Victoria Open 2016 Event Report

2016 Victoria Championship

Jan. 15-17

Victoria, BC

 

 

55 players gathered at the Comfort Inn in Victoria for a five round chess tournament during the weekend of January 15th to 17th.

 
The tournament actually comprised two distinct components.  The first was a F.I.D.E. rated match between the five strongest Victoria players and five of the strongest Vancouver players (aka "Rest of the World") arranged in “Scheveningen” style where each team member played every member of the opposite team and prizes were awarded based on individual best scores.    All of the players have previously competed in the BC Closed and six are current or former BC Closed Champions.

 

Tanraj Sohal, Jack Yoos, John Doknjas, Joshua Doknjas and Jason Kenney represented "The Rest of the World".  The Victoria team consisted of Jason Cao, Valeria Gansvind, Howard Wu, Harry Moore and Roger Patterson.

In the end the slightly higher rated Vancouver team prevailed 14 ½ to 10 ½ led by a strong performance by Tanraj Sohal.  Individual prize winners were Tanraj (Vancouver) and Harry Moore / Jason Cao (Victoria).  Harry also earned the title of 2016 Victoria Champion on tiebreak with Jason and was awarded the Victoria Cup, a beautiful silver trophy dating back to 1945.

The second component was the Victoria Open, a new event on the BC chess calendar that attracted a very respectable 45 players from far and wide including two Seattle players, a visitor from Russia and a player from Saskatchewan. 

 

Vancouver player Jose Kagaoan won the Premier section, winning 4 games and drawing with Sloan Setiadikurnia of Seattle who in turn tied for 2nd/3rd with Zulfikar Sali who recently moved to Victoria from Prince George.


The Victoria Open U1600 section was won by Nicholas Peters of Parksville who finished a half point ahead of Bernie Stanley of Victoria.  Nicholas defeated Bernie in the 3rd round in what proved to be the decisive game.
