YOUTH CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP This year's Provincial finals attracted a total of 52 players to BCIT on the May 1/2 weekend. The field was smaller than usual, but the use of two days allowed for a longer time-control and generally excellent playing conditions. The winners in each age group are given below; congratulations to all! U10 Boys 1. Kristof Juhasz 2. Tanraj Sohal 3. Alex Sabaratnam U10 Girls 1. Malina Hapchina 2. Alexandra Botez 3.

Max Reznitsky -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LITTLE MOUNTAIN GRAND PRIX by Eduardo Azmitia Jason Feng and Michael Yip won the Little Mountain Grand Prix. Both of them accumulated 10.5 points out of 16. Michael Yip obtained this score by sweeping two stages with a perfect score, but he missed one stage completely. Jason got his points by having a consistent good participation in every stage. The prize for the first place was a paid entry to the Western Canadian Open; Jason Feng walked away with the entry. We wish good luck to Jason at the Western Canadian Open. Alexandra Botez received in a raffle for the juniors the Opening CD, which was donated by Chess First Enterprises.

Jesse Bouvier is leading the tournament with 4 points. However, he can still be passed by FM Fanhao Meng or Blagoja Gicev (2344), who is a newcomer to Vancouver. Details of the crosstable can be found at the following web page under Round Robin: http://www3.telus.net/chessvancouver/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAFFODIL OPEN by Lynn Stringer The Daffodil Open was held in Victoria on April 24-25, 2004 with 17 players registered which was a fair number considering this time of the year. WM Valeria Gansvind was from Moscow and our own master Harry Moore and also Howard Wu made this a stronger tournament. Harry went on to register a win over Valeria but he had a hard fought game with Jessie Beaudin. First was Harry Moore, Second was Valeria Gansvind. Phil Harris from Vancouver won the top under 2000 prize and tied for the first under 1800 was Kyle Sexsmith, Evan Raymer and Jesse Beaudin. Five juniors played and put up a strong fight. Evan won the top Junior prize.

