Zulfikar Sali Sweeps 2018 Jack Taylor Memorial

Submitted by Paul Leblanc

 

 Victoria master Zulfikar Sali swept to victory with a perfect score in the 33rd annual Jack Taylor Memorial Chess Tournament, held 26-28 October in the Topaz Room of the Victoria Comfort Inn and Suites.

 

Zulfikar is no newcomer to chess but his development as a chess master has had to compete with family and career.  He started competitive chess in the Philippines as a junior in the mid-1990s and won a regional championship there before moving to the United Kingdom (his current FIDE flag) where he was Norwich, Norfolk champion in 2001-2002 while he worked as an emergency nurse.   In 2009 he moved to Canada, again working as an emergency nurse in Edmonton then Prince George.  In 2015 he started his current employment as an emergency RN at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria.  With his 5-0 performance in the Jack Taylor Memorial he is now rated among the top ten players in BC.

 

 

Last round of the 2018 Jack Taylor Memorial.  Zulfikar Sali vs Brian McLaren and Dr. Ian Cordon vs IM Ray Kaufman

  

IM Ray Kaufman and Duncan Haines tied for 2nd at 4-1.  Ray, an American, is no stranger to BC chess, this being his 30th CFC rated event.  He shared the good news that he has just married and taken up residence in Vancouver.  Duncan’s success continues his steady upward progress since returning to chess in 2012 and he makes it to expert level with this result.

 

Top U1800 was Philip Harris, a stalwart of BC chess for the past 30 years.

 

In the U1600 section, Isaac Trenton also scored a perfect 5-0.  Isaac is a Grade 9 student at École Alpha Secondary School in Burnaby.  He is being coached by Curtis Lister and enjoys chess because it is a game of strategy over chance.  His next chess goal is to play in a FIDE rated tournament.

 

Isaac Trenton vs Andrey Kozlov in their decisive last-round encounter

 

Top U1300 was captured by Bernie Stanley with 4-1.  He is a relative newcomer to tournament chess and a regular player at the Victoria Chess Club.

 

This year’s event attracted 67 players, one fewer than last year’s all-time record.

 

The family of former BC Champion Jack Taylor have been generous patrons of this tournament for several years.  Several members of the Taylor family were introduced to the players on Saturday and received an enthusiastic round of applause.  They were particularly delighted to meet Duncan Haines who played Taylor in his last tournament in Vancouver in 1974.

 

The tournament was organized and directed by Roger Patterson, president of the Victoria Chess Club.
