1998 Dave Trujillo Memorial Open, October 17-18, 1998
(Directed by Norm Harvey)Barrios, Estlick, and Gross emerge from the crowd to tie
This tournament is the first in Nevada of a series of events held annually in Alamosa, Colorado from 1990 to 1995. David Trujillo was a sharp player who took to the game, going 0-4 in his first event and 4-0 in his second event. He played at the 1989 National Open and did quite well. This editor met him there and later heard he died in a tragic auto accident. In 1990, Norm Harvey undertook to organize the first four tournaments and after 1993, two more were organized. This past summer, with a vacant October looming, Norm undertook to hold this event here in Nevada, probably to become an annual event here.
2 M,3 X and 10 class players entered the lists, including newcomers Mike Cassidy, Laurence Estlick, on holiday from Michigan,and some guy named Balles. Round one began with two upset draws with John Trivett (1906) going nuts with Harvey Bradlow (2262), and Chad Badgett (1667) outplaying and then getting outplayed by Alex Herrera (2013).
Round two featured draws on three of the four top board, Glenn Bidari (1993) crushing an out-of-form Bradlow, who promptly withdrew. Also, Balles took the time to use a few choice words to exit in a fit.
In round three, with rating differences meaning little, there was four draws on five boards with Mike Cassidy (1255) beating Francisco Vela (1587) and Glenn Bidari leading with 2.5/3, ahead of 5 others with 2/3. At this point, 10 of 19 games played were draws, most of them hard fought. And several 1/2 point byes made the tournament plod along.
Ah, but in the fourth round, Ron Gross (2259) refuted John Brown's (2026) sacrifice and Jorge Barrios (2160) ground Bidari in a well played ending to take the lead with 3/4, followed by Estlick, Bidari, Jose Ramirez (1792), and Badgett with 2.5/4. We were looking at a possible logjam for first prize!
In round five, Gross and Barrios drew a long game. Estlick pushed his central pawn majority into Ramirez's position to win. Badgett appeared to blunder in time pressure and lost to Brown. Herrera, the king of long draws won from Glen Buckendorf (1800) with a surprising horse move. And the king of short draws, Trivett was forced to play chess and won a messy game from Cassidy, who spent only 20 minutes on the game compared to his opponent's 1.5 hours.
Jorge Barrios, Ron Gross, and Laurence Estlick all tied for the 1st and 2nd open prize with 3.5/5. Estlick was also the 1st U2000 prize. John Trivett and Glenn Bidari shared the 2nd U2000 prize with 3/5. The two U1800 prizes was shared by Jose Ramirez and Chad Badgett with 2.5/5 and both of these guys could have tied for open prize if they had won in the last round!
I'd like to thank Alex Herrera for notes to four of his games, the other few notes are mine. My apologies for any errors herein, enjoy the bulletin.
