2009 Jack Taylor Memorial

Page history last edited by roger patterson 14 years, 4 months ago

The 24th Annual Jack Taylor Memorial Chess Tournament

 

A 5 round Swiss Nov. 21-22, 2009

 

23 people attended the 24th annual Jack Taylor - a 15% increase over the last few years and near the record high attendence for this tournament of 24.   This was despite the tournament not being CFC rated.  The tournament benefited from several Vancouver players desparately searching for some action plus a visitor from Washington and another from Germany.

 

Howard Wu won his 2nd in a row Jack Taylor Memorial with 4 wins and 1 bye  for 4.5 points worth $75.   He managed to bypass the other likely contenders who all self destructed in one way or another.

 

Tied for Top  U1800 were Joe Roback from Vancouver, Jason Cao (who missed an 11th hour draw against Valeria Gansvind), and Ken Foreman:  all with 3 points worth $17 each.

 

Thanks to our TD Mark S. Dutton, IA and all those who participated.

As regards this tournament not being CFC rated: This tournament is intended to be a low cost entry point for new players (entry fee of $25).   The current CFC membership fee structure is not compatible with that goal, effectively doubling the cost of the entry fee for new players.  Of the 23 players, only 11 were current CFC members,  7 were expired members, and 5 have never been a CFC member.   I know of 2 people who did not play because it was not CFC rated and I know of 3-4 who would not have played had it been CFC rated.
