28th Annual Jack Taylor Memorial
Nov. 16-17, 2013
Victoria BC
The 28th annual Jack Taylor Memorial drew 20 players (21 if you include Mark acting as a floater), a fairly normal turnout despite a slow pre-registration. Most were from Victoria naturally but participants came from up island and even from Kelowna. So, there are still active players in the BC Interior! The hotel staff were very interested in the event and it looks like we picked up a new member for the Victoria Chess Club from them as a result. :-)
Roger Patterson came clear first with 4 points. The key game was in the 4th round when he beat Jason Cao, who won as BC Junior co champion the previous weekend. There was a logjam at 3.5 points for 2nd place between most of the rest of the higher rated players.
Top U1800 went to Jill Ding, Constantin Rotariu, and Greg Bishop, all with 3 points. Jill, in particular had a good result which easily could have been higher, probably missing a win against Paul Leblanc in the 4th round.
As well as the photos below, you may enjoy the TD's photo album of the event.
Thanks to Jill, Constantin, and Roger who all donated their prizes to Victoria Chess.
Thanks to our TD, Mark S. Dutton.
