2011 Reserves Champion: James Watson

Reserves Group

In the John Baynham Reserves tournament, James Watson played a superb, undefeated event to claim the title, with an outstanding score of 10.5 out of a possible 11 points! He is automatically eligible for entry to the A grade tournament of 2012, so watch out for this upcoming junior player! He combines a good knowledge of openings with a developing appreciation of positional play.
