Meaford siblings Sam and Rose Martin-Chase have found success recently while competing in provincial chess tournaments.

Sam age ten, and his sister Rose, age six, both students at St. Vincent Euphrasia (SVE) elementary school each won the Chess'n Math Association's regional Grey-Bruce tournament in their age categories, which qualified them to compete in the provincial competition in Toronto.

At the provincial competition Rose received a trophy for placing 10th while her brother Sam placed a respectable 30th.

The duo's mother Deirdre was proud of their results in Toronto.

“The kids performed remarkably well when you consider that Ontario is usually strongest province nationally. Often chess people will say that the Ontario provincial competition is even more competitive than the National Tournament,” offered the proud mom.

In a second provincial competition held by the Canadian Federation of Chess, the Martin-Chase siblings each finished in the top half of their category in the two day competition, qualifying them to compete at the national competition which is to be held in British Columbia.

“The competition was vicious. Sam and Rose both qualified to go to the Nationals in BC because they ended up in the top half of their cohort. The people who perform really well go onto to the Worlds which this year is Slovenia,” explained their mother.

In spite of their success at the competitive regional and provincial levels, both Sam and Rose view chess as a fun way to pass the time.

“I like it mostly because it is pretty fun, and it doesn't really matter if you lose or win,” Rose told The Independent in an interview at her school.

Her brother agrees, but says he does enjoy the challenge associated with competing in chess tournaments.

“It's hard and when you go to some places, like the provincials there's a tonne of competition,” offered Sam.

The siblings who say they often play each other at home credit a local chess program for teaching them the skills required to compete in chess tournaments.

“Tim Denbok, he's running a really good chess club in Collingwood,” explained Sam who says that he hopes to continue learning and mastering the game.
