Hobsons Bay Cup round 3

After 2 rounds, only 5 players have a perfect score, and 4 of them they played each other this week. The results are below. Nathan’s position against Dean looked like swiss cheese after only a few moves, and it went downhill after that. My game against Tony did see-saw a bit, but I was a piece ahead but then carelessly lost my pawns under time pressure, and it was then R+B vs R and 2Ps and so a draw was a fitting result.

Our 7-round (7 night) event started last Tuesday and most games went according to rating. The last game to finish was Rory vs Tony and this did not disappoint. When I caught up with it, each player had R+3P that were locked in the middle of the board. It did look drawish at that stage. Tony went on to win! Perhaps someone can comment on how? The round 1 results are below.

Purdy Cup – final results

Below are the round 5 results and final standings for the Purdy Cup.
Well done to Tony Davis for taking out the event with a perfect score, and in doing so, has qualified directly for the club championship. I have also updated the Progress scores as well. My apologises for missing the last 2 rounds of this event, but family matters trumped chess (who would have thought!), so I did not get to post the round 4 results. Also, well done to Rory Wootten for coming equal second – his ACF rating should zoom up a few notches.
Next week will be the first of our Allegro tournaments (5 games of 10 minutes + 10 seconds a move), using the Najdorf Sicilian as our starting position. I did not choose this opening, but I have to admit that I have a long-forgotten pre-algebraic notation book on this opening – all hail to Bobby Fischer! So if you are curious about the club, next Tuesday will be a good time to come along and check us out.
