The Georgia Chess Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of chess in Georgia. Georgia Chess magazine, edited by Mark N. Taylor, is published bimonthly by the GCA. ChessCafe.com is pleased to present this excerpt from their July/August 2009 issue. Georgia Chess Edited by Mark N. Taylor
Foreigners have overwhelmed the locals. For the first time that I can remember, all three sections of the tournament were won by players not from Georgia. The U1600 section was won by a player who came down from Kentucky. The U2000 section was won by a player who came up from Florida, and the Premier section was won by a player who came from half way around the world.
IM Kirill Kuderinov, a native of Kazakhstan whose visa was about to expire, scored 4.5 to take clear first in the top section. After winning against expert Misael "Mike" Mestres and soon-to-be-master Ryan Joseph Moon, Kirill conceded a draw to Damir Studen on Saturday evening. He broke out of a five way tie on Sunday with wins against Tennesseans FM Todd Andrews and IM Ron Burnett. Damir dispatched Athens master Richard Francisco in round 4, and drew Andrews in round 5 to finish alone in second place half a point behind Kuderinov. As the top finishing Georgian, Damir Studen is the 2009 Georgia State Champion. His play was particularly impressive when you figure that his draws against Kudrinov and Andrews were both with the black pieces. Alan Piper, who had a senior master level performance, finished as the top expert.
Newcomer to Georgia, Mahbub Shahalam from Florida, won his first 4 games and then agreed to an early draw with Tennessean Josh Salter when that was all he needed to secure the top spot in the U2000 section. Salter finished alone in second. Georgians in this section could do no better than third, as a quintet of state residents scored 3.5 to claim all the rest of the prizes in this section.
Kentuckian Ricky Durbin, also playing in his first Georgia tournament, made the journey worthwhile by tying for first U1600 with Eastside Elementary student Nathan Wu. Durbin had the better tie-breaks, but since he is not a state resident, Wu claimed the trophy in this section. One thing that is becoming increasingly clear is that the proliferation of chess analysis engines in ever smaller packages is going to force us to rethink our policy on electronic devices in the tournament hall for our major tournaments. Although we had no incidents involving these devices in this tournament, the very knowledge that they exist causes a problem in and of itself. When the guy across the table from you pulls out his iPod, what is it really that is going into his ear? Is it music, or does he have an analysis engine working? The fact that you have to ask yourself this question causes a break in your concentration. Maybe it’s time to do away with all electronics in the tournament halls? One incident that occurred this weekend does bear mentioning. When Black’s cell phone alarm beeped during a game, his opponent demanded that he be forfeited. Since the announced penalty for a first infraction of the prohibition against cell phone noise was a ten minute deduction from the offender’s remaining time, that penalty was imposed instead. This caused White to become belligerent, and to tell Black that he if he had any integrity he would resign. I warned him not to speak to his opponent in such a manner, and left the area, only to be called back a short time later. This time both players were lodging complaints. White said that Black was zipping his bag while White was on move, thereby deliberately distracting him. Black in turn said that White was continuing to speak to him in a threatening and insulting manner. Black was cautioned to do nothing to make noise while his opponent was on move, and White was cautioned not to speak again in such a manner under penalty of forfeit. The contest then proceeded to conclusion without further incident. Folks, this is only a chess game. Yes, I know there is money at stake, but it’s not enough to warrant going off the boil. If you cannot enjoy this as a friendly competition, then you might be happier doing something else with your free time. There are things in life that really are worth getting upset about. This isn’t one of them. I saw a sign on a church marquee yesterday that seems apropos here: "Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape."
