Event Report:

 

The 49th Canadian Open Chess Championship took place in Victoria BC, July 8-13, 2012.  It's over now, and we know now that 154 players took part from 7 different countries and from across the US and Canada with Canadian co-champion IM Eric Hansen ultimately taking home clear first place.  But how did we get here?  From various remarks made to us or on Chess Talk, it seems that not everyone understands how it is that the Canadian Open winds up in one city and not another, why some have larger prize funds than others, why some have more (and better known) GMs, or why some have  sections and some don't.

 

Our journey began in the fall of 2009.  The CFC executive was concerned  about not having a bid for the 2011 Open and were quietly going around trying to twist arms and encourage a bid from somebody, somewhere.  Ensuring that there is a bid is a perennial problem for the CFC and it is something of a miracle that the event has been held every year for so many years.  .  Ask not what the CFC can do for you but what you can do for the CFC.....  It's a big commitment and it is no wonder that willing organizers may be thin on the ground.  In any case, we demurred but promised to think about a bid for the year after that (2012).  We began the planning for our bid in January, 2011, settling on a venue, establishing a budget, and deciding on the other parameters for our bid which was submitted to the CFC governors in July 2011.

The CFC does not prescribe much in the way of conditions for the Canadian Open, neither the number of rounds, sections, prize fund, requirements for marquee players, or anything else.  Most items are left to some combination of tradition, the wishes of the organizers, and what is actually possible with the budget realized by the organizers.  Budgets vary tremendously from year to year for the Canadian Open.  As an example, the 2011 Toronto Canadian Open had a budget nearly three times the size of this year's Victoria Canadian Open.  Part of that difference is different expectations in the number of entries (in round numbers, an extra $20,000 in entry fees in Toronto); part was a large amount underwritten by a relative of one of the organizers as sponsorship.  In general, a Canadian Open with a large number of foreign titled players involves someone, somewhere, writing a big cheque.  In our case, we decided to go with an expectation of 150 paid entries, a quality venue,  sections and a modest amount for marquee players; these being the characteristics of a Canadian Open that we would want to play in that was also fiscally sound.  New ideas were running the tournament over 6 days (necessitated by the particulars of renting venues in Victoria in the summer months) and allowing players to purchase a game against one the marquee players in the first round.  The former might not work very well in cities where a large number of entries are local (and working during the day) but for Victoria, almost all of the entries are people from somewhere else.  The idea of purchasing a first round GM game proved not to be very popular and will likely not be repeated (and for those who think having a lot of GMs in the tournament is a valuable thing to the players, a piece of evidence that it might not be the case).

Opinions vary on what are essential components of a Canadian open but for me, it is a national event for all chess players that sooner or later will come to a community near you and the opportunity to catch up with old friends or attach a face to names that you have heard over the years.  Kanadski una sumas if you will.   Everything else, is incidental.

 

Rounds 1&2

 

The event itself wound up with 154 players with 3 GMs, 5 IMs,  and 1 WGM.  At the last minute, we lost 2 IMs, a WGM, and a WFM due to visa problems as well as a GM and IM who withdrew for personal reasons.  The field actually included 2 former world champions (ex U18 world champion IM Steven Zierk and ex U10 world champion FM Jason Cao) which is probably a first for the Canadian Open.

 

Opening remarks started ten minutes before the start of round 1.  We had planned for the Honorable Ida Chong, BC's minister of Community, Sport, and Cultural Development and a major sponsor, to open the event but had to temporize as she was caught up in a traffic snarl caused by the local gay pride parade.  She did make it, just in time, as we were wrapping up the announcements about the event rules.  No time for coaching though, so her ceremonial first move was the unconventional 1....b6 with the black pieces.  For those who care to parse politician's remarks, her introductory speech centered on how she, as the minister for sport, considered chess a sport.

Early upsets included FM Jason Cao vs. IM Arthur Calugar (1-0), Dezheng Kong vs. IM Eduard Porper (0.5-0.5), FM Michael Barron vs. GM Victor Mikhalevski (0.5-0.5).  Kong accepted a draw in a winning position.

FM Michael Barron - GM Victor Mikhalevski

 

Somewhat surprisingly, this position is not won for black.  He wins the f6 pawn easily enough but it is not enough.  The players do the opposition dance for a while, black trys the only break only to take up the opposition dance again.

