Julian Mazur - Dive Leads, Will Miss Last Round

Russell Dive won comfortably against Pat Cunningham in round 7 of the Julian Mazur Memorial, while his co-leader Anthony Ker could only get a draw against Nic Croad (I don't have the scoresheets for this game).
Russell is on his way to Azerbaijan with the New Zealand chess team for the Olympiad, so he will have to be content with a half point bye in the last round of this tournament next Thursday. This will give Anthony the chance to catch up and share the lead if he can win against Arthur Pomeroy.

Few surprises this week. Apparently Bill missed a win against Brian Nijman but had to settle for a draw in the end. I haven't gone over that game yet.

Julian Mazur R6 - Anthony and Russell Extend Lead

On the whole, normal service has been restored, with the top players all winning. The big surprise, maybe, is seeing Pat Cunningham defeating Alan Aldridge to earn himself a place on top board against Russell next week.


More to follow - for now here are just the results, cross table and provisional pairings for next week (which will almost certainly change).

Julian Mazur - Draw for Round 6

Here is the latest version of the round 6 draw. Unfortunately Mike Asplet has had to pull out of the tournament because of work commitments.

This draw is quite likely to change, as some people don't notify their absence until the last minute.

Julian Mazur Games, Rounds 4-5

I may be getting a bit long in the tooth, certainly in chess terms, but in the Julian Mazur Memorial tournament this year I have never been happier with my play.

Here are a couple of my games, followed by Andrew Stone's victory against Nic Croad in round 4 which I present unannotated.

If you have any of your own games you would like me to include on this blog, I am very happy to do so.

Congratulations Wellington College

Congratulations to the Wellington College chess team, who won the regional inter-schools competition last week. All the members of this team play at the Wellington Chess club.

l-r Satwik Meravanage, Ryan Winter, Michael Sole, Ethan Bloor-Wilson

Thanks to Ryan Winter for providing a photo of the table. There were a couple of results missing, but you get the idea.

Julian Mazur R5 - The IMs Maintain their Lead

Just a quick update, no surprises at the top with Russell and Anthony both winning. A few upsets further down, Ryan achieved a brilliant result drawing with Arthur, and Satwik also doing well to draw with Phillip Coghini. In fact, the entire Wellington College team (which won the regional schools tournament this week) did well, apart from Ethan who didn't show up.

Congratulations also to Patrick, victor in his game against Peter Stoeveken.

Julian Mazur Round 4 - Stone the Croad

Anthony and Russell played each other in a much earlier round than is usual for this tournament, because they were the only two players left on full points. They got a draw after a relatively uneventful Petroff.
The other "Gang of Four" member in this tournament, Nic Croad, had a lapse against Andrew Stone in an entertaining tactical battle which could have gone either way, but after a forced series of exchanges Nic lost a rook to a fork. I'll put the game on the blog later on, but I don't think I'll be able to do justice to it annotations-wise.
The chasing group is made up of Brian Nijman, Ross Jackson, Bill Forster, Yogesh Kulkarni, Alan Aldridge and myself, we all managed wins this round.
Next round, Andrew Stone will get the black pieces against Russell Dive, should be interesting.
