Gambito Open #600

Gambito Open #600 2/23/13

This was a milestone event, but nothing special was planned as all effort recently went into the Recession Buster Open. As expected, the turnout was a little light after the big long weekend event starting last Saturday. We had 22 players, here they were:
5 Masters: Cyrus Lakdawala, Kyron Griffith, Bruce Baker, Peter Graves and Nikolay Arutyunov
4 Experts: Venkat Iyer, Leonard Sussman, Jeff Turner and Ben Barquin
4 Class A: Buddy Morris, Ajay Krishnan, Jay Choi and Gregory Ingolia
6 Class B: Daniel Cook, Chuck Ensey, Hector Gonzalez, David Narevsky, Gary Weeks and Anthony Harbone
3 Class C and below: Ben Keltner, Fred Cleveland and Jim Harrell
Bruce Baker directed and used a 2 point McMahon pairing system where M =2, Exp/A=1, B/C=0

Kyron and Cyrus drew in round 2. Cy defeated Bruce Baker, Peter Graves and Nikolay Arutyunov. Kyron managed wins over Peter, Ben Barquin and Nikolay. Nikolay defeated Bruce but then ran into the 2421 rated Kyron and the 2506 rated Cyrus. It was good to see Nikolay playing again, it has been a while. Dionisio Aldama was playing at an event in Mexico or we would have had 6 masters. Peter Graves won games over Jeff Turner and Leonard Sussman to win U2400, while Venkat Iyer won U2200 with wins over Buddy Morris, Jay Choi and Jeff Turner, plus a loss to Ben Barquin.

Gary Weeks had a great day, moving up from Class B to win the U2000 prize. He won over Jim Harrell, drew with Daniel Cook and then won over Class A players Ajay Krishnan and Greg Ingolia. The last prize winner, Ben Keltner, won over Jim Harrell and Fred Cleveland. No big changes in ratings except for Gary Weeks, who racked up 92 points to get back to 1700 (approximately, it should be officially rated soon).

Here were the prize winnners:

First/Second Place: Kyron Griffith (5 1/2) and Cyrus Lakdawala (5 1/2), $70 each
BU2400: Peter Graves (4), $50
BU2200: Venkat Iyer (4), $50
BU2000: Gary Weeks (3 1/2), $50
BU1800: Daniel Cook (2 1/2), $50
BU1600: Ben Keltner (2), $50

Total Prizes: $390

Next week: March Super Gambito Open on 3/02/13. 4 rounds, g/40, Entry Fee = $25

Of note was the return of Master Peter Graves in an impressive performance defeating Venkat, drawing both Cyrus and Kyron, then losing only to Bruce.

Again, it’s great seeing kids playing well enough to win prizes in this tough event (Barozzi, Costello and Keltner comprise 33% of the prize winners).

Here were the prize winners:
First Place: Kyron Griffith (6), $100
Second Place: IM Cyrus Lakdawala (5 1/2), $50
BU2400: Peter Graves, Bruce Baker (5), $30 each

Gambito #598 Feb Super Gambito

Gambito Open #598 February Super Gambito 2/02/13

31 players, a litlle below average for a Super Gambito. Here are the players in pre-event rating order:

Open Section (17 players):
4 Masters: Dionisio Aldama, Cyrus Lakdawala, Kyron Griffith and Bruce Baker
7 Experts: Venkat Iyer, Aaron Wooten, Leonard Sussman, Bud Stamper, Jeff Turner, Chris Wonnell and Elkaei Rivera
3 Class A: Daniel Zhu, Jay Choi and Pejman Sagart
3 Class B playing up in the Open: Jerry Qu, Chuck Ensey and Albert Dumaran.
Also B players John Donahoo (2 games) and Brian Kelly (1 game) filled in as house players.

Reserve Section (14 players):
8 Class B: Gurveer Singh, Daniel Cook, Fawsi Jose Murra, Alex Costello, Anand Mehta, Stephen Zhu, Ben Keltner and Anthony Harbone
2 Class C: Thomas Diem and Anthony Trujillo
4 Class D and below: Tygan Zeng, Luis Valencia, Patrick Edwards and Christopher Martin (unr)

Here are the prize winners:
Open Section:
First Place: Dionisio Aldama (4), $125
Second Place: Kyron Griffith (3) and Cyrus Lakdawala (3), $37 each
BU2400: Venkat Iyer (3), $75
BU2200: Bud Stamper (3), $75
2nd U2400: Leonard Sussman (2 1/2), $25
2nd U2200: Elkaei Rivera (2) and Chris Wonnell (2), $12 each
BU2000: Daniel Zhu (2) and Pejman Sagart (2), $50 each

Dionisio beat all 3 of the other masters, plus Jeff Turner in round 1. He gained about 30 points, once again putting him close to 2600 at about 2592. Exactly where Cyrus would like to be, but it will be tough for Cy as long as the new top dog in town is around. Venkat and Bud Stamper each gained about 20 points, and almost everyone else lost rating points or gained only a few.

Reserve Section:
First Place: Anand Mehta (3 1/2), $75
BU1600: Thomas Diem (3), $50
2nd Place: Anthony Harbone (3) and Alex Costello (3), $12 each
2nd U1600: Tygan Zeng (1), Luis Valencia (1) and Anthony Trujillo (1), $7 each

Anand was visiting from Seattle WA and was just looking for some casual games, but ended up playing in the Gambito. He enjoyed it and says he will be back several times a year. Thomas Diem pushed his rating over 1600 with 3 wins today (gaining aprox 81 points to 1634) , losing only to Gurveer Singh. This event won't count for the Recession Buster though, as we are using the February Supplement ratings which are already established. Alex Costello couldn't play the last round or he might have finished higher in the standings. Anthony Harbone also had a good day, gaining 59 points to bounce off his floor of 1600.

Best Games to be announced here later
Total Prizes: $700
