Report – 8 to 10 June 2002

 

The Gap Open

This year’s tournament saw only 16 entrants which was easily the lowest number of entries ever, and must cause the club serious consideration as to whether attempt to hold this tournament again. The winner was Khalimzhan Abylkassov who achieved a clean sweep of the opposition.

 

The Gap Chess Club had four representatives in the senior tournament: Gabriel Boross, John Curran, Doug Foster, and junior player Ben Lazarus. The club thanks Ian Murray for once more smoothly running the tournament as arbiter and director of play.

In contrast to the senior tournament, the Cadets tournament (for players under the age of 12 years old) was held as a single day event on the Sunday was a roaring success with 40 entrants. Andrew Robinson was run off his feet as Director of Play, trying to keep the rounds ticking over and the noise levels down at the same time. Congratulations go to joint winners Steven Cooke and Daniel Anderson, and also to former Gap Junior player Phillip Jones who came equal third with Liam Gunn-Schrader. Thanks to sponsorship from The Gap newsagency the club was able to offer prizes to all competitors.
