Hobsons Bay Cup Round 4

Posted on by

The fourth round had a few unexpected game results, with Randy who has no rating yet got the point against Daniel, and Isaac also had a win over Tony. Personally, I made 2 bad moves in a row, but well done to Antonio for taking full advantage. Randy and Gregory are the only undefeated players so far, and they meet in round 5. Just 3 rounds to go!

The second round of this event had the game results going with rating, though Derek drew with Tony. Steven wanted to tell all that would listen that he ‘lost’ his game, rather than Gregory had won it; I cannot say, I didn’t see it.

Please make sure you attend your game!

Just a quick reminder about coming to chess when you are paired to play! Some players travel considerable distance to play at the club, therefore in fairness to players who attend we need to make sure that they get a game, preferably against their paired opponent.

All games get underway by 7:30pm, with a 30 minute forfeit period.

Please ensure that Steven is advised either by email or phone if you can’t attend on a night that you are paired to play (phone only if notifying on the day of the game). If he is notified he will try to contact your opponent. In addition, if you know in advance that you cannot attend a round, Steven should be advised as soon as possible so that the computer can allocate requested byes.These policies are in place to make every effort to ensure that all players attending the club actually get to play.

At the 2017 AGM we adopted the following policy for failure to attend without previous advice:

  • 1st time in tournament – Warning and player needs to confirm that they are wishing to continue.
  • 2nd time in tournament – Player withdrawn from tournament.

New time format for long-time games

We conducted a ballot on whether future rated tournaments would remain at 60 minutes + 30 seconds a move as per the Purdy Cup or revert to 75 minutes + 30 seconds a move. The results of the  ballot were clear, with 19 votes cast for the former and 9 for the latter. Therefore, tournaments will use the 60 minutes + 30 seconds a move time control for at least the remainder of 2018. This can be re-visited at the AGM at year end.

Personally, I don’t think the chess quality has suffered unduly, but the shorter time frame gives us all an opportunity for a slighter earlier night.

Dean and Ronald played out a draw in the final round, so Dean won the event on 4.5/5. This also qualifies him to play in the Club Championship later in the year. Congratulations Dean!

Purdy Cup, round 2

Posted on by

The Purdy cup continues apace. It is disappointing that there were a number of forfeits for this round. Some of our members travel considerable distances to get to the club, so they can play a competitive game of chess. So you can imagine their disappoint, given the time and cost expended to get to the club, that their opponent is absent! So please, let Steven know with sufficient notice, if you cannot make it on a Tuesday. This is just common courtesy. Sure, emergencies can happen, but this should be a rarity!
