It’s summer in Toronto and there are a thousand ways to celebrate! Summer starts officially in the Annex neighbourhood on Sunday June 8 with the Annex Festival on Bloor.
Then, Sunday June 15, Harbourfront Centre hosts Chessfest, presented by Scotiabank. Enter the blitz tournament, try your luck against the blindfold master, or just show up for free family fun: face painting, chess lessons, casual games, and more! (Chessfest returns August 10.)
Meanwhile, at 918 Bathurst, Annex Chess Club is celebrating summer every Monday night in June. The Celebrate Summer Swiss runs June 2 to June 30. It’s a five-round tournament in 3 sections: Crown, under 1900, and under 1500.
Round One – June 2
The tournament gets started at 7:30 pm with forty-two players paired. Before the round starts, Ted Winick celebrates our Annex A team (who won the GTCL Cup last week): Michael Humphreys, Pavel Peev, Zehn Nasir, and Bill Evans. Showing off our new trophy, Ted remarks that Annex Chess Club is “not just a pretty face” on the Toronto chess scene. The winners share a round of applause with all participants as Ted thanks all the Annex players who came out for the event.
When the round gets underway, it’s David-versus-Goliath chess as players wrestle with typically lopsided Round-One Swiss pairings. In the Crown section, Goliaths dominate, but at the end of the night the biggest Goliath of them all, Club Champion FM Michael Humphreys is held to a draw on Board One by Nicholas Gellner.
Things are much more topsy-turvy in the U1900 section. Rife with upsets, the section sees Adrian Chin, Cindy Qiao, George Supol, and Richard Morrison all take down higher-rated opponents. Ulli Diemer calculates after the round that the average rating of the five losers in the section is 1624, while the average rating of the five winners is 1469. Wow!
In U1500, Goliaths return to their rightful dominance, and David is defeated on every board but one. On that one board, it’s young Tigran Ghazarian, Canadian Chess Challenge Grade One Champion, who takes down Daniele Pirri.
Tigran Ghazarian
Round Two – June 9
In the Crown section, there is a huge upset as Omar Shah defeats Club Champion Michael Humphreys. Shah joins Hugh Siddeley and Bill Evans in a three-way tie for first at 2.0/2.
In U1900, Adrian Chin and Greg Beal are tied for first with 2.0/2. Both prevail against tough opponents as George Supol and Cindy Qiao make the leaders work hard for their round-two wins. (Good luck to Cindy Qiao and Nicholas Vettese at the North American Youth Chess Championships in New York this week!)
In U1500, Raymond Lin and Max England are tied for first with 2.0/2.
Round Three – June 16
Not everyone can be perfect all the time. Round Three features a number of mini-playoffs between players with perfect records through two rounds.
In the Crown section, Hugh Siddeley prevails against Bill Evans, while Omar Shah takes a bye. Siddeley is now alone in first with 3.0/3.
Hugh Siddeley
In U1900 action, Adrian Chin and Greg Beal battle to a draw. Chin and Beal are now tied for the lead in the section with 2.5/3. Having played each other, they’ll now face challengers from the 2-point group.
In the U1500 section, Max England defeats Raymond Lin. England is now alone in first with 3.0/3.
Round Four – June 23
Round Four we welcome back Cindy Qiao and Nicholas Vettese from the NAYCC in New York. Nicholas Vettese won 2nd place in U10 (and earned a new CM title):
In the Crown section, Danny Zotkin defeats leader Hugh Siddeley to take over first place, with 3.5/4.
Daniel Zotkin
In U1900, Adrian Chin defeats Ulli Diemer while co-leader Greg Beal is held to a draw by Hooshang Abbarin, allowing Chin to pull into first with 3.5/4.
In U1500, Mark Gelowitz defeats leader Max England to take over first place, with 3.5/4.
The three new leaders will face a final challenger in Round 5 as they fight to hold their first-place positions.
