One Hour Tournament 2002

 

Results:

Brian Willcock 1 Stuart Wilson 0

Andrew Robinson 1 Doug Foster 0

Peter Hiller 0 Harvey Quaresmini 1

Michael Hussey 0 John Curran 1 (from Round 4)

 

Four games were played tonight. Stuart proved his unpredictability by coming off a massive effort last week against George, to playing Father Christmas twice to Brian. Brian nearly lodged an objection with the DOP claiming copyright on this ‘strategy’ – of luring the opponent into a false sense of overconfidence. Andrew managed to win against Doug who blundered in extreme time trouble.  However up to this point it was fairly even with Andrew up the exchange, but Doug with a strong knight and pawn advantage to compensate. Harvey ungraciously claims his 2 previous losses to Peter were due to him falling asleep while Peter took an eternity to make a move. No such thing happened this week although Harvey’s win was hard fought, and Peter missed claiming a draw on repetition as late in the game as move 67.

 

Congratulations to John for scoring his first win in an intra-club tournament rated game. He managed to force the issue with good king position in a pawn endgame.

 

Selected games from the One Hour tournament will be published each week.
