The PEEL CHESS CLUB hosted another William F. Darch Memorial
and as a twist we also invited 4 players each from SWOCL and GTCL to compete in a Team Match.
Jaime Solis was the return champion to win this year's event 5 out of 6
Sam Sharpe and John Erickson Tied for second - third with 4.5 of 6
CFC President Robert Gillanders played many games under time pressure
and was able to win his last game to tie 4th- 5th with Ali Syed.
Alan Hutchinson Claimed 6th place.
Ted Termeer had very exciting games but was just not able to convert advantages into wins. He claimed 7th Place.
Richard Marks a player new to the PEEL INVITATIONALS unfortunately
had to leave early due to illness. He got 8th Prize.
John R. Brown filled in with byes as Sam Sharpe was playing in both the Team Match and the William F. Darch Memorial VII.
The SWOCL vs GTCL Team Match ended in a tie 4-4.
The SWOCL Team led the match in the fIrst half but as Mike Dougherty said GTCL starts slow. They were able to close the gap and the last game to finish between Alex Ferreira and Keith Wight was a tension builder as Keith had beaten Alex In the First Half. SWOCL only needed a draw. But under the complications Keith blundered sealing the tie result.
Michael Dougherty played Hans Jung to a 1.5 -.5 result
Mikhail Egorov played sharp exciting Chess against Erwin Casareno Finishing 1.5-.5
Ian Finlay and Sam Sharpe played two drawn games. 1-1
Alex Ferreira and Keith wight ended 1-1
Saturday night the bulk of the players finished off two crock pots of chili
and 5 stayed overnight to compete in a dart tournament and cribbage match.
Next year's event may move to a new location so we can get more players.
All had a Great time .
