A new breeze is blowing, and a nation refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on. – George H W Bush, president of the USA.

Wendell Meusa and Joshua Gopaul won the 2018 National Senior and Junior Chess Championships, respectively. Both players were committed to a deciding playoff of three games each since both were tied on an equal number of points.

The first game of the playoff was set to last for 15 minutes per player; the second, 10 minutes per player and the third, 5 minutes per player. Both Meusa and Gopaul, who is a St Stanislaus College student, won their playoffs without need for the third game.
