  • Saturday Blitz results

    Very favourable reviews to our first event at the new site - Mom's Cafe 1096 Danforth (1 block east of the Donlands subway station). Lots of room, lots of light, friendly staff! Also strong field as the Russians arrived en masse.

    1st: Leonid Gerzhoy 11 - 3
    2nd Bator Sambuev 10 - 4
    3rd (tie): Andrei Gulko, Yakov Vaingorten 9 1/2 each
    B Class: John Chidley-Hill 2 1/2
    Also played: Dave Southam, Brian Fiedler 6 points each
    Hugh McNeil 1 1/2 points (his 1 was against Sambuev in round 1:))

    Also, the Cafe manager took lots of pics of the players in action which I will try to post here when he emails them to me.

        Well done Hugh for taking a point off Grandmaster Bator. Was he busy choking his bishop? :D

            Well, after 20 minutes of fumbling and stumbling, I got a picture posted (Brian F is on the left). All the pics came out dark but hopefully we'll get some better ones this Saturday at which point I'll give it another go.

              I think your pictures are dark because they had back lighting coming from the sun out side shining in. On solution is a flash. If you can't change the opening on the camera then I think all will be dark without a flash.

                Had I taken the pics they would have been properly exposed. I'm arranging for another camera this Saturday which should yield a good crop of pics.
                In reference to another thread just below, we will be facilitating outdoor chess at the Cafe. Just today the proprietor erected a patio umbrella, which I supplied, courtesy of the Seanachai Pub's owner. The next crop of photos should display the result.:)

                  Sambuev (left) vs Gerzhoy with Dave Southam watching. Angrei Gulko barely visible over Gezhoy's shoulder.