Round 3

The event featured door prizes for every round.   Despite losing his first game Calugar was in fine form for this competition - winning his second of 3 door prizes.  It's good to be lucky....  After this round, the only one of the pre-tournament favourites left with a perfect score was IM Eric Hansen (tied with FM Richard Wang, and masters Howard Wu, Alex Yam) as  both GM Perelshtyen and IM Zierk failed to win. 

 

Perelshteyn plays speculatively against Rohonyan  and is outplayed in a messy game.  Rohonyan misses several opportunities to put the full point away although she was most likely playing on increment towards the end.

Wu survives a suspicious opening where upon Zierk declines to take a perpetual and play for the win, a decision that seemed very reasonable at the time but turns out badly.

Meanwhile, in the U2000 section, one of the eventual winners of that section, showed an acute lack of sense of danger.   Up a piece, rook on the only open file, what could possibly go wrong?

Ouch.

 

 

Round 4

The GMs and IMs (with the exception of Hansen) up to a full point back of the leaders the top boards featured match ups that one would have expected from  one of the earlier rounds.  Howard Wu's strong run was interrupted when his  suspect opening choice was dispatched efficiently by Eric Hansen with a series of cross pins.

Round 5

The day began with a presentation by Toronto organizer Brian Fiedler on finding sponsorship for chess events.   His presentation can be found in the links at the top of the page.

 

The top board matchup Wang-Hansen, the battle of Alberta champions (the current champion Wang vs. a former champion, Hansen), saw a slow moving Colle-Zukertort system by white when suddenly, black's queen became isolated from the rest of the black army.  Harassment of the queen soon lead to the win of a piece and the game leaving FM Richard Wang alone at the top of the standings.  At this point speculation began about his norm chances....

FM & Alberta Champion Richard Wang

 

The game Wu-Calugar featured a rare material imbalance.  The game followed what I assume is a theoretical line featuring a Queen for 3 minor piece swap (at least, it has been played before).  The first new move is actually 20. Rd3.  White soon won the exchange to reach the very rare Q+R vs. all 4 minors but it didn't do him any good.   Unable to find a useful occupation for his heavy pieces, Wu did not manage to achieve any activity and lost without resistance.

Round 6

The GMs finally returned to the top boards.  Mikhalevski took out Wang to take clear first place in a game where he took an annoying little edge and patiently nursed it to victory.  Perelshtyen was not so lucky, losing to Hansen in what ultimately proved to be Hansen's surge to the top.  Meanwhile, Calugar won his third (!) door prize.

Spot the combo! (white to move)

 

IM Steven Zierk -  Jason Kenney

 

 

Solution:  30. Rxg6! fg  31. Nf6+ and wins.

 

Round 7

The day started with a well received two hour lecture by Hansen, and after the round, the well attended Canadian Open Blitz Tournament which was won by IM Steven Zierk and IM Arthur Calugar.  a full crosstable of the blitz event is available at the online Canadian Open event report.

Mikhalevski was unable to hang on to his lead against Hansen.   He did manage to reach a theoretically drawn endgame of R+f & h pawn vs. R, but although theoretically drawn, it is known to be difficult.  So Hansen look the lead in the tournament once again.

 

Round 8

Side events for the day started with paddle boarding.   Thankfully, our guest star Nakamura had no mishaps on the ocean and came back to the venue in fine form to polish off a simul.  He did cough up one draw, against Andrew M. Smith, out of 23 players.  A pgn file with the simul games is available on the online version of the event report.

 

Arriving before the round, I was confronted with a bagpipe piper practicing in the basement of the hotel.  A chess tournament organizer's worst nightmare - a convention of bagpipers!.   Fortunately, it turned out to be just the one and just practicing in his spare time.

 

GM Hikaru Nakamura at the simul.

 

Richard Wang lost to Zierk.  Theoretically, this did not mean the end of his norm hopes but I understand he needed the right pairing (and result) in the last round  which he was not to get, so this effectively  ended his norm chance.

Yoos got what looked to be an optically better position against Fedorowicz - good bishop versus bad bishop, and shattered doubled and isolated pawns for white.  Instead, it turned out that this meant that white had control of all the entry points and a space advantage which ultimately proved decisive.

Round 9

The top boards drew quickly to keep the finish order at the top the same.  All the action happened on the next few boards who were fighting for a share of third.

 

Congratulations to IM Eric Hansen for his first place finish.  He now has the double crown - Current Canadian Closed co-championship  and Canadian Open championship.

 

Our Winner:  IM Eric Hansen

 

 

Finally, the event closed out with a Bughouse tournament won by the Plotkins, Victor & Mark.  Judging by the field, it is not just the juniors who enjoy bughouse....
