(37) NEW CHESS TILT START SUNDAY

CHESS PUPPIES

THE FIRST chess tournament of 2004 will fire off this Sunday, January 11, at Paul Brothers Tri-M General Merchandise and Food Retail in Malakal.

More than 20 senior players and about 10 junior players have already registered.

The single round-robin tourney is being sponsored by Jose Omega ($100.00 to the senior champion) and Nilo de Jesus, who is donating cash prizes to the top 3 finishers in the junior division.

De Jesus is also providing one long table for the tilt. Joji Casinas, the venue host, is donating the trophies to the top 5 finishers in both categories.

The game will start at 1 pm with the pairings based on the players' rating. The number one seed (Ivan II Chess Computer) will be playing against the player in the middle of the rating.

Newcomers will start with the rating of 1500.

The time control for adults is 90 minutes for each player to finish the game. 30 minutes each in the kids division if they will write their moves or best-of-3 series.

Registration fee is $10 for kids and $15 for adults. The extra $5.00 is for cash prizes of 2nd to 4th runners-up.

The Sonneborn Berger system of tiebreak will be used to break ties among the top placers.

The Median system will be used if another tie happens. The Solkoff system is the last tiebreaker to be used where the player who played the most black pieces more wins.

Chess notation is a wonderful invention -- a time machine that allows us to enjoy games of all eras, even those played hundreds of years ago.

Here we see one of the first great masters, Gioachino Greco, in action.

While Greco is credited with developing some gambits, his main contribution to chess was to publish witty collections of games that illustrates his theories.

Greco considered the following as one of his best games. It is against an unknown player in the year 1619(!) in Rome.

1. e4 b6 2. d4 Bb7 3. Bd3 Greco often preferred developing his bishop to d3 rather than c4 or b5. As the game progresses, you will see that this piece is perfectly placed. 3. ... f5 Black offers a pawn to break up the enemy center.

4. exf5 White accepts the pawn, and the fireworks begin! ... Bxg2 5. Qh5+ g6. It is interesting that hundreds of years after this game was played, all of the moves so far are still considered "by the book".

If you are not aware of the date, you might believe that this game is from the Hypermodern movement of the 20th century...

6. fxg6 Nf6 Black gets greedy and losses immediately. The typical continuation is 6. ... Bg7 7. gxd7+ Kf8 8. hxg8=Q+ Kxg8 9. Qg6 (or Qg4) Bxh1 and Black has a reasonable game.

7. gxh7 Nxh5 Gleefully seizing the enemy queen, but not seeing the danger. 8. Bg6 mate.

Even after four centuries, some games can still elicit a smile.

There have been three chess tournaments held in three different venues. The first was the 2003 Open held at Image Restaurant & Sports Bar from January 12-April 27. Menandro 'Boy' Manuel of Surangel and Sons won the tourney in his very first participation.

It started to separate the younger players from senior woodpushers. Edgardo Enarsao bagged the senior title and Jayrome Soriano became the first junior champion.

Then came the season-ending 2003 Senior and Junior Open held at C & N Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Services premises from Sept. 21-Dec. 14. Roberto Hernandez and Charles Aquino won the top prizes in their respective divisions to cap the year of competitive and exciting chess development.

The first tournament of 2004 will be Non-masters Chess tournament that is open to all players with a rating of 2199 and below. It will start on January 11 at Paul Brothers Tri-M General Merchandise and Food Retail in Malakal. Its manager, Jojie Casinas, will donate trophies for the top five finishers in the adults and kids categories.

The new ratings of the senior players are as follows: 1. Ivan II Chess Computer (1993) 2. Roberto Hernandez (1879) 3. Menandro Manuel (1794) 4. Cyril Montel, Jr. (1782) 5. Jimmy Valenzuela (1742) 6.

Mario Ramos (1584) 15. Jess Toldoya (1579) 16. Amante Caballero (1573) 17. Ben Ramos (1515) 18. Tutii Joe Chilton (1510) 19. Rolando Funa (1491) 20. Francis Cuenco (1452) 21. Norbert Villanueva (1452). Newcomers will start with a rating of 1500.

Four senior players (Manuel, Valenzuela, Dandoy and Koh) are on vacation and some of them will miss the opening day but they still catch up and will have to play at least 2 games every Sunday. Valenzuela's schedule is still the same. He requested that if he did not make it at 5:30 pm, to lose by default to his scheduled opponent.
