THE CONTROVERSIAL GAME
CM Bernardo Garcia, left, Palau's first titled player, had his title being a disrepute to the game of chess in his game against Jose Celiz during the 2012 Palau National Chess Championship. With the increment not working, Garcia tried to win on time alone with his position hopeless. He didn't accept the decision of Chief Arbiter Roberto Hernandez till the end until his withdrawal in the last few rounds.

Hi Bernard and Jose,
Thank you for the trust
you have in me in deciding the result of your exciting game last Saturday.
It is a big responsibility and I am now replying with utmost objectivity.
First, Menandro's game
with Tito was already decided without dispute and there are no witnesses, hence
that is moot. The result STANDS. Besides it is possible to lose on time even
with time increments.
In your
game, Bernard was clearly playing to win on time alone since the clock was
'defective' in a sense which all of us who witnessed acknowledged that the
increment was not working. That was not fair especially to the party who is in
time trouble because the purpose of the increment is to make provisions for
such situation.
A player cannot win on
time ALONE if it is not possible to win by NORMAL means. If the game has taken
its normal course there is no way for Bernard to win the game. However, he
or players in his situation may claim what is the use of the clock if he cannot
win on time? This may look complicated but let me give you several relevant
situations from my experience either as a player or an arbiter.
In one national
tournament in Ninoy Aquino Stadium, I have won a king-and-pawns endgame on time
with my opponent queening ahead of me. I was about to promote my pawn to a
queen after he got his when I noticed his flag fell. I claimed a win on time
and was successful. This game was played WITHOUT any increment, and it was
possible for me to win by normal means after promoting my pawn to a queen to
reach a queen-and-pawns endgame.
In a rapid tournament
game I played in Bulacan, my rival has a rook and pawn against my lone
rook and I was very short of time. I managed to encircle his pawn and we ended
up with a rook apiece with me down to 5 seconds WITHOUT increment. I stopped
the clock and called the arbiter to claim a draw. "On what ground?,"
the arbiter asked. "The game cannot be won by normal means!", I responded.
The arbiter declared, accepted and said "a player cannot win on time
alone!" (that applies to all time control including rapid with the
exception of blitz games). If the claim is not accepted (in this situation
there is no reason the arbiter should not), the arbiter shall add 2 minutes to
my opponent and the game shall continue.
Bernard could
rightfully and legally claim a win on time had the INCREMENT been working.
Because it was not, a decision on the game has to be made and the appropriate
result is a DRAW. I repeat, it is only a draw because the increment was not
working as proved by witnesses. Otherwise, Jose should lose on time. NO
REPLAY IS NECESSARY.
It is a good experience
for all of us. I must emphasize to all that in future a player who is
short of time (assuming clock is functioning and set correctly) may wish to
claim a draw TO THE ARBITER, and BEFORE HIS TIME EXPIRES. The arbiter decides
whether or not the game can be won by normal means, not just on time, by the
other player. I may deny the 'wrong' claim and add 2 minutes to the
opponent (say, in cases there are plenty of possibilities and that the opponent
can still win by normal means; bishop of opposite colors are not necessarily
drawn, bear that in mind).
Caution: I should
not ADJUDICATE the position. If analyses would be resorted to that is only an
indication that it was possible to win the game by normal means.
For sportsmanship
sake, Bernard should have not claimed a win on time in a game he cannot
win by normal means. He should not raise a howl when I make the decision
to declare the game drawn. I want to advise everybody that he could be
declared the winner on time had there was no anomaly on the clock. But being a
CANDIDATE MASTER the player must act in such a way that it will not bring
disrepute to the game of chess, and especially to his title.
However, I understand
that not everyone knows, much less understand, the Laws of Chess, that is
why Bernard acted the way he did. While it may not be unsporting,
still his action was legal. Unfortunately, the claim for a win cannot be
granted because of the 'faulty' setting in the clock. If not for 'faulty' clock
setting (increment not working), Bernard's claim to win on time may appear
unsporting but was legal.
I trust that this would
help everybody clarify the situation. I'm handling it in the most diplomatic
way--but if that will not fly, then by all means I will ASSERT my
authority as the arbiter (and I have NOW the conviction that I
am doing the right thing) and that my decision, which is made to the
best of my judgment and according to the Laws of Chess, is final and not
subject to appeal.
Let's keep the peace and
value human relationship more than game results.
