Bruce Baker Class Championships

The Bruce Baker Class Championships    Round 1 of 6    11/17/10  7 PM

This month we honor our club manager Bruce Baker. I will say more about him later, but for now let me just point out that he is one of the best human beings I have ever known: honest, kind and trustworthy are a few of the adjectives that come to mind. His years of service to our club and to the royal game should never be taken lightly. Please wish him well when you next see him.

This event is in 5 sections: Master/Expert, Class A, B, C and D. The time control is 40/90, SD/60 with 5 second delay. There will be very nice trophies for the winners in each Class. Plus the winner of "The Masters", the highest section, will get a berth into the 2011 Club Championship without any other qualifications needed. Peter Hodges, Bruce Baker and John Funderburg are already seeded in, so if one of them wins the Masters, then whoever places second would get the berth. Tiebreaks will be used if needed.

Entry Fee is $25 as always, and also 2 byes are allowed. Please sign up in advance by emailing chucnglo@aol.com or by calling the club at 619-239-7166. For bye requests or to join, please email by 4 PM Wednesday, after that just call the club, please do so before 6:30 PM or we can't give you a half point bye.

November Gambito Opens #492-495

Gambito #495  11/27/10 

4 rounds of G/40 with 5 second delay. Entry Fee: $20. Must be USCF member ($42), but we can sign you up up on the spot (cash preferred but checks accepted, sorry no credit cards). No other memberships required (although eventually we will get you to join our club!) Almost all entry fees are paid back out in prizes, minus the rating fee. Usually we have 20 or more players so the prize fund ranges from $400 to $800, depending on the number of players. The more players, the bigger the prize fund! 

Prizes are awarded for 1st, 2nd, BU2400, BU2200, BU2000, BU1800, BU1600 and sometimes even BU1400 if we have enough Class D players  participating. Players range in rating from 2550 to 1000 or less, so don't be afraid to try it; we try to pair players of similar strengths so everyone has fun. It's a great way to learn and improve your chess by rubbing shoulders with the likes of IM Cyrus Lakdawala and NM Bruce Baker, both of whom share their vast knowledge of the game freely in friendly post-mortems after they crush the Class A players like me. There are also many young kids who play, some of them are only around 1000 rating, but others have worked their way higher by playing in this event, for instance 16 year old Kyron Griffith even became a Master after lots of hard work. So give it try!

Registration is from 10 AM to 10:25, the rounds are at 10:30, 12:15, 2:45 and 4:30. You can take a bye (a free 1/2 point) if you don't want to play the first round, just show up around noon to register or call the club at 619-239-7166 and tell us you are on the way. Any questions? email Chuck Ensey at chucnglo@aol.com               

Gambito #494  11/20/10

30 players today, a really great turnout. Sometimes the rain brings out players who might otherwise being doing something else. I don't know, maybe that had nothing to do with it, it is hard to tell what motivates people. At any rate I was just thrilled to see so many great friends. We were able to use a full McMahon with M/E=4, A=3, B=2, C=1, D=0. If we had had a few more masters we could have a 5 point McMahon, but we only had 2. Bruce took the day off... Hin Tsang and Chris Wonnell came by just to watch today and did not play... 

Here were the players, in rating order:

Masters (2): Lakdawala and Griffith

Experts (7): V. Krishnan, Arutyunov, Milton, Agron, Sussman, Damasco, Wooten

Class A (6): Vinoya, Pryor, Wijaya, Morris, Quiba, Ensey

Class B (4): Arbeiter, Blank, Kuhn, Harbone        

Class C (4): Choi, Siddiqi, Whitten, Cleveland

Class D (7): A. Negus, Edwards, C. Negus, A. Krishnan, Press, Stanard, Rich

Irina Nizmutdinova and Mark Negus also filled in for 2 house games each. There were quite a few notable upsets today: Glenn Rich over Ajay Krishnan (491 point differential), Claire Negus over Anthony Harbone (335 points), Ron Stanard over Pat Edwards (329 points), Tom Kuhn over William Wijaya (272 points), Aaron Wooten over Kyron Griffith (246 points), Dan Press over Andrew Negus (241 points) and Haziq Siddiqi over Alexander Blank (236 points). Other minor upsets were Quiba over Vinoya, Pryor over Agron and Ensey over Morris.

Usually we only have 2nd place prizes at a Super Gambito, not at regular Gambito Opens, but we threw them today in because there were so many players - I wanted to reward them with lots of prizes for coming out...    

Here is an interesting game, sort of a "bad beat", as in a surprising river card winner in poker. You can never relax in chess and I made that mistake against the resourceful Joel Quiba 

Joselito Quiba (1861) - Chuck Ensey (1842) Gambito #494, Round 3 

1.e4 Nf6 2.f3 e5 3.c3 Nxe4!? 4.fxe4 Qh4+ 5.Ke2 Qxe4+ 6.Kf2 Bc5+ 7.d4 exd4 8.Bb5? (much better was 8.Bd3 dxc3+ 9.Kf1 cxb2 10.Bxb2) dxc3+ 9.Kf1 Bxg1? (a cheapo that works, but much better was 9...c2!) 10.Rxg1? (10.Nc3 Qe5 11.Kxg1) Qf5+ 11.Ke1 Qxb5 (regaining the piece and 3 pawns to the good) 12.Nxc3 Qe5+ 13.Kf2 0-0 14.Nd5?! Qf5+? (c6! if 15.Bf4 Qxd5) 15.Qf3 Qxf3+?? ("an unfortunate move that relinquishes the win" says Fritz. I foolishly thought, hey, I am up 3 pawns, why not trade queens, Better was 15...Qc2+ 16.Kg3 Nc6) 16.gxf3 (that's why not, now White has a strong attack on Black's King, plus the threat of Nxc7) Na6? (this is not the answer, but I am going to lose anyway) 17.Bh6 Re8? (or g6 18.Nf6+ Kh8 19.Bxf8) 18.Rxg7+ Kh8 19.Nf6 Re6 20.Rxh7# 1-0 A mistake filled game, but at least it was entertaining. How NOT to play chess perhaps!
