Report on the Queensland Junior Championships by International Arbiter Charles Zworestine

 

It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over…

 

Chess is a funny game… Just when you think you have a won position and it’s all wrapped up, an unexpected resource from your opponent can throw your whole game out of kilter. Suddenly your opponent is back in the game, and you have to fight. Such fightbacks, if not anticipated, can have a devastating psychological effect; unwary players often collapse in a screaming heap as a result. The best players know how to fight in any position, never take anything for granted, and play the position on the board in front of them, rather than dwelling on the history of the game; but this can sometimes be an incredibly hard thing to do…

 

And the same is true of your overall tournament position. Sitting on a lead and drawing games is never such a good thing, especially when you are playing people you would normally expect to beat. A half point lead is obviously precarious; even a full point with two rounds to go is not safe. But you would probably think that with a one and a half point lead going into the final two rounds, you have the tournament wrapped up. Well, we’ll see…

 

The potential was always there for strange things to happen in the main event (Under 18/16/14) at this year’s Queensland Junior Championships. For starters, the field had only 13 players paired in an 8 round Swiss – the pairings alone were always likely to randomise things, especially in the last couple of rounds. So few players was a bit disappointing, particularly when compared to last year’s 26 (admittedly bolstered by a few interstate visitors in the then NECG squad). But the time controls of one hour plus 30 seconds per move from the start gave all the players time to think. While this should make the better players even more dominant, we are talking about juniors, so we do not know how good they really are: players making unexpected leaps, with time to think, produce unexpected results…

 

Not so much on Day 1, where the top seeds all won their first game – although second seed Daniel Anderson was made to work very hard by Jessica Kinder in the best game of Round 1. Daniel also handled Howard Chuang in Round 2, while top seed Casey Barnard motored on with a win over Luthien Russell. Third seed Alex Jule beat Reegan Milne, who was obviously worn out by the practise games I gave him while he had the first round bye! At this stage I thought being arbiter at the Queensland Juniors was an easy gig – what were they paying me for? I was about to find out, as the little ones arrived next day…

 

Yes, I really earned my money on Days 2, 3 and 4! Day 2 saw the Under 8s arrive: only 12 of them, so we let them play a round robin. Good thing they move so fast! As a result, we were easily able to get in the 11 games per player in the allotted time. Top seed Daniel Arase was always likely to win, but he had an accident fairly early on when he lost to the deliberate, slow moving and rapidly improving Ulani Powell. Ulani was just about the only one of the young ones using her time wisely – but unfortunately she tired and faded as a result. Daniel recovered to beat all his main rivals and finish outright first on 10/11, despite moving faster than he needed to at times; Brody Seignior was second on 9, followed by Kiwa Lang, Laurence Bristow and Martin Jack in equal third on 7 points (a point ahead of Ulani on 6).

 

While all this was happening, the “main event” was still going on – and Casey got to 4/4! He won what we all thought was the critical game over Daniel Anderson in Round 3; after always retaining a slight advantage as White, Casey developed a crushing attack and won material, after which Daniel should have resigned far sooner than he did (see game below). Alex meanwhile drew with Luthien in an all girls battle, little Luthien’s best result for the event. But Alex could not stop Casey in Round 4, and we all thought he had it wrapped up; especially as Daniel only drew with Dominic Olm-Milligan, and Jessica began a bad habit of not winning won positions when she could only draw from a position of strength with Howard Chuang…

 

Barnard, C (1898) - Anderson, D (1733) [A45] 2005 Queensland Juniors U18/16/14 22/06/05