Best regards,
Robert
Tito

A LOT TO BE LEARNED FROM 1 GAME
This controversial game between Jose Celiz, left and CM Bernardo Garcia has been the subject of positive disputes that only strengthen the players' knowledge about the FIDE Laws of Chess. A lot of learning experiences, that will be applied to the next tournaments next year.

IT WILL go down in history as the
most controversial Palau National Chess Championship—the 2012. The final day
was held on Dec. 16 at Palau Royal Resort’s Conference Room. Its target date of
conclusion was in Dec. 02, but due to Typhoon Bopha, it has finally concluded
on Dec. 16… NOT QUITE!
Candidate
Master Bernardo Garcia, Palau’s first titled player, emailed Palau’s Rating
Officer and Team Captain of 2010 and 2012 World Chess Olympiads Jamie Kenmure
about the result of his game against Jose Celiz on Nov. 17 that sparked a lot
of controversies.
During
the last dying seconds of that game, Celiz lost by time forfeit but complained
about the increment that didn’t work. Menandro Manuel, Roberto Hernandez,
Paquito Suringa, Jr., Baby Edna Mission and Jon Manuel Reyes were watching the
game and confirmed that the 30 seconds increment of the clock is really not
working.
After
a few days of researches of FIDE Laws of Chess, Hernandez, who is also the
chief arbiter of the event, declared that game a draw. The tournament goes
smoothly with some additions and replacements like—Freddie Gloria replaced Ma.
Florida Hernandez; Nilo de Jesus became active again after 7 years of being
inactive and off island. He replaced lawyer Scott Hess, who couldn’t play 14
games in 6 weeks.
Manuel
‘Jun’ Mahor’s confirmation to participate makes the Class B (1650 rating and
below) increased its field to 18 players. More players would like to join so
Hernandez convinced Ferdinand Gutierrez to join even though he’s leaving Palau
for good in just a few weeks.
This
action opens the room for Geoff Martin, Mary Frances Lopez and Baby Edna
Mission to complete the 21-player Class B division. Mission replaced Lenge
Gibbons and when Gloria withdrew, Miguel Hilario, Jr. is lucky enough to fill
the slot in the last 4 weeks of the event.
The
tournament is to be finished in 8 weeks. Celiz played only 4 games in 6 weeks
and played 6 games on the 7th week, which is very unfair to players
who come every weekend, like Cyril Tomas Montel, Jr., the top seed. When Garcia
suffered setbacks after setbacks, his quest for his first national title is on
the line and he somehow came up with a proposal to thwart his suspicion of game
fixing especially to players of the same company.
Tito
Cabunagan and Celiz both work at PPUC and live at the same place. And they are
both in contention for a slot in the top 4 position. Garcia proposed to have a
playoff among the top 4 finishers like a semifinal with the top 2 advancing to
the finals.
Garcia’s
insistence of having a playoff became more intense when he found a law in FIDE
Laws of Chess that players of the same company/federation should play in the
first 3 rounds and not in the last 3 rounds.
When
Tito and Jose played their 2 games, the result was a win and a draw for Tito,
which Bernard accused as ‘fixed’ as there are no witness when they played it.
When Tito and Jose replayed their games on Dec. 02 during the lashing of
Typhoon Bopha, the result is the same with Hernandez and Montel, Jr. as
witnesses.
Garcia
emailed everybody that he is taking a break from chess for the rest of the year
and that he is giving his slot to the next player in case there is a playoff.
His un-played game against Gonzalo Escapatoria will be recorded as (+) to
Escapatoria and (–) to him. This is being done to all FIDE-rated events.
Nine
players have a meeting after the Pacquiao-Marquez 4 boxing bout on Dec. 09 to
tackle the issues of game fixing, playoff and finishing the event as the
original format. After 2 hours of meeting, it was decided that the tourney will
proceed as its original format. No playoff and last games will be played on
Dec. 15 and 16. Absent players will lose by default to present players in the
Class B while the un-played games in Class A with be recorded as (+) to the
present player and (-) to the absent player.
The
last crucial 4 games of Class A are: Montel vs. Escapatoria (2 games); Suringa
vs. Montel; and Celiz vs. Suringa. Montel arrived first on Sat. Dec. 15 but
Suringa is very busy cooking the food for PRR Christmas party to be held at Sea
Passion Hotel. Montel is also attending the PPR Christmas party at
Ngarchmayong.
