30th Annual Jack Taylor Memorial
Nov. 14-15, 2015
Victoria, BC
The 30th annual Jack Taylor Memorial took place in Victoria November 14-15, 2015. The 30th annual is a nice big round number that not many tournaments reach and happily, the turnout for this event was also an historically large number. 28 people played which was smaller than only the 1994 version which had 29 players.
An important factor in the success in the event was the generous sponsorship of the descendants of Jack Taylor who are gratified to see that he is still remembered in the BC Chess world. In addition to sponsoring, some of the family made the trip to Victoria to visit the tournament and are pictured below. Carole Treloar (Jack's daughter) was good enough to bring Jack Taylor's gold medal for winning the 1930 BC Championship (photos below). By gold medal, we mean not just a first place finish but an actual gold medal. BC's resident historian, Stephen Wright, went "wow". He had known that the very early day's of the BC Championship had the practice of giving out a gold medal as well as the engraving on the championship perpetual trophy but had not known that this had continued to at least 1930. Those days are of course long behind us and current BC Champions make due with a modest cash prize and their photo in the BCCF bulletin.
