2 PLAYERS
RUNNING FOR OFFICE
ONLY
4 games were completed in the 4th round of the 2004 Non-master Chess
tournament held on Sunday, Feb. 01, at Paul Brothers Tri-M General
Merchandise and Food Retail in Malakal.
The
5th game between Jess Toldoya and Jose Omega, who has to work at 5pm,
was adjourned. Their game's position was recorded and Toldoya wrote his
sealed move to be opened next Sunday for the resumption of their game.
This
is the first adjourned game of the tournament. Omega has a previous
adjourned game against Ivan II Chess Computer on October 17, 2003.
Toldoya
is running for one of the 15 Board of Director seats in the February 08
election of The Filipino Community in Palau under the United Regional
Party while Roberto Hernandez is running for auditor.
Cyril
Montel, Jr. defeated Ivan II Chess Computer in 74 moves of Caro-Khan
Defence. He also defeated Jimmy Valenzuela as per Valenzuela's request
that if he didn't make it at 5:30 pm, he will lose by default to his
scheduled opponent.
It
is up to Montel, Jr. to give him a chance to replay it someday. Montel,
Jr. will be helping the Commission on Election this Sunday and will be
absent for the 5th round.
In other completed game, Menandro Manuel is still undefeated after scoring another win over Bong Alipoon.
Latecomer
Amante Caballero played his first game against Hernandez in the
latter's residence on January 29 and earned half point by drawing the
game in just 25 moves of Sicilian Defence.
Caballero
offered a draw on the 21st move with the position unclear. Hernandez
opted to continue but gained no advantage and accepted the draw after
falling to a slightly inferior position.
In
the kid's division, defending champion Charles Aquino edged out
16-year-old Michael Velarde (2-1) to keep the lead while 18-year-old
Karen Hernandez won over Chris Domingo in similar fashion. She lost the
first game but won the last 2 to stay at 2nd spot with 2.5 points.
Their
last game was a very exciting one that even the small crowd watching
the game couldn't hold on to themselves when they saw a mate in 3 moves
that should have ended the game.
This week's featured classic game is between Paul Morphy and Count Isouard in Paris, 1858.
While
waiting for Anderssen to arrive from Breslau, Morphy the delights of
Paris -- including the opera house. DuRing the marriage of Figaro he
entertained his hosts with this elegant brilliancy, mating on the 17th
move with his last 2 pieces!
1.
e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 Bg4 Not yet in the Philidor Defence! After a few
forced moves, white gets a big jump in development. 4. dxc5 Bxf3 5. Qxf3
dxe5 6. Bc4 Nf6 seems natural, but Qe7 was necessary, as this game
shows.
7.
Qb3 Qe7 8. Nc3 development, not material! ... c6 9. Bg5 b5 Far too
optimistic, given the congestion of the black pieces. 10. Nxb5 cxb5 11.
Bxb5+ Nbd7 12. 0-0-0 Rd8 13. Rxd7 removing another defender. ... Rxd7
14. Rd1 Qe6 Air at last. But now Morphy shows how simple a mate can be.
15. Bxd7 Nxd7 16. Qb8+ Nxb8 17. Rb8 mate.
