May Day Charity Event

May Day Charity Tournament - This Sunday, May 1st!


Message from Eliza Eggert: Reminder and Additional information for the tournament this Sunday, May 1st..

With the generous sponsorship of Chess.com and ChessTempo.com and lots of help from Chuck and SDCC, I am organizing a 1-day tournament to raise funds for the non-profit organization Jeans 4 Justice (http://www.jeans4justice.org), whose mission is to end sexual violence through creative education programs. The 4-round tournament will be held this coming Sunday, May 1st, at the club. The time control will be game in 60, which is a little longer than the Gambitos so we'll have to start a little earlier to fit in all 4 rounds. First round begins at 9:45a, so please arrive early to register! A half-point bye will be available, so feel free to skip round one and show up before Round 2 which will start at noon.

This tournament will actually be 2 different tournaments in 1. There will be a USCF rated tournament with Open and Reserve sections for a $20 entry fee. (Reserve is tentatively U1700, but may change based on attendence). It will be 4 rounds with time control of Game in 60. There will also be a separate unrated, less-formal tournament that will only be open to those who either have not ever been rated or have a USCF rating under 1200. I am hoping to encourage some new folks who have never tried a tournament before to come check us out. Entry fee for the unrated tournament will be $8. The unrated part of the tournament will start a few minutes later than the rated to make sure all the new folks are comfortable before getting them going.

At 2p, there will be an "Intro to the game of chess" class for beginners given by our very own Mario Amodeo who has generously donated his time for this. This is the perfect opportunity to get a non-chess friend involved in this great game! I am requesting a $5 donation to participate in the class.

There will also be a raffle, with lots of great items including a nice tournament chess set in a carrying bag, a Saitek digital chess clock, a 1 year Gold membership to ChessTempo.com and more. There will be 2 raffle drawings times, the first just before Round 3 starts at 3p, and the second just before Round 4 starts at 5:15p.

Schedule:

Registration starts at 9a

Round 1: 9:45a

Round 2: 12:00p

Beginners class with Mario: 2p

(Lunch break from Tournament play 2-3p)

First raffle drawing: 2:55p

Round 3: 3:00p

Second raffle drawing: 5:10p

Round 4: 5:15p

Prizes:

Rated tournament:

Cash prizes are based on 16 attendees to USCF rated tournament. If there are fewer than 11 people for rated play, or fewer than 5 for either Reserve or Open, the rated tournament will be combined to one section, with non-cash prizes moved to "Best Under" prizes to be determined.

April Gambito Opens #513 - 515

Gambito Open #515  4/30/11

$20 ENTRY FEE, the best deal in town! All entry fees are returned in prizes, minus a nomimal club/rating fee of $20 to $30 depending on attendance. Play top rated players if you are a Class A or Expert, and gain valuable tournament experience and knowledge. If you are a Class B or below, not to worry, you will mostly be paired with players of your own rating strength, thanks to the magic of the McMahon pairings. Everyone has fun and it's a great way to learn and improve your game, no matter what level of skill you are playing at. 

4 games of G/45, or more popularly, G/40 with 5 second delay. Registration 10 AM to 10:25, rounds at 10:30, 12:15, 2:45 and 4:30; it's all over by 6 PM. Free parking close to club if you arrive early. Lunch break from 1:45 to 2:45, grab a sandwich from the local deli a few blocks away and then play blitz while you relax between rounds. Often rated by the next day, so you get timely results for your efforts (dual rated, quick and regular).

The Gambito Open has been a launching pad for many great young players who have rocketed up through the ranks from Class C to Expert level and sometimes all the way to Master level (see Varun Krishnan and Kyron Griffith). Come see why it is so popular, now in it's 11th year of operation!     

Only 20 players today, but still a strong tournament with 6 Masters: Jeff Arnold, Ken Arnold, Bruce Baker, Peter Graves, Varun Krishnan and Kyron Griffith; 5 Experts: Hin Tsang, Peter Hodges, Alan Sebeckis, Leonard Sussman and Aaron Wooten; 2 Class A: Jason Ma and Joel Batchelor; 3 Class B: Alexander Blank, Anthony Harbone, Jay Choi; 4 Class C and below: Jonathan Centers, Ben Keltner, Patrick Edwards and Andrew Zhang. 

Bruce directed and used a 2 point McMahon with M=2, Exp/A=1, B/C=0. Here were the prize winners:

First Place: Bruce Baker (5), $100

Bruce won a great game over Peter Graves in the last round, playing a deep combo at the end

Second Place: Jeff Arnold (4 1/2), $20

Jeff is over 2400...

BU2400: Ken Arnold (4 1/2), $50

BU2200: Hin Tsang (3), Peter Hodges (3), Leonard Sussman (3) and Aaron Wooten (3), $12 each

BU2000: Joel Batchelor (3), $33

BU1800/2000: Alexander Blank (3) and Jay Choi (3), $33 each

BU1600: Ben Keltner (1 1/2), $40

Total Prizes: $360         

Gambito Open #514

Only 15 players today, funny I was expecting a big turnout due to the 3-day weekend, but I guess people are off visiting family and whatnot. Used a mini-McMahon today with Class A and above starting with 1 point: Baker; Hodges, Sussman, Agron, Wooten; Vajapeyam, Morris, A. Householder, Karadayi, Batchelor, Sagart, all others with 0: Ensey, S. Householder, Choi, Cleveland. 

Bruce Baker drew with Aaron Householder in round 1, then beat Sussman, Morris and Vajapeyam. Buddy bounced back from last week and beat Sagart, Hodges and Sussman. Sagart beat Choi, Karadayi (visiting from LA!) and Agron. Paul had a bad day, losing on time  to Madhavan (he punched the clock, but the button didn't fully depress and his time ran out; these things happen when you are living on the 5 second delay) and to Sagart, but he did beat Wooten in round 2. Hodges only played the first two games and blundered when low on time versus Buddy.   

Prize winners were:

First Place: Bruce Baker (4 1/2), $80

BU2400/2200: Buddy Morris (4) and Pejman Sagart (4), $40 each

BU2000: Madhavan Vajapeyam (3 1/2), $40

BU1800: Chuck Ensey (3), $40   BU1600: Fred Cleveland (1), $20

Total Prizes: $360

19 players, including 4 Masters: Lakdawala, Baker, Graves, Griffith; 4 Experts: Sussman, Barquin, Wooten, Morris; 4 Class A: Pryor, Iyer, A. Householder, Ensey; 4 Class B: S. Householder, Harbone, Kuhn, Choi; 3 Class C: B. Keltner, C. Negus, Cleveland. John Keltner and Mark Negus filled in as house players when needed. We used our standard McMahon with M/E=3, A=2, B=1, C=0.

Cyrus beat Peter Graves (great to see him back again), Kyron Griffith and Ben Barquin before a last round draw with Bruce Baker. Peter beat Aaron Householder, Kyron and Ben. Bruce lost to Kyron and beat Wooten and Pryor. Wooten beat Ben in the last round. Iyer won 3 in a row over Ensey, Morris and Sussman before falling to Graves. Bud Morris had a rough day, losing the first 3 games to Pryor, Iyer and Wooten before edging out a win over Aaron Householder in the last round.
