Shock Defeat of favourite leaves Stephen at the top
The Eleventh annual Rapidplay Congress organised by Bury Chess Club took place yesterday (11 December 2005) at the sumptuous surroundings of the Elizabethan Suite, Bury Town Hall.
MICHAEL WOOD HOMES were again main sponsors of the Bury Rapidplay Chess Congress. Returning sponsors were METCALFE & CO Accountants of Bury and new sponsors were WINTERTHUR LIFE.
This was a full day congress over six rounds, split into three sections – Open, Major and Minor. A hundred players contested total prize money of £820. Players each had 30 minutes to complete each game.
The M W Homes Open featured 4 titled players. International Master Stephen Gordon (3Cs Oldham) won £120 with a score of 5.5/6, drawing only his final game with Grandmaster and 2003 champion, Nigel Davies (3Cs Oldham). Nigel finished second with 4.5 points after a shock defeat by Ben Hague (Oldham). Ben was unable to stay with the leaders, but joined Adam Ashton, Ali Jaunooby and Dale James, all from 3Cs, on joint third with 4points, along with Brett Lund (Preston). Ian Campbell won a grading prize.
The Major had three joint winners with a score of 5/6 – Philip Olbison (Chorlton), Mkhumba Hope (Salford) and Jason Wright (3Cs Oldham).
Chris Vassiliou (Chorlton) won the under 130 grading prize with 4.5. The under 115 grading prize was shared by Vince Logan (Swinton), Derrick Taylor (Rochdale), Chris Jardine (Great Lever) and Eric Gradwell (Wigan).
The Minor was won jointly by Eric Buck (Wombwell), Ian Malloy (Manchester), David Adam (Harrogate) and Jim Eglington (Urmston) also with a score of 5/6.
Sam Towse (3Cs Oldham) won the under 80 grading prize jointly with James Bowler (Churwell School). The under 65 grading prize was won by Jade Stirrup (3Cs Oldham).
Bury’s Brian Forrest won the Lodwig Gruchlik Memorial Trophy, which is awarded annually for the best score from a Bury Chess Club member, with a score of 4.5/6 in the Minor.
Next year’s event is on Sunday 10th December 2006.