On
Dec. 16, Montel and Escapatoria drew their 1st game and Montel won
the 2nd game. His next game vs. Suringa didn’t happen as well as
Celiz vs. Suringa. In the Class B division, only few games were played and the
present players all won by default that resulted in the 8th place
finish of 8-year-old Destiny Sisior.
Final
standings of Class B: 1. Dennis Gonzales (Champion) 2. Jeff Balbalosa 3. Angie Parrado 4. Miguel Hilario, Jr. 5.
Baby Edna Mission 6. Nilo de Jesus 7. Jon Manuel Reyes 8. Destiny Sisior 9.
Luciano Sibayan 10. Jaime dela Cruz 11. Mohammad Manik Hossain 12. Ferdinand
Gutierrez 13. Angelil Sisior 14. Ksau Anthony Whipps 15. Dan Roldan 16. Zachary
Techall Whipps 17. Geoff Martin 18. Elpidio Manaligod 19. Mary Frances Lopez
20. Manuel Mahor, Jr. 21. Paz Ngiratechekii.
Cabunagan
was the champion of Class A and after computing the placing of Hernandez (8
points), Celiz (8 pts.), Montel, Jr. (7.5) and Garcia (7.5), the same order was
the result. Hernandez won over Celiz by using the Sonnenborn Berger system and
Montel over Garcia in direct encounter or winner over the other tiebreak.
Cabunagan
and Celiz disputed the (+) and (-) computation but when Hernandez explained to
them that they experienced this computation during the 2012 World Chess
Olympiad in Istanbul, Turkey, they are going to abide by this FIDE rule. AND
THAT ENDS THE 2012 PNCC… NOT QUITE!
In
his email to Kenmure, Garcia specified that Celiz clock fell down and he didn’t
lodge a protest before his time expires. This is a legitimate claim by Garcia
according to FIDE rules. It happened also to former world champion Gary
Kasparov in his game against Hungarian whiz Judith Polgar in Linares, Spain in
1994.
But
there is a technical problem in the increment that’s why Celiz lost on time. If
the increment is working, there’s no way that Garcia will win with Celiz ahead
by 2 connected pawns. And besides, Garcia found out about that ruling 3 weeks
after the incident which was already been declared a draw by the arbiter.
That
half point is crucial for Garcia to improve his rating as he would be 1st
runner-up instead of 5th place. That will make Hernandez 3rd,
Montel at 4th and Celiz at 5th.
IT’S
REALLY A CONTROVERSIAL 2012 PNCC UP TO THE END AND BEYOND!

THE CAUSE OF 2012 PNCC CONTROVERSY
I would like to express my
opinion about the cause of 2012 Palau National Chess Championship controversy…
It all started
on Nov. 17, 2012 between the game of CM Bernardo Garcia and Jose Celiz. Five
players are witnesses to the game – me, Menandro Manuel, Paquito Suringa, Jr.,
Jon Manuel Reyes and Baby Edna Mission.
During
the last dying seconds of that game, I’ve already noticed that the increment is
not working BUT… I’m not allowed, being the chief arbiter, to remind Celiz.
On
the last 5 seconds on his clock, when Celiz press his clock, it’s been
confirmed that the increment is really not working… and Celiz clock expired.
The
first thing that I said to Celiz is, “You lost by time forfeit.” By rule,
arbiter’s decision is final. Then Celiz complain about the increment that
didn’t work, in which I tried to give justice to it.
Garcia
and Celiz agreed to play another game and I said to Garcia, “Let’s see if
there’s time.” I said that because I don’t think that playing another game to
settle this is not possible because of the rate Celiz is playing. He played
only 4 games in 6 weeks and it looks like impossible for him to play 11 games,
including the replay, in the last 2 weeks. Me, Menandro and Paquito have played
11 games already. Garcia, Tito Cabunagan, Cyril Montel, Jr. and Gonzalo
Escapatoria have played 9, 8, 7, 6 games respectively.
After
searching the FIDE Laws of Chess, which is displayed/posted always at the
bulletin board, I found a solution to declare that game a draw which Garcia
couldn’t accept till now because Celiz COMPLAINED AFTER HIS CLOCK FELL.
If
Celiz stopped the clock when he noticed that the increment is not working, I
would have done something right away like adjusting the clock so that it will
have increment.
BUT
CELIZ FAILED TO COMPLAIN BEFORE HIS TIME EXPIRED. HE FAILED TO TAKE ACTION
WHILE THERE IS TIME SO HE AUTOMATICALLY LOST THAT GAME.