1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3 g6 3.e4 Bg7 4.Be3 c6 5.Be2 d5 6.e5 Nfd7 7.Nf3 b5 8.Bd3 Nb6 9.b3 a5 10.a4 b4 11.Ne2 Ba6 12.Qd2 h6 13.e6 fxe6 14.Bxg6+ Kd7 15.Nf4 Rf8 16.Bh5 Bc8 17.Bg4 Kc7 18.Bxe6 Kb7 19.Bxc8+ Qxc8 20.Nd3 N8d7 21.0–0–0 Rh8 22.Rhe1 Qf8 23.Bf4 c5 24.Nde5 Qe8 25.Nxd7 Nxd7 26.dxc5 e6 27.c6+ Kxc6 28.Nd4+ Bxd4 29.Qxd4 Nb6 30.Re3 Qg6 31.Rde1 Rhe8 32.Rg3 Qf5 33.Re5 Qh7 34.Rh5 Rac8 35.Rg7 Qe4 36.Qxe4 dxe4 37.Re5 Nd5 38.Rxe4 Nc3 39.Rc4+ Kb6 40.Be3+ Rc5 41.Bxc5+ Kc6 42.Bxb4+ Kd5 43.Bxc3 e5 44.Bxa5 e4 45.Rg6 e3 46.fxe3 Rxe3 47.Rxh6 Re5 48.Rb4 Re1+ 49.Kd2 Rf1 50.Rb5+ Ke4 51.Rh4+ Rf4 52.Rb4+ Ke5 53.Rhxf4 Ke6 54.Rb5 Ke7 55.Rh4 Kf6 56.Rh6+ Kg7 57.Ra6 Kg8 58.Rb7 1–0

 

Day 3 came, and so did the Under 12s and the Under 10s! Boy, did they keep me busy… Gene Nakauchi, favourite in the Under 10s (a 31 player 8 round Swiss), duly won with 8/8, despite at one point being in a dead lost game because he (like all the others!) moved too fast. His opponent in this game eventually also moved too fast, and turned his win into a loss… Lachlan Van den Bergh came equal second with Kevin Zhu on 6/8. While Gene and Lachlan and Kevin are all promising players, I must say the standard in this event was a bit disappointing. The Under 12s were more impressive; they played very exciting chess! The following game was typical:

 

McGarity, Liam (1091) - Lei, Yitao (1436) [C24] 2005 Queensland Juniors U12, 23/06/05

1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.Qxd4 Nf6 6.Bg5 Nc6 7.Qh4 Be7 8.Nc3 d6 9.0–0–0 Bf5 10.Rhe1 0–0 11.h3 h6 12.Bxh6 gxh6 13.Qxh6 Nh7 14.g4 Bg6 15.Qxg6+ Kh8 16.Qh5 Bf6 17.Bd3 Bg5+ 18.Nxg5 Qxg5+ 19.Qxg5 Nxg5 20.f4 Ne6 21.Nd5 Rac8 22.f5 Ng7 23.Nf4 Ne5 24.Be4 b6 25.Nd3 Nxd3+ 26.Rxd3 Rfe8 27.Rde3 Re5 28.Bd3 Rce8 29.Rxe5 Rxe5 30.Rxe5 dxe5 31.h4 f6 32.Bb5 Kh7 33.Kd2 Kh6 34.Ke3 a6 35.Bc6 Kh7 36.b4 Kg8 37.a4 a5 38.b5 Kh7 39.Ke4 Kh6 40.Bd7 Kh7 41.g5 Nh5 42.g6+ Kg7 43.Kd5 Nf4+ 44.Kc6 e4 45.Be6 Nd3 46.cxd3 e3 47.Kxc7 e2 48.Kxb6 e1Q 49.Ka6 Qb4 50.b6 Qxa4 51.Ka7 Qxh4 52.b7 Qd4+ 53.Ka8 Qxd3 54.b8Q Qa6+ 55.Qa7+ Qxa7+ 56.Kxa7 a4 57.Kb6 a3 58.Kb5 a2 59.Bxa2 Kh8 60.Kc6 Kg7 61.Kd7 Kf8 62.Bb1 Kg8 63.Ke7 Kg7 64.Bc2 Kh8 65.Ba4 Kg7 66.Bb5 Kg8 67.Kxf6 Kh8 68.g7+ Kh7 69.Kf7 Kh6 70.g8Q Kh5 71.Be2+ Kh4 72.Qg4# 1–0

 

Long and topsy-turvy! Liam’s Bxh6 sac on move 13 was probably unsound - but when Yitao blundered back the piece on move 14, he was dead lost! That Liam let him back in with his passed e pawn and a neat trick on move 45 was miraculous enough; but then Liam was able to win with bishop and pawns against queen, even more miraculous… Anyway, in a thrilling event, neither of these two ended up victorious. Amid lots of upsets and lots of exciting chess, top seed Kelvin Finke, despite 4 draws, finished equal first with Yitao on 6/8, and won the event on countback. The closeness of this event was indicated by the rest of the field, in a 17 player 8 round Swiss: 6 players on 5/8, then another 5 on 4/8, 2 on 3/8 and 2 on 2/8. Only four points between first and last, and 6 players equal third – too many for me to name here…

