2025 ACT Junior Chess Championship

 Congratulations to Sanat Hegde for winning the 2025 ACT Junior Chess Championship. He scored an amazing 8.5/9, with ACT Girls Junior Champion Sahasra Selva the only player to take a half point off him. Amazingly, Hegde was eligible for the Under 8 section (having turned 8 this year). He won the ACT Under 10 Championship last weekend (it was a combined Under 8/10 event), but curiously, was runner up in the Under 12 Championship. 

Masaki Horikawa finished 2nd in the championship (winning the Under 16 title), with Nivin Vinothkumar 3rd and Owen MacMullin 4th. There were a number of interesting games, including the following one, which decided the final placings in the event.
