35th Annual Keres Memorial

May 22-24, 2010

Richmond, BC

A CFC and FIDE rated event with $4000 in prizes.

 

The 35th Annual Keres Memorial had 81 players, marginally higher than the attendence of the last few years.  Titled players included one each of GM, IM, FM, and WGM.   They all finished at the top, joined by NM Roman Jiganchine in a 5 way tie for first place.   Roman also took the qualifying spot for this year's BC Closed.

 

The tournament was marred by the collapse of one of the players, Ernie Krzyzowski during round 3.   He later died in hospital.   Ernie has played for many years in BC going back to the 1960s at least, including many Keres Memorials.  The fourth round started with a moment of silence in memory of him.

 

Many thanks to our volunteers Ralph Lavallee and Michael Bickley who helped with the demo boards and stepped in as floating players when needed.

 

Thanks too, to Casey Collins for a generous donation of $101 (apparently a lucky number) to Canada's Olympiad Team.

 

Stay tuned and join us next year for the 36th Annual Keres on the Victoria Day weekend in 2011!

 

Organized by Roger Patterson, Paul Leblanc, and Brian Raymer.

TD:  Stephen Wright.