It
happened in 1994 between world champion Gary Kasparov and Judit Polgar in
Linares, Spain. Polgar lost that game when she failed to protest a touch move
violation by Kasparov.
THIS
IS AN ADVICE TO ALL –(IN THE FUTURE) –We don’t have yet an Appeals Committee
which can overturn the arbiter’s decision on point of fact or exercise of
discretion, but not on point of law.
Included in the agenda of our Annual General
Meeting on Feb. 10, 2013 is the creation of Appeals Committee to be composed of
Palau’s 3 National Arbiters –Roberto Hernandez, CM Bernardo Garcia and Dennis
Gonzales.
It’s late to protest after the game. Stop the
clock and protest right away. WE WILL APPLY THIS RULE TO ALL THE PROCEEDING
TOURNAMENTS.
Garcia
said that if that half point will have a big impact to the result of the
standings, he will continue to protest about it. Things become more complicated
when Celiz played 6 games on the 7th week, which is another
violation of a FIDE rule – a maximum of 2 games a day is allowed if the time
control is standard time.
Celiz
played 3 games on Saturday, Nov. 24 and 3 games on Nov. 25 including his 2nd
game against Cyril that lasted until 11:00 pm!
On
the next tournaments, we will specify a minimum number of games played each
week or each couple of weeks to assure that a player will not have much game
remaining to play.
Another
violation was committed when Celiz played against his co-employee Cabunagan
twice NOT in the official venue but in their room with no witnesses. We are
lucky to have a very good playing area and we should take advantage of this.
Besides, Celiz and Cabunagan are off on Saturday and Sunday AND THE TOURNAMENT
SITE IS JUST 300 METERS AWAY FROM THEIR PLACE.
There
is another rule in FIDE that participants of the same federation must NOT play
against each other on the last 3 rounds. It is said “federation and not
company”, which is not applied in this case. Since our next tournaments are
local events, we will apply this rule that players of the same company must
play in the first 3 rounds and not in the last 3 rounds.
Cabunagan
also played one game against Suringa in his room and without witnesses also. It
was allowed by the arbiter because Cabunagan is going off island for 15 days.
But when his trip was cancelled because of Typhoon Bopha, they should replay
that game in the official venue.
The
only thing going against the games between Celiz and Cabunagan is the venue.
Now that it became an issue, we must include in our local rule the consequence
in playing games in non-sanctioned venue.
It
is proper not to accept the results of their games and have them played anew at
the official venue. They replayed their 2 games NOT in the official venue but
in the presence of Cyril and Roberto. BUT… because Typhoon Bopha is starting to
lash Palau at about 6:00 pm that Sunday, Dec. 02, 2012, Cyril and Roberto left
the place with their 1st game still in the middle game.
During
that time, all other games are completed and it was possible to affect the
final standings with their replayed games.
WITHOUT
MAKING ACCUSATION OR INSINUATION, AS EVERYBODY SEE, TITO CAME FIRST AND CELIZ
ENDED UP 3RD OUT OF NOWHERE!
Those
actions/violations of Celiz trigger the suspicion of Garcia of game fixing.
That’s why he suggested having a playoff so that those players who played more
games and got some good results after 7 weeks will play in the playoffs on
Saturday (semifinal) and finals on Sunday.
Celiz,
being able to play only 10 games will be booted out in favor of Cyril, who
played 11 games and always at the tournament site every weekend.
Where
is Celiz during the opening day and the next 10 playing days that he played
only 4 games in 6 weeks? And now he wants to play as many games as he can in
the last 2 weeks of the event?
Everybody
is adjusting TO HIM instead of HIM adjusting to everybody.
With
chance now for at least a top 4 finish, he is present on the last day hoping to
win by default if his last round opponent will not show up.
This
is what GM Eugene Torre is saying – that the absent player loses by default and
their game will not be rated. WHAT ABOUT
IF BOTH PLAYERS ARE PRESENT?
Suringa’s
work is finished at 2:00 pm on Sunday, Dec. 16 and he waited for Celiz for 1
hour for their 2nd game. He played 2 practice games with some
present players (Class B) while waiting also for the last 2 official games of
Cyril and Escapatoria. He still has one game left vs. Cyril.
Their
game on Sat. Nov. 15 was called off because Suringa is very busy cooking food
for PRR Christmas party that night. Cyril is also going to their Christmas
party.
When
Celiz come, it’s now time for Suringa to go to a place where he has the key to
open it. Now it’s Celiz’ turn to wait.