The tournament is open to any player rated above 2200 at the time of entry, but each Province may also designate three entrants who are rated below 2200. It has been decided by the B.C.C.F. that B.C.'s designated spots should go to 1) Lucas Davies (the highest-rated eligible junior below 2200) 2) the highest finishing U2200 B.C. player in the Keres Memorial Open Section who wishes to attend, and 3) the highest finishing U2200 B.C. player in the Western Canadian Open who wishes to attend. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALCAN ANNIVERSARY TOURNAMENT by Mike Bateman Alcan has asked me to organize a chess tournament for their 50th anniversary celebration here in Kitimat, on the 31st of July. It will be a 15 minutes per game per side, clocked event with 5 rounds. It will start at 13:00 hours, (1 in the afternoon) and go till 17:00 hours (or 5 in the afternoon). It will be held in the main ceremonies tent at the Riverlodge Rec Center. This is not a rated event because it is open to all persons partaking in the Alcan celebrations. I will be purchasing 10 new sets and 10 new clocks which I hope to be using as prizes. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. This is a free event. mbateman@telus.net -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TD'S CORNER Two somewhat unclear areas of the rules this time round, which players and TDs alike should at least be aware of: Cell Phones This problem came into prominence last October, when FIDE world champion Ruslan Ponomariov received an automatic disqualification at the European team championship in Bulgaria when his cell phone rang during play. A ringing phone is disturbing enough on its own, but in these days of strong chess-playing computer programs there is the added concern that specific information about a game in progress can be communicated via cell phone. FIDE have instituted a zero-tolerance approach to cell phone use, as noted in the Report of the Rules and Tournament Regulations Committee, 74th FIDE Congress, 29 October 2003: "6. Mobile phones after extensive discussions again, it was agreed: If a player s mobile phone rings in the playing venue, then this player shall lose the game. The arbiter shall ensure that all the players are informed in advance of this rule." However, this is not part of the Laws of Chess but is included in the FIDE Tournament Rules. These are the regulations applicable to official FIDE competitions and are to be used in conjunction with the Laws of Chess. For a non-FIDE competition, the organizer/TD is free to use whatever rules he/she feels appropriate concerning cell phones, but the important factor is that the players should be advised IN ADVANCE of what those rules are. [Personally I would impose a time penalty or strict warning for a first offence, but there are many gray areas here: how does one treat vibrating phones, for example, or phones in the hands of spectators? Top arbiter Geurt Gijssen has acknowledged that further clarification is needed in the regulations to cover these points.] Blumenfeld's Rule The same Geurt Gijssen has also acknowledged than another article needs to be clarified: "12.2 During play the players are forbidden to make use of any notes, sources of information, advice, or to analyse on another chessboard. The scoresheet shall be used only for recording the moves, the times of the clocks, the offer of a draw, and matters relating to a claim." This seems straightforward enough, except when Blumenfeld's Rule is considered. This is the habit, practiced and recommended by a number of players, of writing one's move down before executing it on the board, so as to quickly glance around the board to make sure the move is not a blunder. Taken literally, this could be interpreted as making notes; at the very least the writing of the move constitutes a memory aid, particularly if the player spends more time analyzing or subsequently changes the move. Gijssen is of the opinion that "recording" implies to set down in writing something that has already happened, rather than a potential future event, but also acknowledges that the article is unclear and needs revising. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIRTY YEARS AGO by Bruce Harper Thirty years ago there wasn't much happening in B.C. chess, other than the collapse of the 1974 B.C. Championship, of which the less said the better. So for this column, I have leapt ahead to June, 1974, when Glenn Morin won the B.C. Junior Championship, with Jeff Reeve and Laird Swanson tying for second. When and where this year's B.C. Junior will be held is still up in the air, as our juniors carry on the B.C. tradition of disputation. Today's game also features a somewhat topical opening - the Closed Sicilian. Morin,G - Pascuzzi,T [B25] BC jun Vancouver, 06.1974 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 d6 3.g3 g6 4.Bg2 Bg7 5.Nf3 Whatever else I may have taught Glenn, I don't think I taught him this! I prefer either 5.d3 and 6.Be3 (a line which was often played in Vancouver in the 1960s and 1970s, and is currently popular as a result of its "discovery" by some top English players) or 5.f4 (which Lucas Davies used to play when he was a kid). 5...Nc6 6.d3 e6 7.Be3 Rb8 8.0-0 b5 Black's moves look sensible in isolation, but if you step back it's clear Black's way behind in development and that if the position opens up he might get in trouble. Black has also forgotten about the most important positional idea in the Closed Sicilian - control d4. 9.d4!? b4 10.Ne2 Nf6 10...Ba6 is better. 11.dxc5! Nxe4 12.Nd2 Not bad, but White underestimates his position. 12.Nfd4! was crushing, as White ends up forking Black's queen and rook with Nc6. 12...d5 13.Nxe4 dxe4 14.Bxe4 Bb7 15.c3!? bxc3 16.Qa4 Qc7 17.Nd4 White is trying to wipe his opponent off the board, but now Black could throw in 17...cxb2, then play 18...Bxd4, after which he would be only slightly worse. 17...Bxd4?! 18.Bxd4 0-0? Why not 18...cxb2? 19.Bxc3 The dust has settled and White has an extra pawn and strong attacking chances along the a1-h8 diagonal. 19...Rfc8 20.Rad1 Ne5 21.f4?! Ng4? Missing his last chance - 21...Qxc5+ 22.Bd4 Qc4. 22.h3 Bxe4 23.Qxe4 Nh6 24.b4 Qc6 25.Qe5 f6 26.Qxf6 Rb7 27.Rd6 1-0 Ouch! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1919 B.C. CHAMPIONSHIP "As briefly mentioned last month, the B.C. Championship will be held in North Vancouver, under the auspices of the B.C. Chess Federation, on 18th, 19th, and 21st April. The entry fee for the Major Tournament is $3.00, and for the Minor $1.00. The hours of play are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., with a recess from 2 to 6 p.m. The time limit is sixteen moves per hour. The prizes are a gold medal and custody for one year of the Bowser Shield for the winner of the Major Tournament; and for the winner of the Minor Tournament a silver medal. Entries, which it is hoped will be numerous, must be in the hands of the Secretary, B.C. Chess Federation, 213 Hastings Street East, Vancouver, by 11th April." [B.C. Chess Magazine, March 1919] "This issue has been withheld to include the results of the B.C. Chess Championship, a tournament or congress to decide which, is arranged for annually by the B.C. Chess Federation. This year the Congress was held in North Vancouver, and all the arrangements were in the hands of the club there. Much credit is due to the North Vancouver Club for the excellent programme they prepared and for the way in which they carried it through. At the end of the first session, on Good Friday, the lady friends of the club provided a delightful luncheon, and we have been asked to specially thank on behalf of the players and visitors, Mrs. Ewing, Mrs. Jenkins, Mrs. Melville, Miss Bull, and Mrs. MacLachlan. After lunch the annual meeting of the Federation took place. The following gentlemen were elected to office for the ensuing year: President, Mr. B.A. Yates, Vancouver. Vice-presidents, Mr. Gibson, Victoria; Mr. Melhuish, B.C. Electric. Members of council, Mr. Meyer, Victoria; Mr. Woodthorpe, Vancouver; Mr. Ewing, North Vancouver, and Mr. Hall, B.C. Electric. Hon. secretary-treasurer, Mr. H. Martyn Jenkins, 827 Sutherland Avenue, North Vancouver. It was arranged that the Victoria Club should have first offer of holding the Championship there next year. On Saturday afternoon proceedings were enlivened by a lightning tournament, open to all, and won by Mr. C.F. Millar, of the Vancouver Club.
Mr. John M. Ewing The Championship play resulted in some excellent chess. We are alarmed at the forlorn aspect of Mr. R.G. Stark, of the Games Department, who spends his days - and, rumour has it, his nights also - "a-sighin' and a-sobbin'," to think that he cannot publish them all. Mr. J.M. Ewing, our editor, is to be most heartily congratulated, not only on winning the championship, but more especially on the quality of his chess, which fully merited that honour. The following are the scores:" Ewing +3 =2 -0 4 Jenkins +2 =1 -2 2.5 Yates +2 =0 -2 2 Stark +1 =1 -3 1.5 Minor Championship Delaney +3 =0 -1 3 Lawrenson +2 =0 -2 2 Buckley +2 =0 -2 2 McMahon +2 =0 -2 2 Bull +1 =0 -3 1 Yates,B - Ewing,J BC ch North Vancouver, 04.1919
