No Gambito Open on Dec 28

NO Gambito Open on 12/28/14

This is the one of the 3 weekends of the year we take off (also the weekends of the Gay Pride Parade and the St Patrick's Day parade, rather noisy events and parking is very difficult). Many players are going to the North American Open in Las Vegas, many others are busy with holiday plans, so in the years that we have held it, the turnout was extremely light. Therefore we have learned that it is best to take the week off.

So the next Gambito Open will be a Super Gambito on January 4, 2014 and we expect a great turnout for that one! I look forward to seeing everyone next year and hope that the holidays are fun for each one of you. And thanks to all for you support during the year: in 2013, we set another all-time record for cash prizes won at the Gambito Open, which is just another measure of attendance, since that's what the prizes are based on.

Gambito #634

Gambito Open #634  on 11/13/13

34 players today, great turnout! Here they are in pre-event rating order:

3 Masters: Cyrus Lakdawala, Kevin Trujillo and Bruce Baker
5 Experts: Braulio Cuarta, Venkat Iyer, Leonard Sussman, Chris Wonnell and Gurveer Singh
11 Class A: Richard Skinnell, Ajay Krishnan, Aaron Householder, Sridhar Ramanujam, Alex Costello, Chuck Ensey, Jay Choi, Jack Manata, Datris Robinson, Pejman Sagart and Justin Kang
4 Class B: Ben Duong, Ramil Macaspac, Renato Conducto and Anthony Harbone
6 Class C: Sabrina Duong, David Narevsky, Ken Green, Tygan Zeng, Chris Mitchell and Alex Householder
5 Class D: Michael Blandin, Anthony Liu, Fred Cleveland, David Terr and Andruw Householder

We used our usual 3 point McMahon pairing system (M/Exp=3, A=2, B=1, C/D=0). Bruce Charnov directed with help from Bruce Baker, Jeff Turner and Chuck Ensey.
Cyrus beat the #3,4,5 and 6 seeded players, he didn't have to face #2 Kevin Trujillo (2368), who had an off day, losing to Venkat in Rd 1 and then drawing with Lenny Sussman. Kevin then beat Aaron Householder, but in the last round he lost to his friend Braulio! I am sure he will get used to the Gambito time control (G/40, d/5) and do better in the future. Bruce lost to Cyrus after two wins and then drew with Venkat. The big rating point gainers (estimated) were Michael Blandin +141 (1397 to 1538) and David Terr +107 (998 to 1105). David upset Renato in the last round. Another big upset was David Narevsky beating Jay Choi in the last round. Ken Green also gained 81 points and Alex Householder 65.   

Here are the prize winners:

First Place: Cyrus Lakdawala (7), $125  Second Place: Bruce Baker (5 1/2), $75
BU2400: Braulio Cuarta (5 1/2), $75      BU2200: Venkat Iyer (5 1/2), $75
BU2000: Alex Costello (5) and Richard Skinnell (5), $50 each
BU1800: Ben Duong (4), $60
BU1600: Ken Green (3) and David Narevsky (3), $25 each
BU1400: Michael Blandin (3), $50

Total Prizes: $610

Gambito #633

Gambito Open #633  10/16/13

36 players, wonderful turnout. Here they are in pre-event rating order:

4 Masters: Cyrus Lakdawala, Kevin Trujillo, Bruce Baker and Nikolay Arutyunov

6 Experts: Braulio Cuarta, Venkat Iyer, Ron Gutman, Elkaei Rivera, Gurveer Singh and Leonard Sussman

11 Class A: Aaron Householder, Thomas Diem, Buddy Morris, Jay Choi, Jason Arbeiter, Chuck Ensey, Jerry Qu, Jack Manata, Datris Robinson, Pejman Sagart and Ben Keltner

5 Class B: Ben Duong, Keric Rivas, Renato Conducto, Sabrina Duong and Anthony Harbone

4 Class C: Chris Mitchell, Ken Green, Torrey Duan and Diego Draguicevich

6 Class D and below: Anthony Liu, Jason Duan, Dwayne Matheny, Patrick Edwards, David Terr and Andruw Householder

We also had 6 house players: John Donahoo (2 games, he is our "go to" house player in the first 3 rounds), David Palmer (1 game), both Class B; plus Karl Lindberg (1 game, trying to get back into chess), Sue Duong (1 game) and Henry Duong (2 games) and Jim Harrell (1 game, he is often available in the last round which is nice for us). I am trying to get the Duong parents to gain more experience and they seem more than willing to learn. Sue almost drew with Dwayne Matheny.

