Chinese Students again Predominate at Cambridge Trigantius
The top seven places at the Trigantius all went to Chinese players, five of them starting above the 5-dan bar. With none of these on three wins, Yuanzhen Li, an MSc student at University College London, won with two wins and best SoS tiebreak. He is pictured below with the trophy.
Other prizes for three wins out of three went to Toby Manning (Newtown Linford 1k), Simon Thornewill von Essen (Stevenage 3k), Joshua Sing Ching Fai (no club 4k), Wenzhou Mei (Warwick University 5K), John Shafer (no club 7k), Horace Stoica (Stevenage 10k), Clarence Qin (Oxford 12K), and Toby Thornton (Warwick University 13K).
A total of 69 players attended the event, held as recently at St. Philip's Church in Hills Road. This number was slightly down on 2025, but the Trigantius was still the UK's most popular single-day tournament within the last year.