Round Five – June 30
The final round of the tournament sees tournament leader Daniel Zotkin hold his half-point lead as he defeats Bill Evans to finish clear first in the Crown section with 4.5/5. Keeping the pressure on the leader, Hugh Siddeley wins his game against Chris Udrea to finishes second with 4.0/5. In third, Jianqiu Chen wins three in a row to finish with 3.5/5.
In U1900 last-round action, Claudio Sottile plays spoiler, knocking leader Adrian Chin down to second place, as Greg Beal, from half a point behind, wins his game against Ulli Diemer to takes clear first with 4.0/5.
In the 1500 section, Max England holds tough, defeating Howard Halim to take clear first with 4.0/5. Behind him, Mark Gelowitz and Vinorth Vigneswaramoorthy tie for second with 3.5/5.
Congratulations to Daniel Zotkin for taking the tournament, and to Greg Beal and Max England for winning their sections!
A new club tournament, the Drum and Dance Swiss, starts next Monday July 7, with Round One games starting at 7:30 pm. Arrive before 7:00 if you’re not pre-registered.
As February ends with wind-chill values of -30°C in the forecast, and March starts with a snowstorm, the only sign of spring is the longer days – slowly but surely sending winter on its way.
We love the winter here – mon pays c’est l’hiver and #WEAREWINTER – but enough is enough. After the polar vortex and the ice storm, the power outage and the stomach flu, we’re all ready to bid a fond farewell to the Old Man.
The ACC Goodbye Winter Swiss runs for five weeks, from March 3 to March 31, in three sections: Crown, Reserve A (U1900), and Reserve B (U1500). Rounds start at 7:30 pm each Monday night, and games are played at a time control of game/90′ with a 30″ increment.
Round One – March 3
The night gets off to a rocky start as we have troubles with SwissSys and the CFC data file. But back-up artibiter, Hugh Siddeley, pairs by hand with an Excel spreadsheet, and the games get started. Hugh’s going to get SwissSys ironed out for next week.
Round One in a Swiss usually sees some of the biggest rating mismatches of the tournament, and it’s fun to look for upset wins by the rating underdog. This time, in the Crown section, Daniel Zotkin gets the better of Hugh Siddeley, and Omar Shah scores a point against Wajdy Shebetah.
In the U1900 section, Julian Pulgarin, who scored 4.0/6 last tournament at ACC, is off to a good start with a win over Bob Armstrong, and Manuela Renteria wins her game against Ulli Diemer. Finally, in the U1500 section, Nick Mourtos wins on the top board against Jian Rashid – although it’s not clearly an upset as Jian’s 1700+ rating is provisional and based on only one game.
Round Two – March 10
With March Break happening in elementary and secondary schools in Toronto, there are a few bye requests – but we also have some new joiners: it’s nice to see Adie Todd re-joining the club, for example!
Our Club Championship trophies and medals have been engraved, so we have a medal ceremony before the round. Congratulations again to the medal winners from our ACC Championship, especially 2014 Club Champion Michael Humphreys!
After two rounds, Michael Humphreys and Daniel Zotkin are tied for first with 2.0/2 in the Crown section.
In the U1900 section, there’s a three-way tie for first. Chris Udrea, Julian Pulgarin, and Daniel Sirkovich all have 2.0/2.
Finally, in the U1500 section, there’s another three-way tie for the lead. George Supol, Armand Mendoza, and Adam Goldfarb all have 2.0/2.
Round Three – March 17
After an amply-attended 45-minute AGM, the St. Patrick’s Day round of the Goodbye Winter Swiss (let’s hope St. Patrick drives the snow from Toronto like he drove the snakes from Ireland) starts off sans a few players from the Crown section who qualify for the Toronto Closed. This GTA championship Round Robin runs simultaneously with our regular club tournaments for this and the next six Monday nights, not including Easter Monday April 21.
Now leading the remaining players in the top section is young Daniel Zotkin, with 2.5/3 after a draw against Zehn Nasir. Behind him, among the group with 2.0/3, is Canada’s top-rated under-10 player, Nicholas Vettese, who defends his title (as it were) with a win over under-10 rival, Harmony Zhu, from the black side of a Queen’s Indian.
