ACC Changing Leaves Swiss

Leave a comment

It’s that time of year again. Despite the hot weather last weekend, the trees are starting to show us that fall is coming.

ACC Changing Leaves Swiss is a five-round CFC-rated tournament in three sections, Crown, U1800, and U1400. Time control is 90 min/side with a 30-s increment. The round starts at 7:30 pm on Monday nights September 17 to October 22. (Off October 8 for Thanksgiving.) New players can register on site each round by 7 pm. Email registration or bye requests before 6pm.

Round One – September 17

Round One of a Swiss tournament pits the top half of each section against the bottom half, so it’s favourites versus underdogs. Some of the underdogs who scored victories against the favourites were Lucy Gao, Yiwei Dong, Victor Stroganov, Lorne Schwartz, and Grigoris Bentley.

After a reminder before the round by George Supol, many members pitched in to help clean up tonight. Thanks, everyone!

Round Two – September 24

After two rounds, there are two-way ties for first in each section. Michael Humphreys and Sergey Noritsyn are tied for the lead with 2.0/2 in the Crown. In U1800, it’s Ayo Ogunlana and Lucy Gao in a tie for first with 2.0/2. And in U1400, it’s Alexis Stefanovic-Thomson and Ambarish Chandra tied for the lead, again with 2.0/2.

Round Three – October 1

After a draw on the top board, it’s still a two-way tie for first in the Crown between Michael Humphreys and Sergey Noritsyn. It’s the same story in U1400, with Alexis Stefanovic-Thomson and Ambarish Chandra still tied for the lead at 2.5/3. But in U1800, Lucy Gao takes sole possession of first with a perfect 3.0/3!

Round Four – October 8

In the Crown, Michael Humphreys and Sergey Noritsyn are still tied for the lead, now at 3.5/4. In U1800, Lucy Gao holds onto her lead with a draw and 3.5/4. And in U1400 Ambarish Chandra now shares his lead with Mark Patton, both at 3.0/4.

Round Five – October 22

In the Crown, Dave Southam takes first, with 4.0/5 – after finally scoring a victory over Michael Humphreys.
In U1800, Dragan Jevtic is happy to take another first-place result in the section, but even happier to defeat the young chess phenom, Lucy Gao, who has been shredding her opponents lately.
In U1400, Mark Patton wins his final-round game to take first in the section with 4.0/5.
Congratulations to the winners! See full results below.

Next week, October 29, is our Halloween Rapid. Then on November 5, join us for Round One of a new club tournament. Please email before 6:00, or register on site before 7:00 pm to sign up.

ACC Relax and Unwind Swiss

2 Comments

August is a great time to relax and unwind. Chess can be a stressful game, but the opportunity to completely focus on the flow (and stress) of the game, while setting everything else aside, can also be very relaxing.

ACC Relax and Unwind Swiss is a five-round CFC-rated tournament in three sections, Crown, U1800, and U1400. Time control is 90 min/side with a 30-s increment. The round starts at 7:30 pm on Monday nights July 30 to September 10. (Off August 6 for Simcoe Day and September 3 for Labour Day.) New players can register on site each round by 7 pm. Email registration or bye requests before 6pm.
