2018 Blitz Champions

Just another catch-up post - in July we had the traditional annual Blitz tournament (3 minutes plus 2 second increment per move).
We had enough entrants (32) to have four separate preliminary groups, with the top two players from each group going through to an all-play-all final. This year we didn't have Michael Nyburg, but we did have Brian Nijman, and also Edgar Benitez, who is, incidentally, a bit of a whizz at the faster time controls. These two players made it through to the finals, as did Michael Sole for the first time.

However, the trio of Russell, Anthony and Nic are in a class of their own, and the winner was expected to come from this select group. In their little round robin tournament between the three of them, they each won one and lost one, but because Anthony lost to one of the lesser mortals (Edgar) he slipped a place in the overall standings.

So, congratulations to Russell Dive and Nic Croad, worthy joint winners of the 2018 Club Blitz Championship.

Julian Mazur R6 - Nic Nurses One Point Lead

Only 15 games were played in round 6 of the Julian Mazur memorial, I don't think I have ever seen such a long list of byes (see below). Two rounds to go.
None of the drama of the previous week, Nic defeated Andrew Stone without too many problems. Russell and Anthony were playing each other, but NOT on top table, which is something of a rarity! In this encounter, Russell as Black went back to his Caro-Kann, and eventually won with a nice tactic after he placed immense pressure on Anthony's King.






Elsewhere, Edgar Benitez continued his good form, this time getting a draw with Brian Nijman, Ryan Winter eventually broke down Paul He's resistance, and Lawrence Farrington lost to his second He brother in a row.

Next week Anthony should be getting paired with Nic Croad, which will be interesting.

Julian Mazur R5 - Nic Takes it All

The top three players were all playing lower rated opposition this round, and none of them found it particularly easy. Far and away the nearest to victory was Brian Nijman. Characteristically for a Nijman game, both players used up all their time on the start of the game, leaving the endgame to be played on increment. Brian was totally winning after 35 moves, with a healthy pawn surplus (including two connected passed pawns on the queen side) - from here I will leave it to Nic to take up the story.





So for the top three boards, the top players squeaked through. On board four I blundered away a vital d pawn against Andrew Stone, and my position collapsed immediately. Ryan Winter gained a queen for a rook against Michael Nyberg, but couldn't make progress! (Draw agreed)
Nic leads with 5/5, with Anthony, Russell and Andrew Stone a whole point behind.

Among the players on 3½/5 is 10-year-old Paul He, having a very impressive tournament so far - this week he bested Lawrence Farrington without too many problems.

2018 Club Rapid Final Table

The Club Rapid finished in July, and, without Nic Croad, it was left to Russell and Anthony to slug it out. In the end Russell Dive cruised to victory, with 9 straight wins (including victory over Anthony) followed by a hard-fought draw with Andrew Stone in the last round. Anthony finished half a point behind on 9/10, with the chasing pack (Andrew Stone, me, Michael Nyberg) well back on 6 ½ points.

The starting tally of 50 players is impressive but a bit misleading - I don't think we ever had more than 40 people playing on any given night. Still, for those who did manage to turn up, it was a fun tournament.

Julian Mazur R4 - Nic Defeats Russell, Anthony Draws Again

We had an interesting round 4 of the Julian Mazur Memorial on Thursday. Nic Croad is very much on form, despite his slight wobble against Ryan Winter last week. This week he just seemed to see more tactics in his victory over Russell Dive. He annotates the game for us here.







Brian Nijman was Black against Anthony Ker and he got a draw. At one point he could even have won, but it was extremely difficult to find.

Autumn Cup 2018 Final

As promised, as part of a general catch-up, here are the final results of the Autumn Cup, which finished back in June.
Sorry for the delay!

The competition was interesting for a number of reasons. First, Nic Croad broke Anthony's winning streak, and dominated the A grade. This tournament helped Nic leapfrog over Russell Dive in the July rating list (possibly for the first time?).
Secondly, it consolidated the position of the relative newcomers in the club, mostly juniors, but also Edgar! We of the old guard can no longer feel safe against these people - I'm thinking in particular of Ryan Winter, Edgar Benitez, Fabian Day, Nathan Hall, Caleb and Paul He, and Nicholas Winsley.

The sad thing about the tournament was the number of games that weren't played. In the past these void games were confined to the lower grades, but this year even the top grade had a game that wasn't played. Maybe we should delayed the following tournament for a week so that we could have finished some of these. The worst grade for this was the F grade where the title was shared between Don Stracy and Michael Ashe, but Michael, through no fault of his own, played one game fewer than Don, which seems a bit unfair.

Anyway, congratulations to the winners:

A grade Nic Croad 4½/5
B Grade Ryan Winter 4½/5
C Grade Edgar Benitez 4/5
D Grade Fabian Day 4/5
E Grade Nathan Hall 4/5
F Grade Don Stracy (3/5) and Michael Ashe (3/4)
G Grade Nicholas Winsley 5/5

Julian Mazur R3 - Three Players on 100%

After three rounds of the Julian Mazur Memorial, Russell Dive, Nic Croad and Brian Nijman have three straight wins.According to my calculations, Nic will face Russell next week on board one, with Brian playing Black against Anthony Ker who is currently half a point behind.

Russell scored a smooth, very Divesque game against Bill Forster on board one.
Anthony, also quite typically, managed to wring the extra half point out of a level-ish rook and pawn ending, despite Edgar Benitez's brave defending.

Ryan Winter played brilliantly to reach a winning position against Nic Croad, but then it all went wrong. You knew it was going to be interesting when Nic elected to open with a Sicilian Dragon.

Julian Mazur Memorial Round 2

Apologies for the long delay since the last update. I'll endeavour in the next few days to go back and publish all the results I've missed. Meanwhile, here are the current standings of the Julian Mazur Memorial. We're up to round 2 of an 8 round Swiss. Round 2 was much less interesting than round 1, which I missed for being up in Auckland. Round 1 had upsets aplenty, not least Fabian drawing with Anthony, but also Michael Nyberg losing to Nathan Hall, Paul He drawing with Edgar Benitez, and Sean Johnson beating Alexis Wevers. Daniel Kibblewhite could easily have beaten Bill Forster.

Round 2 had less of this sort of stuff, but Paul He did achieve another draw against another of the old guard (Andrew Brockway this time), and Alan Aldridge achieved a winning position against Russell Dive, even though he didn't manage to convert.

We don't get too many King's Gambits at the club. Here is one, kindly annotated by the winner, Bill Forster.