 

For most of Day 3, this was taking up more of my attention than the big boys (and girls), as I really believed not much could go wrong for Casey Barnard there. Jessica Kinder disagreed, as she turned another win into a draw against him in Round 5. I should have known he was not playing so well anymore when he self-trapped his knight on Move 18; then poor Jessica, after some to and fro attacking, missed a winning knight fork on Move 30 and settled for a draw instead (see game below)… But Casey then beat Reegan; and with Daniel drawing with Alex, it looked all over. Surely a 1.5 point lead going in to the last two rounds was enough…

 

Barnard, C (1898) - Kinder, J (1218) [B35] 2005 Queensland Juniors U18/16/14, 23/06/05

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 g6 5.Be3 Bg7 6.Nc3 Nf6 7.Bc4 0–0 8.Nb3 d6 9.f3 Ne5 10.Be2 Be6 11.Qd2 Bc4 12.0–0–0 Bxb3 13.axb3 Qa5 14.Kb1 Nc6 15.g4 Rfc8 16.h4 Nb4 17.Bd4 Rc6 18.Qe3 e5 19.Bxe5 dxe5 20.Bc4 b5 21.Nxb5 Qa2+ 22.Kc1 Qa1+ 23.Kd2 Rd8+ 24.Ke2 Rxd1 25.Rxd1 Qxb2 26.Rd8+ Bf8 27.Qxa7 Rxc4 28.bxc4 Qxc2+ 29.Ke3 Qxc4 30.Qe7 Qd3+ 31.Kf2 Qd2+ 32.Kg3 ½–½

 

Never take such things for granted! Daniel did his bit – he won his last two games. Alex ruled herself out with a draw with Howard Chuang. Casey played safe, drawing with Dominic Olm-Milligan in Round 7. A point ahead with a round to go – a draw was good enough. You would think when Howard offered it to him, he would take it! But no: he was White in a Sicilian, where they had castled opposite sides… So he declined, let Howard make the standard Rxc3 sac and develop a strong attack, and thereafter… Casey blundered his queen! His only loss, and Daniel was equal first with him.

 

The play-off was eventually won by Casey. He lost the first game with the white pieces, but won the second with black. The lightning play-off also finished 1-1, and Casey finally defeated Daniel with white in the 5 minute v 4 minute decider (black only needing a draw). Casey was lucky! But then again, so was Daniel to be in a playoff in the first place.

 

Nell Van De Graaff Classic Sat/Sun 10/11 September $2,500 in Prizes

Venue: Somerset College Sports Pavilion

 

Wendy and I were invited to Nell's 90th birthday party which was held on Sunday 31 July at the Glades Golf Club, Mudgeeraba. It was a wonderful event, with 40 of Nell's 44 descendants present. There were several moving tributes to Nell, whose positive attitude to life is most inspiring. For those of you who have read Nell's book 'We Survived' you will know what I mean. Nell is pictured alongside Catherine Wright below.

 

Nell is possibly Australia's oldest tournament chess player, and once again we will be getting together for the Nell Van De Graaff Classic, formerly the Gold Coast Classic.

 

The tournament is also popular because not only is it an Australian Grand Prix Category 3 event, but it also doubles as Queensland's favourite teams event. Players put themselves into teams of four, which may include individuals of any standard or rating, providing the average rating of the team does not exceed 1400.

• Sat 10 Sept - Rounds at 9.30am, approx 12 noon, approx 2.30pm and approx 5pm.
• Sun 11 Sept - Rounds at 9am, approx 11.30am and approx 2pm
• Entry Fees: Seniors $55, Pensioners $45 Juniors $35 (non CAQ members add $10) Late fee on the day $10
• Prizes: Open 1st $700, 2nd $400, 3rd $200 + 5 ratings group prizes of $100 each (Rating group 5 is kindly sponsored by Outreach Chess) Teams: 1st $400 ($100 each) 2nd $200 ($50 each) 3rd $100 ($25 each)

Wendy Terry Memorial Tournament - Sat/Sun 29/30 October

 

The Redcliffe Chess Club have renamed the Redcliffe Challenge in honour of Wendy Terry who died recently (reported in recent issue). At this early stage I can report that it will be held at Grace Lutheran College, Redcliffe. It will be a Grand Prix event as usual,  the first prize will be $600 and the under 1600 prize will be $300. The date has been changed from 15/16 October due to a school fete on at Grace Lutheran College.

