36th Annual Keres Memorial

May 20-23, 2011

River Rock Casino Resort

Richmond, BC

 

 

This year's version of the Keres Memorial took  place at the River Rock Casino Hotel and Resort, a new venue for us.   The new tournament site was well situated close to transportation, on the waterfront with a panoramic view of the marina and Vancouver, natural light for playing conditions, and was well received by all.

 

Top honors in the Open Section went to  Washington IM Georgi Orlov and the recently arrived in Vancouver Maxim Doroshenko.   Georgi played very enterprising bloodthirsty chess which nearly backfired on him in the first round when he didn't quite manage to make his piece sacrifice work against Andrey Kostin.   However, the style pulled through for him in the end, particularly in his games against FM Bindi Cheng and IM Leon Piasetski.   Maxim is fairly new to Vancouver.   He has been playing casually in the local Russian speaking community but this his first serious outing in Canada.  This tournament puts his FIDE rating over 2300 so he will be an FM although FIDE seems to have blanked out his rating.    Tied for 3rd were FM Bindi Cheng,  Butch Villavieja, and Joe Soliven (who actually took the U2200 prize).  Bindi and Butch playing each other both could have tied for first with a decisive result but in a brutal struggle that ended an hour and a half after everyone else had finished had to settle for a draw and 3rd place.   Play it over and imagine that you are playing on increment only for the last 30 moves or so.

 

Stay tuned for info on next year's Keres: the 37th Annual!
