26th Annual Jack Taylor Memorial:
20 players turned up for this version of the Jack Taylor Memorial, the 26th annual. This year the format was that CFC membership was not required but games between CFC members would be rated. 9 of the players, or nearly half, were not CFC members. All games were rated by the Victoria Chess Club rating system.
Heading the field for 1st place were Ray Wu, one of the local juniors and James Chan from Vancouver. Fortune was smiling on Ray though as he managed to hold a draw in a difficult endgame against the top rated Roger Patterson and drew James Chan as James decided to catch the early ferry rather than play on in a winning position.
There was a 4 way tie for the U1800 prize between Ken Forman, Deron Stewart, and relative newcomers from Vancouver Constantin Rotariu and Mihai Ganea.
James Chan, Deron Stewart, Constantin Rotariu, and Mihai Ganea donated their prize money to Victoria Chess. Many thanks!
Organizer: Roger Patterson
TD: Mark S. Dutton, IA
