, are you another one of these 'nobody in the real world, big-ego chess nerds'? Most of your posts are at best stupid and parochial, at worst a waste of space and time.
Get a life!
