CCSN IRS Open, April 10-11, 1999

(Sponsored by the Southern Nevada Chess Club, directed by John Trivett)

Mr. Clean! John Brown wins it all

After a LONG drought with small turnouts, we finally had a real tried and true strong tourrnament. This was not a Grand Prix tournament. Why? Because the first three events of the year were so small quickplay events were held. Therefore, the Southern Nevada Grand Prix for 1999 was canceled. 15 players entered the lists including 2 M, 5X and 8 class players. there were three players from Utah, Joaquin Scarpa (2232,originally from Argentina), Vincent Bazemore (1707) and Gansukh Sandagsuren debuting in his first event. Denis Marrero (2312), Jorge Barrios (2155), Mike Buchawiecki (2118), John Brown (2014), Francisco Vela (1568), Richard Wade (1960), and John Conklin (1470) were debuting for the year, or had come back to play after a long hiatus. And your editor was directing his first tournament in some 15 years.

In round one, Bazemore played an amazing attack against Scarpa and even had a 45 minute to 5 minute edge in the time, yet Scarpa manged to play VERY FAST and mate his opponent with just bare seconds left. Sandagsuren held Wade to a draw for the only "upset".

Round two action saw Brown accept Tom Thrush's speculative queen offer to win in 28 moves. Marrero also moved to 2/2 as did Scarpa. Alan Amici (1317) was winning easily but made it hard for himself to score against Vela.

In round three, Glenn Bidari (2054) entered the lists and his game with Buchawiecki featured a most original approach to the Dutch Defense. Mike spent almost an hour on the first five moves and quietly lost on time on move 20. Bazemore took Barrios's queen and more in another scathing attack to win. Brown moved to 3/3 and Marrero sacced a piece versus Scarpa and they drew by perpetual check.

In round four, Marrero and Barrios strolled in more than an hour late and had already lost by forfeit. This prompted their withdrawal. Thrush was outplayed and threw away a piece to lose and so he withdrew as well. Brown moved to 4/4 with Scarpa trailing at 3.5/4. Out of practice, former state champion Buchawiecki calmly swindled Sandagsuren from a lost position to draw by perpetual check.

In the final round, Brown played brilliant Tarrasch French to steal the point from Scarpa. Wade won the exchange and beat Bidari. Sandagsuren, still reeling from the round four swindle threw away a piece to Vela and lost. Amici was brilliantly beating Conklin and all of sudden cried check with queen. Conklin simply took it and Amici resigned. Conklin lamented "He had me." Ken Sims (1555) defeated John Currell (1830) and a bemused Currell pointed out 10. Bb5 would have won the queen. An amazing case of mutual chess blindness. Bazemore struck again winning Buchawiecki's queen and the game with a nice combination.

In the prize distribution John Brown scored 5/5 to win the First Open prize and this was 1.5 points ahead of the pack. Joaquin Scarpa won the Second Open prize with 3.5/5. Richard Wade won the First U2100 prize with 3.5/5 tying with Scarpa and the Second U2100 prize was won by Vincent Bazemore with 3/5. Francisco Vela and John Conklin split the First and Second U1600 prize.

I'd really like to thank all the players for playing and especially Ken Sims, who very skillfully helped me in directorial chores.

Enjoy!
