27th Annual Jack Taylor Memorial

Nov. 10-11, 2012

Victoria, BC

18 people took part in the 27th annual Jack Taylor Memorial, a typical number for this tournament. Pre-registration at 20 people plus a few late entries was promising to be a larger than usual crowd but a few no-shows and sickness cut down the number somewhat.

The winners were Constantin Rotariu and Paul Leblanc. The deciding game was eventful with Paul establishing a clear and decisive advantage but then things went horribly wrong.

(White: Rotariu, Black: Leblanc - going from memory so a pawn or two might be wrong)

Constantin found 1. Rg6 in time pressure but after 1......fg followed up with 2. f7+? Kf7 3. Ng5+ eventually drawing. Instead, 2. Ng5! is a pleasing crusher. The spectators were all very disappointed.

Good results were also turned in by many of the juniors who are moving up in the rankings.

A photo album has been posted by the TD on Facebook (tournament photos, historical photos relating to Jack Taylor and misc. other stuff)

Thanks to the winners Constantin & Paul for donating their prizes to Victoria Chess!

Thanks to Mark for his work as TD.
