The Alina Markowski Open 1/06/10

Alina Markowski Open  - Round 1    1/06/10    7 PM   

This 7 round event kicks off our club championship cycle. Already seeded in for the Club Championship are Raoul Crisologo,John Funderburg, Leonard Sussman and Felix Villarreal, but it is possible that like last year,, Felix may not be able to play, so the top 12 or possibly 13 players with the highest scores in this event will qualify for the 7 round Club Championship (starts on 2/24/10). Rounds 1 through 7 of the Markowski are every Wednesday night on 1/06, 1/13, 1/20, 1/27, 2/03, 2/10 and 2/17. This event also qualifies 16 players for the Reserve Championship, which is for players U1800. A Women's Championship will also start on 2/24.

Two byes are available if requested in time (before 6:30 PM the night of the round), but last round byes must be requested before the start of round 2. Entry Fee is $25, and everyone must renew their SDCC membership if they haven't already done so. Club Membership runs on a calendar year basis, so everyone expires on 12/31. Dues are $60 a year, $48 for seniors or for active mililtary, $30 for juniors. Family memberships are $120. There are generous cash prizes throughout the year, so you will have plenty of chances to win that money back and then plenty more.  

The time control for this event is our standard 40/90, SD/60 with 5 second delay. To register for this event, please email chucnglo@aol.com or call the club telephone at 619-239-7166. In this event, we all play in one huge section, so the first few rounds will feature large rating differences. Despite this, there is almost always a few upsets, or at least a few draws in the first few rounds. It is your chance to upset a much higher rated player, and if not, at least to learn something from the experience and probably lose only 1 or 2 rating points, even if you lose, so there is practically nothing to lose and a lot to gain. Some people complain about the rating mismatches, but still it seems to be very popular because we usually have 90 players or so. If you don't want to play a much higher or lower rated player (you will either get paired way up or way down), then take a bye for the first round or even the first two rounds. Personally, I think it is fun and a good way to get to know the best players in the club.

Only 26 players today, less than expected. A holiday weekend lead to hopes of a big turnout, but it did not happen. Even with all Friday to rest up, some people were apparently still not recovered from Thursday night celebrations! Happy New Year!

Once in a blue moon, Cyrus does not win the Gambito Open, and here it happened two days after a real "blue moon" (2nd full moon in a calendar month, this happened Dec 31st). In Gambito #450 the Arnold bothers made a surprise visit and each of them were able to draw with Cyrus. Along with the Ken and Jeff Arnold, plus frequent players Cyrus and Bruce, Ron Bruno also made a somewhat rare appearance and that gave us 5 Masters for a very strong top 5 for the other Open Section players to deal with.

Shogi

It's Japanese Chess - check it out!

Try ityou might like it!

Come, get a free Shogi set and rules, learn the moves, and play a practice game or two. Then decide. Even Kasparov has given it a try!

Learn to play Shogi at the Balboa Club                                                                                           

—Tuesday, December 8th at 7:00 pm

—Monday, December 14th at 7:00 pm

Taught by Chess Expert Eric Kuniholm, now Shogi Master 1st Dan.

      Shogi is a cousin of Western Chess, independently developed as the game spread outward from India over the last 1000 years or so. About 75% of the rules are similar so it’s really easy to learn if you know how to play Chess. Most of your skills will be transferable! —And transferable both ways if you get good at Shogi! Three of the top Shogi players in Japan have made master norms in their first ever attempts to play in Chess tournaments, and IM Larry Kaufman finally got his GM title after becoming the top rated Shogi amateur in the West.

      But be warned, Shogi has several orders of magnitude more possibilities than Chess, and computers have yet to beat Shogi professionals in match play. The main reason for the increased complexity is because in Shogi, prisoners can be reintroduced into play, like bughouse, and almost all pieces can promote—rooks, knights, bishops, and not just pawns. Almost every game ends in a sacrificial mating attack, and only 2% of games between professionals end in draws (for amateurs, the figure is even lower). And no problems finding opponents once you learn the game, it’s more popular than Go in the Japanese community, and the Shogi equivalent of the ICC offers free online membership to all players outside Japan.

      We will use special sets with the movement capabilities printed on the pieces, so nothing to memorize! People are welcome to come to more than one session if they want to, since I’ll have a slightly different “curriculum” each time, although the limit is one free set per person. I'll teach the moves, demo a sample game, and play a simul. Any questions, feel free to email me at erickuniholm@gmail.com or call (760) 525-9411

So come! & get a free Shogi set for attending—No charge!