 

September School Holiday Chess Camps - 19-21 & 23 September

 

Our popular school holiday chess camps will be held as usual in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast. Kids receive a mixture of chess coaching, chess activities, tournament chess and some break-time non-chess activities.

 

The Gold Coast Camp is held at the Gardiner Chess Centre at 11 Hardys Road Mudgeeraba and the Brisbane Camp is held at the Marymac Centre, 616 Ipswich Road Annerley. Both camps run from 9am to 5pm daily.

 

Broadbeach Mall Junior Tournament - Thursday 22 September

 

This popular event which usually attracts around 150 players, has been running for 10 years. It has been won by Max Leskiewicz, Charles Pizzato, David Smerdon, Phachara Wongwichit, Arianne Caoili and Moulthun Ly, amongst others. Max, Charles, David and Moulthun are former Australian Junior champions, whilst Phachara is twice Queensland Junior Champion and Arianne has represented both the Philippines and Australia at Chess Olympiads. The $200 first prize ensures that there is strong competition for first place, and ten rating group prizes of $30 each ensures that everyone is in a position to win a prize if they play well.

 

The event runs from 9.15am to 5pm under the sails in Broadbeach Mall, and the entry fee is $10.

 

Incidentally, the last shopping centre event was held on the day of the big Gold Coast rains, Thurs 30 June at Runaway Bay Shopping Village. Flood waters were rising early in the morning around the chess centre, so I postponed the coaches' seminar. Meanwhile Remi Broadway, in charge of the tournament for the day, left very early for Runaway Bay, and listened to local weather reports to guide himself around the floods.  If he'd left any later he wouldn't have been able to get beyond his front gate. The shopping centre manager said that she wanted to go ahead even if there were only 10 entrants. Amazingly 43 kids turned up, the event was held and won by Casey Barnard, who travelled down from Redcliffe oblivious of the local flooding. Coincidentally, there was a problem with flooding 2 years ago at the Broadbeach event towards the end of the tournament when there was torrential rain. Let's hope this event isn't the third shopping centre chess flood!

 

Australian Championships and Australian Junior Championships, 28 Dec 2005 to 9 Jan 2006

 

Anticipation is growing!

 

The Australian Championship, with a history dating back to 1885, is the most important event on the Australian chess calendar. This year it is being combined with the Australian Junior Championships, with the juniors starting at 9am daily, and the adults at 3pm. The organising committee is Ian Murray, John Humphrey and Graeme Gardiner. The venue for the event is the five star Carlton Crest in Brisbane. It will be the first time that the Australian Championships have been held in Brisbane since 1967. The Australian Juniors were last held in Brisbane in 1989.

 

This is a rare opportunity to bring together the entire adult and junior chess communities of Australia and we aim to make it one of the best chess events held in this country. We appeal strongly to the Brisbane and Queensland chess communities to get right behind the event. Please particularly be aware that neither the Australian Championships nor the Australian Junior Championships is restricted to élite players, and both events cater for players of all standards. Part of the fun is to be in the company of the top players, and simply to enjoy the atmosphere of top class chess. But we emphasise that adults and juniors of all standards can participate.

 

One of the aims of the organisers is for the event to be a unifying force in Queensland chess. We would like to do everything we can, and we hope you will try and do the same; that is to unite the current regular tournament chess players, both adults and juniors, with those who for one reason or another we haven't seen for some time.

 

So please plan your Christmas holidays around participating in the Australian Championships. For those who cannot commit themselves to 13 days of chess, the Australian Minor runs from 3 to 9 January. There is also an Australian Veterans Championship.

 

Junior age groups are under 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 (boys and girls).

 

Full details are available at www.ozchess2006.com This webpage includes an online entry form and the ability to enter and pay securely online. Ian Murray has done most of the work involved in putting up such a comprehensive webpage, with considerable input from Wendy Gardiner and Jonathan Paxman.

 

In the next couple of days we will be doing a mailout of hard copy entry forms to regular tournament chess players in Queensland. If you do not receive one, and you would like to do so, please email me on ggardiner@gardinerchess.com.

