CCSN Summer Open, June 26-28, 1998
(Directed by Norm Harvey)Marred by Marrero, Crushed by Thrush ... Denis and Tom tie for first.
This tournament was the last of six for the 1998 Southern Nevada Grand Prix and 16 players including 2 M, 4X, and 12 class players making up the field with the median at about 1900. Among the new faces, Harvey Bradlow, a master who has won a whole string of tournaments and money in the NSCA Inc Grand Prix, Anthony King, William Dobenen, a Grob\Spike afficianado, Francisco Vela (who played much stronger than his indiated provisional rating) and after a long absence, Alex Herrera.
In round one, the higher rated triumph, expert Mike Bruns (2065) sacced his queen to a check and was forced to resign to William Dobenen (1489) in the only upset. Ken Sims (1543) playing hors concours should have won beautifully but drew a difficult ending vs. L. Yeifef (1620).
In round two, Jorge Barrios (2114) defeated Harvey Bradlow (2274) with a vicious attack and the two bishops, John Trivett (1900) offered up his queen and more in a combination to win, and Francisco Vela (1233?!) drew with Glen Buckendorf (1823). Also check out Thrush-Herrera.
In round three, Denis Marrero (2302) moved to 3/3, the legendary John Brown (1958) drew with Bradlow, John Currell (1824) won lots of pieces from Herrera to move to 2.5/3, and Vela wins in a double rook ending over Yeifef.
In round four, Currell lost quickly to Marrero who is now 4/4 and Jorge Barrios (2114) lost a piece and the game to Tom Thrush (2116) who trails at 3/4 ahead of Currell's 2.5/4 and the rest of the pack back at 2/4.
In the last round, Thrush manages to get a second queen when Marrero mismanages a combination. The materialistic Currell was ahead in the ending a R and 4Ps vs Barrios N+2Ps but that ended in a draw and a wonderful tournament for John. Brown and Bruns won in 13 and 14 moves respectively, Dobenen's Grob takes a beating from Sims in a technical ending and again Vela scores another over Anthony King (1438), and Trivett sees ghosts and draws Herrara.
In the prize distribution, Denis Marrero and Tom Thrush split the 1st and 2nd open prize with 4/5, John Brown and John Currell split the U2000 prize with 3/5, and Fransico Vela takes first in U1800 with 2.5/5 with William Dobenen second with 1.5/5. For the Southern Nevada Grand Prix trophies overall open winner was Denis Marrero with 16.5/20, Tom Thrush edged out Jorge Barrios on the second tiebreak with a .5 difference to win the expert trophy with 14.5/20, John Brown won the A trophy with 12.5/20 and he was the only person to play all six tournaments, 5 rounds, 30 games. Jim Brailsford won the B trophy with 8.5\20 and Chad Badgett scored the U1600 trophy with 6.5/20. Congratulations to all of you.
There are some brief notes by me to some games, except many thanks to Alex Herrera for notes to his games included herein (with technical difficulty). My apologies for any errors found, Enjoy the bulletin.
