Austin Friars 1 3 Hartlepool
Syd Cassidy 118 0 1 127 Bernard Price
Saathvik Shetty 98 0 1 92 Bill Wilson
Stephen Lowis 95 1 0 90 Peter Harker
Sam McStay 85 0 1 80 Dave Smith
 
This was a close match, decided in the end by late blunders from the Friars boards one and four turning the match against us.
 
Intermediate
Austin Friars 2 2 Wallasey
Colin Costello 163 0 1 126 EDA Taylor
Ian Mackay 110 0.5 0.5 120 Mark Spriggs
Alan Hiatt 109 0.5 0.5 112 L Wolszczak
Bruce Wallace 104 1 0 104 M Hargreaves
 
This was also a very tight match and since both teams cannot progress Wallasey go through on the tie-break, in this case on board count which is a new system to me.



South Lakes Tournament 2008

The venue was once again the Cumbria Grand Hotel in Grange over Sands, the organising team was once again Dave Cole, Janet and Trevor Blower and the result was the same once again, an excellent weekend. Heaven only knows where they get the lovely weather from, the hotel have got around to sprucing up the impressive venue, but everything else stems from the organising team‘s experience, huge sense of fun (though the 2am jokes are still no better) and tons of time and effort they put in. The ever-growing number of entries and the fact they now have to turn people away well before the event is good evidence of this event‘s popularity.
Among the local players several made promising starts only to fade away, though I think we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves even if we went away at times disgusted with the mistakes we made. Four who didn‘t let themselves down were Philippe Gleizon, Lewis McAtear, Christopher Dodd and Mike Mason.
Philippe has had to step up a level this year and is now ”competing with the big boys• and shows he can hold his own comfortably. Even though he lost his final game he played outstanding chess with a draw followed by three wins in his first four games in his first major South Lakes.
Mike Mason did much the same in the under 90 section and like Philippe had a spring in his step over the weekend.
Lewis and Christopher cannot be faulted in any way as they each finished second in their sections with a score of 4 ½ out of 5 and the ½ was the result of taking a bye on the Friday night, so in fact their record was played 4 won 4.
Well done.

Janet Blower would like to pass on a big thank you to all those at the South Lakes Congress who supported her in the Barrow Race of Life. £86.50 was raised at the congress and this was sent off on the following day along with the other sponsorship money raised.

We need to give organiser Philippe Gleizon a hearty thank you for organising these championships and congratulations as well for scoring two points while doing the organising.

Gibraltar International Tournment

A report from Dave Cole who came 2nd with 4/5 points in the U1800(U150) Amateur event and picked up £500.

[Dave's 5 games can be downloaded as a Word document.]
 
The Gibtelecom Open event lasted 2 weeks in Jan/Feb this year and featured 175 players from 43 nations including some of the top chess players in the world. Taking part amongst others were Michael Adams, Jon Speelman, Victor Korchnoi and over 40 GM's, IM's and other titled players. The top prize of £10,000 was won by Akopian. I managed to meet Victor Korchnoi at the airport and had my picture taken with him. - The highlight of the week! At the closing prize giving dinner I sat next to David Howell (England's youngest Grandmaster), although to my embarrassment, I had to ask him who he was, as I didn't recognise him, having only seen pictures of him when he was very young. A week later BCM had a photo of him on the front page!
The whole event was well organised, one game per day and not too early a start in the Caleta Hotel, where I stayed with Katrina for six nights, and was where most of the chess players in the tournament stayed; the hotel was transformed into a chess 'Mecca' with chess boards to be seen everywhere, especially in the bar!. Notwithstanding the size of the prize money and the chance to meet top players, there was still plenty of time for a tour of Gibraltar, Spain and Morocco. An event worth considering for 2008.