 

Oh, and by the way, if for any reason you don't want to play in the event, but would like to be part of the organisation, we are looking for up to six chess players to enter games from scoresheets into Chessbase each day, so that we can have all games up on the webpage late in the day. This work might suit uni students. We need to be sure that we have people to do this work, so whilst it would be nice to have volunteers, we are able to pay a modest fee for those who can commit themselves to the duration of the event. We anticipate working in 2 x 4 hour shifts each day of the tournament (probably 10am to 2pm, and 4.30-8.30pm). My colleague Ian Murray has organised a 6 computer LAN in the tournament administration room, so there should be good working conditions.

 

Confirmed entries so far for the Australian Championship event include: Grandmasters Lubomir Ftacnik (Slovakia), Murray Chandler (England), Roland Schmaltz (Germany), Ian Rogers (Australia) and Darryl Johansen (Australia). Also International Masters Gary Lane (Australia - reigning champion), Alexander Wohl (Australia) and Stephen Solomon (Australia) as well as our pocket rocket Moulthun Ly (aged 13, reigning Australian Junior Champion).

 

We very much hope to see you there.

 

And for those extra keen chess enthusiasts, three days later.....

Chess Coaches Required

 

Gardiner Chess is constantly trying to fill demand for chess coaches in schools in South East Queensland. Many of our coaches like to teach at just a couple of schools per week. Others do more. We provide thorough training, orientation and ongoing support.  In some areas we are short of coaches. If you are interested in joining our ranks, please contact Graeme Gardiner on 5522 7221 or ggardiner@gardinerchess.com.

 

World Youth Championship 2005

 

Moulthun Ly with 7/11 was Australia's best performer at the World Youth Championship. His defeats were at the hands of players rated around 2350-2400, so it was pretty tough, especially when you consider that most of these kids were probably on a rapid improvement curve themselves. Luthien Russell ended up on 4.5, and Molly McGarity on 4.

To me it is particularly noticeable when you look down the standings of any age group at the world juniors, that there are very, very few Anglo-Saxon names. It just shows what a truly world sport that chess is. Chess has more member nations of the world body FIDE (163) than any other sport bar soccer. Many of the high profile media sports in which Australia excels are dominated at world level by western nations, but chess is a sport that has a deeply ingrained culture in many third-world countries, especially in Asia. I believe that the relative level of competition in chess around the world would make it much harder for Australians to excel than in sports like rugby, cricket and hockey.

 

Ruth Coxhill Memorial FIDE Rated Tournament

 

This is a 10 player round-robin tournament which is being held on 9 Wednesday evenings finishing on 14 September. Games commence at 6.30pm, and I will endeavour to have one game live to the internet each week www.gardinerchess.com (live chess).

 

The players are Matt Sonter 2189, Peter Cafolla 2116, David Lovejoy 2044, Hamish Selnes 1952, David Richards 1949, Oleg Korenevski, Peter Radovan, Alexandra Jule, Sam Grigg and Yitao Lei.

 

After three rounds, there have already been upsets with Peter Radovan defeating Matt Sonter, and Yitao Lei drawing with Peter Cafolla and defeating David Richards. Full results at our webpage www.gardinerchess.com

 

Gold Coast Junior Masters

 

The junior masters is having a very big effect on the playing level of Gold Coast juniors. At the recent Queensland Junior Championship, all the age groups up to under 14 were dominated by kids who have been playing regularly in the junior masters competition. The under 8s was won by Daniel Arase, and Gene Nakauchi winning the under 10s. The under 12s was deservedly won by Kelvin Finke, playing fighting chess, who does not play in the junior masters, but his four draws from eight games were all against lower rated kids who play regularly in the junior masters. Yitao Lei, Sebastian Jule, Liam McGarity, Sam Grigg, Molly McGarity and Brendan Baker, who all play in the junior masters, came second to seventh. Jessica Kinder won the under 14s.

 

So for juniors rated QJ 800+, the championship length junior masters format with after-game analysis is highly recommended.

 

The current junior masters is running for 8 Mondays, finishing on 5 September. After three rounds Daniel Barrett and Gene Nakauchi lead on 3/3. Full results at our webpage www.gardinerchess.com We will endeavour to have one live game on the internet each Monday evening from 5.15pm at www.gardinerchess.com (live chess).