DOES
HE THINK THAT EVEN ON THE LAST DAY, PLAYERS WILL ADJUST TO HIM? EVEN ON BUSY
CHRISTMAS SEASON?
It’s
just right to put + - or - /- to Celiz’
game vs. Suringa because it’s not default… it is un-played game. GAMES NOT
ACTUALLY PLAYED SHOULD NOT BE RATED AND APPROPRIATELY RECORDED AS +/- or -/-
(double forfeit). I’M VERY SURE OF THIS.
They were not
able to play it because Suringa and Cyril have waited for him in the 12 playing
days of the event. Maybe it’s better to have + - in favor of Suringa.
In
the 2011 Rapid Chess tournament at PRR, Celiz agreed to play vs. Mohammad Manik
Hossain at 11:00 am Sunday. Manik arrived at 11:30. He has to go back to Airai,
which is 10 kilometers away, for work at 3:00 pm.
Celiz
and Cabunagan arrived at 1:30 pm when Manik is about to leave for work. I
declared that game a default loss to Celiz. They agreed to play their 2nd
game on next Sunday at 11:00 am again.
Celiz
and Cabunagan came at 1:30 pm again!
They
are staying at a place that is 300 meters from PRR while Manik is 10 kilometers
away and had to spent money for gas in going to the tournament site. WHAT IS
WRONG WITH YOU, CELIZ?
I
declared that 2nd game another default loss to Celiz.
Manik
is humble enough to offer a replay of their 2 games if Celiz will pay $10.00
for the gas that he spent in going to PRR twice.
Being
a stingy person as he is, (in my opinion), Celiz refused the offer. He hasn’t
paid yet his $10.00 registration fee in the 2011 Palau National Chess
Championship, the $20.00 registration fee for 2011 Rapid Chess tournament and
the recently concluded 2012 Palau National Chess Championship of another
$10.00.
During
the meeting on Dec. 9, 2012, he promised to pay for 2011 and 2012 PNCC but
until now, it’s still a promise.
Anyway,
the cross-table was submitted already by Jamie Kenmure with the final
standings: 1. Tito Cabunagan 2. Roberto Hernandez 3. Jose Celiz 4. Cyril Tomas
Montel, Jr. 5. CM Bernardo Garcia 6. Menandro Manuel 7. Paquito Suringa, Jr. 8.
Gonzalo Escapatoria.
Garcia
is still unsatisfied with the final standings. That half point really affected
this event. In his opinion, if Tito and the rest had played a playoff and Tito
still emerges as champion, then he really deserves it. With many irregularities
that clouded this PNCC, the final standing is still in doubt.
There
is a good point to Garcia’s suggestion of a playoff. We agreed in the meeting
on Dec. 9 that we will proceed and finish the tournament according to its
original format, but Garcia’s line of “Why you will continue to cross the wrong
path when you are warned that it’s the wrong way?”
THE
RIGHT WAY HAS BEEN FOUND. WILL YOU CONTINUE IN GOING THE WRONG WAY?
But
Bernard’s suggestion of a playoff is not proper regardless of the situation.
YOU DON’T CHANGE HORSES AT MIDDLE OF STREAM! If that is to be effected, then we
need to cancel all results and start all over again. Had that taken place, even
Menandro who had 7 losses would have a chance of winning the championship –
and, I believe, if given that new lease of life, he will try with all his might
to be the victor.
With
only 8 players in Class A, there’s no logic of trimming it down to half and
then have a semi-final and final match. If that is so, we better just draw
numbers and start with quarterfinal matches. A double round-robin is already a
credible format.
WE
WILL ENSURE THAT THOSE UNFORTUNATE INCIDENTS LAST YEAR WILL NOT BE REPEATED.
I
hope these incidents will make Palau chess players better and stronger to the
next challenges ahead. I also hope that this will also lead us to a closer
camaraderie and to enjoy the game of chess the right way!
GOOD
DAY TO EVERYBODY AND PLEASE ATTEND OUR ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING ON FEB. 10, 2013
AT WAVES RESTAURANT OF PALAU ROYAL RESORT FROM 2-5 PM.
PRIZES
AND CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION WILL BE GIVEN.
PLEASE
BRING YOUR LAPTOP BECAUSE MENANDRO MANUEL AND JAMIE KENMURE WILL “ATTEND”
THROUGH SKYPE OR FACEBOOK.
