All official club games are over for the year and we will be playing some casual chess, perhaps some 15 minute tournaments
Come along for the last few nights of 2009 at Salvation Army, and don’t forget our prize-giving to be held on 16 December: ALL people are welcome and bring some food for our celebration of Chess in Kapiti.
We have winners! The Kapiti Chess Club’s Championships are now over.

The Kapiti Chess Annual Clubs Champs are drawing to a close. There are three more rounds for the B and C grade players, and the A grade has several catch up games—see below. Johnny Hynes is well ahead on points to take out the C grade. The B grade is a battle between Rick Lowe and Christy Paul, closely pursued by a pack of three players. David Paul appears to have taken out the A grade with an insurmountable eleven and a half points. His nearest contender David Sosnoski needed to defeat Guy Burns last week to have a chance of beating David to the trophy. Please note these points/results are tentative and are yet to be triangulated by Club officials—see below for detailed results

2009 Kapiti Rapid
Sunday 20 September 2009. A field of 38 players ensured the annual Kapiti Rapid 6 round tournament was another success. Anthony Ker wiped the field clean with an impressive 6 point sweep—perhaps his most difficult game of the day was round one against the mighty Kapiti Chess Club battler, Mike O’Rorke who played a brilliant 62 move game with some draw potentials? Junior Alan Ansell and Wellington’s Ross Jackson played above their weights and finished with an impressive 4.5 points, along with Edward Lee and former Kapiti player Martin Hill.
Kapiti’s David Paul and Dennis Sosnoski kept the top B grade prize in Kapiti’s hands for a second year running with 3.5 point finishes. Junior Ryan Hill also played well in this grade with 3 points along with Kapiti’s Mike O’Rorke. Argentinian Sebastian Manzt supply of Mate tea possibly helped him to also finish with 3 points in the B Grade.
Anil Jhurane took the C Grade prize, with 3.5 points—this result will boost his rating—followed closely on 3, by Juniors Michael Yuan, Tawan Sunathvanichka, and James Stewart.
The Junior prize was shared by Ryan Lee, Pasan Pahalawatta and David Kweon—names to be watched closely as future champions maybe?

Christy Paul’s shock loss to Brian Seddon, or Mike O’Rorke’s win over Dennis Sosnoski. They are both, significant, as far as 2009 upsets go.
In the B grade, David Seddon is now equal with Christy Paul on the points table, closely followed by Rick Lowe and Dave Seddon.
Johnny Hndes, comfortably leads the C grade.
David Paul’s lead in the A grade has been helped by Mighty Mike’s win against Dennis. There are still two catch-up games to go, in this grade for Dennis, against Guy Burns and Zoe Kingston, before final points can be determined.
Next week, 09 September will see the commencement of Part Two for the A grade Champs. For the B and C grade swiss run tournament, next week will be the last round of this series, followed by a break—16 September. Part Two of the B and C grade series will commence 23 September.

Christy Paul faced his nemisis—Rick Lowe—keeping his cool, came away with a finely deserved win, arguably the winner of this game will be the winner of the 2009 B Grade title, as both players have been running neck and neck. Johnny Hynes continues to dominate the B grade. The game to watch in the A grade was between David Paul and Dennis Sosnosky—a gargantuan match—which ended in a draw, though both players had opportunites through the game. Mike O’Rorke continues his fine form and managed a draw against the tenacious Tim Roberts. Perhaps the ‘get out of jail’ card was handed to Guy Burns who scored an unexpected victory over Zoe Kingston after a shocking start.
Next week (02 September) the A grade will play out the last round of this series, and the B & C will contine their combined Swiss Round games.
09 September will be a catch-up night for the A grade. B & C will by as per normal.
16 September all the grades will begin a new series of games for the Club Championships.
There’s still two rounds of the A Grade Championships to go—series 1 of a double-round-robin. Then there is a break between series—a chance for players to catch-up on any games they’ve missed. Series 2 for the A Grade starts 10 September. The B and C grade Champs are now well under way, next week is Round 4 for this Swiss based Championships.

Next week— 29 July—we have our Fourth round of the Blitz series, five rounds throughout 2009.
The Club Champs are now under way, but with the format we are using there is still time for new entries to be accepted.
Zoe Kingston (left) looks on with satisfaction — at her text-book perfect position — Tim Roberts (to move) soon realises his time is up, and resigns.

- Gufeld Trophy — C Grade
winner of the Reserve Grade — Well done Gentlemen!
Saw Round Three of the Kapiti Chess Club Blitz Tournament played, under rugby Sevens rules, where the top four players square off using semi-final, then finals—based on three games per final. Guy Burns, David Paul, Earl Roberts and Mike O’Rorke made it to the semis, resulting in David Paul and Guy Burns facing each other in the grand show down. Once again David Paul prevailed, crushing Guy in the first two games.
Round three’s biggest upset result was this magnificent mating manoeuvre by a determined and resolute Mike O’Rorke (left) against a shell-shocked, current reigning Kapiti Blitz Champion — David Paul.
Next week the Club Champs start, based on a double round robin tournament. Because of a change in programme, all first four games are required to be played when the opponent is absent, this is to accommodate some players who have planned to be away over this period. A full draw will be developed and placed on this website to allow players to plan their games.
CONGRATULATIONS to Paul Frost for keeping his cool when battling his way through the field, to take the 2009, 60-60 John Kingston Memorial Trophy — like the twelve labours of Hercules, Paul stood firm against an onslaught of worthy opponents, only crumbling against Zoe Kingston in the middle stages of the eight-round contest. Zoe Kingston and David Paul followed closely on six points, ahead of Guy Burns and Mike O’Rorke on five.
In the Reserve Grade Rick Lowe took out the Title, well and truly ahead of the pack, on seven points. Next — Tricia Benny and Chris Carr with a respectable five points. Junior player, Josie Benny, followed closely with an impressive four and a half points.
Next week — 24 June 2009 — is round Three of our Blitz Trophy Challenge, so come along for some exciting rapid chess. Members of the public are invited to play in this fun event.
After the second to last night of the John Kingston Memorial Trophy, Paul Frost and Zoe Kingston continue to share the lead — on six points — after wining their games. Paul easily won after Guy Burns crumbled in the mid-game. Zoe’s game was also quickly over. David Paul stands alone at second on 5 points, followed by a field of four on 4 points. In the Reserve Grade, Rick Lowe and Tricia Benny were both absent, but continue to lead the field, based on a solid foundation of previous wins. Rick on 7 points leads ahead of Tricia and Chris Carr on 5 points. Next week is the last night of this competition and will determine the final result.
On 24 June we have round three of our five round Blitz Trophy — come along for a fun night of rapid chess. The following week our Club Champs are scheduled to start. David Paul will prepare a draft plan for the tournament and bring this along on 17 June.
Kapiti Chess Club now has a Blog — test it out and leave a few comments!
Paul Frost (right) prepares to rapidly launch his f pawn to queendom, then onto mate,
much to the consternation of David Paul (left).
Paul and Zoe Kingston lead the field, by a full point, and their games will be closely followed next round. Glenys Mills had a noteworthy win against Tim Roberts. In the Reserve Grade Rick Lowe, on six points, is pulling ahead of the field, as former co-leader Tricia Benny, five points, was absent. Two more rounds remain for this Trophy Tournament. Next, a blitz night will be held, and then the Club Championships will start — the format of this contest will be announced soon.
In the Reserve grade Johnny Hynes won against Chris Carr, and Rick Lowe beat Luke Reynolds. Rick Lowe and Tricia Benny share the lead on five points, one and a half points clear of Josie Clark.
