Buddy Morris Doubleheader Round 1 on 6/02/10 7 PM
We continue our ongoing practice of honoring long time club members by naming a tournament for them. The "Bud Man" is unique and beloved by all SDCC members. NM David Hart is one of his best friends at the club. His facination with minerals has endeared him to me, Chuck Ensey, being a former geologist myself. Talk of meteorites is enough to send Bud into near nirvana. He also is a big Padre fan, like many of us. And this year we have something to cheer about, at least so far!
This is a 6 week event where in each round you will play one player as White, then turn the board around and play the same player again as Black. The time control is G/45 with 5 second delay. You are allowed 4 byes, but not against someone you have already played one game with, if you don't want to play the second game, then that is a zero point bye. In other words you can miss two weeks out of the six weeks and get byes for those two weeks. Except in the last round, where if you want byes, you need to let us know in advance by round 2 and they are irrevocable.
We tried this doubleheader format last year and everyone seemed to enjoy it. The games are fully rated, just like the Gambito Open. In fact this is partly to show players that a fast game is really not that much different than a slow game, because both players are under the same time constraints.
For those players who just can't bring themselves to play a fast game, we have another "Slow" Group where the time control is G/120 with 5 second delay.
The Doubleheader is 3 sections and the Slow Group in 2 sections. It is not too late to join, you can register by emailing Chuck Ensey at chucnglo@aol.com
65 players total so far, 38 in the Doubleheader, 27 in the Slow Group