We used the usual 3 point McMahon pairing system: (M/Ex=3, A=2, B=1, C/D=0)

Several new players added to the mix: Cyrus drew in the last round with 2310 rated Kevin Trujillo (and that is his FIDE rating!), who lost the first round to Ron Gutman, provisionally rated 2107 based on only 4 games in Gambito #631. Gutman also beat Bruce Baker in round 2 but then lost to Cyrus and drew with Venkat Iyer. Braulio Cuarta (2168, also provisional) lost to Cyrus and Nikolay, but beat myself and Jason Arbeiter and I get the feeling he will be a master soon. Buddy Morris beat me (Chuck Ensey) in the last round to win U2000, Bud didn't miss the mate in 1 that I didn't see on move 34. I also missed a winning move for me versus Bud on move 26 - such is life at the Gambito Open where you have to be not only good but fast! Ben Duong lost to Ben Keltner in round 1, but then won 3 in row to win BU1800. Fairly new player Diego Draguicevich won BU1600 with 3 wins and a loss to Ben Duong, but he was tied with 2 U1400 players, Dwayne Matheny (3 wins) and Anthony Liu (2 wins, 2 draws). Jack Manata and Chris Mitchell were also new players from North County, great to see new "blood"! 42 players in all including the house players makes for a full playing hall and lots of excitement. It was also Anthony Liu's first Gambito Open and he won $50! Come join us and make some new friends!! We play every Saturday with registration from 10 AM to 10:25, please call if you are running late so we can get started on time...  The club number is 619-239-7166. You can also take a bye in round 1 and play only 3 games, the second round starts at 12:15, but please show up a little before that to make sure you get in the pairings. Thanks everyone from your friendly TD, Chuck Ensey. The 2 Bruce's (Baker and Charnov) also direct at times, and Jeff Turner is available on occasion, along with Eliza Eggert and Bud Stamper.     

Here are the prize winners:

First Place: Cyrus Lakdawala (6 1/2), $100  Second Place: Nikolay Arutyunov (6), $75

BU2400: Kevin Trujillo (5 1/2): $50

BU2200: Ron Gutman (5 1/2) and Leonard Sussman (5 1/2), $50 each

21 players today, plus 3 house players:

1 Master: Cyrus Lakdawala

November Super Gambito Open (#631)

November Super Gambito Open (#631)  on 11/02/13

33 players today, pretty good turnout, including a couple of new players. Here they are in pre-event rating order:

Open Section (20 players)

3 Masters: Cyrus Lakdawala, Bruce Baker and Braulio Cuarta Garcia (2150 FIDE)

4 Experts: Jim Humphrey, Venkat Iyer, Leonard Sussman and Gurveer Singh

14 Class A: Chris Wonnell, Richard Skinnell, Ajay Krishnan, Aaron Householder, Thomas Diem, Kevin Yang, Zechariah Zhu, Jerry Qu, Pejman Sagart, Daniel Zhu, Ben Duong, Chuck Ensey and Ron Gutman (unr)

Reserve Section (13 players)

7 Class B: Justin Yang, Rolando Ignacio, (John Donahoo, house player), Datris Robinson, Claire Negus, Andrew Negus, Scott Householder and Anthony Harbone

4 Class C: Sabrina Duong, Renato Conducto, Stephen Zhu and Mark Negus

2 Class D: Ken Green and David Terr

The 2 new players were Braulio Cuarta Garcia from Cuba and Ron Gutman. We don't use a McMahon pairing system for the Super Gambito, just the normal Swiss system and there weren't enough Masters and Experts to put them in their own section, so in the first two rounds the masters had it pretty easy. Cyrus disposed of Ajay Krishnan and Chris Wonnell before having to face Braulio Garcia, a new player, whom he also beat without too much trouble. He then drew quickly with Bruce Baker to clinch first place. Bruce took a bye, then beat Kevin Yang and Venkat Iyer. Venkat beat Jerry Qu, Ron Gutman and Jim Humphrey to win BU2400. Gurveer Singh continued his run of successes with wins over Ben Duong, a loss to Braulio, but then a draw with Ajay and a crushing win over Leonard Sussman to taken BU2200.

In the Reserve Section, Datris went 4-0 and his rating just might break 1800, but we will have to wait, unofficially he gained 54 points to 1793. With the new k factor recently installed by USCF, he is probably over. Justin Kang, the number 1 seed at 1789 going in, won 3 in a row but lost to Datris in the last round, still putting him at an estimated 1799, but likely over 1800 when rated. Sabrina Duong lost her first game with Rolando Ignacio, but then piled up 3 wins over David Terr, Claire Negus and Renato Conducto to win BU1600. Renato is a new player who played his first event last week. Ben Duong, Sabrina's brother went over 1800 last week and so was thrown to the wolves in the Open section and went 0-4, probably dropping him back under 1800, although the estimated rating came out 1801.    

Here were the Prize winners:

Open Section

First Place: Cyrus Lakdawala (3 1/2), $125

2nd Place/BU2400: Bruce Baker (3) and Venkat Iyer (3), $75 each

2nd U2400: Braulio Cuarta Garcia (2 1/2), $25

2nd U2200: Jim Humphrey (2) and Leonard Sussman (2), $7 each

3rd U2000: Ajay Krishnan (2), Thomas Diem (2), Daniel Zhu (2), Zechariah Zhu (2) and Chuck Ensey (2), $7 each