The U1900 now has just a two-way tie between Chris Udrea, beating Daniel Sirkovich, and the clearly underrated Julian Pulgarin, beating Josep Sobrepere. Both players have a perfect 3.0/3 and a full-point lead over their closest rivals. Chris and Julian are due to face off in Round 4.
In U1500 play, Adam Goldfarb is leading with 3.0/3 after a win over Daniele Pirri, one of the newest club directors. Armand Mendoza and George Supol are half a point behind with 2.5/3 after drawing their game.
Round Four – March 24
In the Crown section, Nicholas Vettese defeats the leader, Daniel Zotkin, to take the lead by half a point, with 3.0/4.
In U1900, Chris Udrea defeats rival Julian Pulgarin to take sole possession of first. Chris is still perfect with 4.0/4.
In U1500, Adam Goldfarb is held to a draw by Dennis Li, allowing unrated Armand Mendoza, with a win over Howard Halim,to tie for the lead at 3.5/4.
Round Five – March 31
It’s an exciting finish in the Crown section as Daniel Zotkin wins his last round game against Jonathan Yu to take first, with 3.5/5, on tie-break over Joseph Bellissimo. Bellissimo helps Zotkin by beating Nicholas Vettese, who finishes a half-point behind at 3.0/5.
Daniel Zotkin
In 1900, Chris Udrea wins his last-round game against Marcus Wilker to take first place with a perfect score of 5.0/5, a full point-and-a-half ahead of his closest competitors, Jack Maguire and Daniel Sirkovich, who finish with 3.5.
In U1500, the top competitors play head-to-head last round, and Armand Mendoza takes first place with a win over Adam Goldfarb and finishes with 4.0/5. Richard Morrison ends just a half-point behind, at 3.5.
See full results below.
Our next regular club tournament, the Welcome Spring Swiss, starts April 7 at 7:30 pm. New players are welcome to join!
2011 ACC Holiday Swiss – Final Results (January 23)
With Michael Humphreys, Rolando Renteria, and David Southam playing full-time in the GTCL Premier League, it was Alex Ferreira who finished on top of the Premier section in clear first with 3.5/5. Congratulations, Alex!
In the Reserve A section, young Danny Zotkin finished first with 3.5/5. (Adie Todd finished tied at 3.5/5, but since she has taken 3 byes, Danny wins the tie break.)
Finally, in Reserve C, Hooshang Abbarin took first with an impressive 5.0/5. Perfect score!
Here are the complete results through Round 5:

Round 2 (December 19)
After two rounds of play, Michael Humphreys is continuing his domination of the top section. After winning the 2011 Fall Swiss with a perfect 5.0/5, record, he’s off to a 2.0/2 start in this club Swiss, too.
Hopefully, Michael continues his winning streak on January 9, when he plays board 1 for ACC in the first match of the GTCL Premier League season!
In the Reserve A section, there’s a five-way tie for the lead: Zaki Uddin, Zehn Nasir, Nick O’Bumsawin, Edmond Jodhi, and Danny Zotkin all have 1.5/2. They’re all strong contenders, and it’s anyone’s guess who’ll come out on top in the next three rounds.
Meanwhile, in Reserve B, the father-and-daughter combination of Hooshang Abbarin and Shabnam Abbarin are tearing it up with 2.0/2 records. They are currently in a two-way tie for the lead.
Finally, special thanks to Alex Ferreira, who filled in for our regular TD, Hugh Siddeley. Only Alex can re-pair a section by hand – and take care of a finicky printer – while simultaneously entertaining the crowd with chess stories from the good old days!
Round 4 (January 16)
With the GTCL Premier League under way, the Premier section has been decimated – Michael Humphreys, Rolando Renteria, and David Southam have dropped out to play the top boards for the ACC team. Pavel Peev (who took a round off himself to play for the ACC team) is leading what remains of the section with 3.0/4.
In the super-competitive Reserve A section, Nick O’Bumsawin, is leading with 3.0/4 – but there are five hungry hounds chomping at his heels, half a point behind. Nick can take clear first with a win next round. Otherwise we’re liable to end up with a tie at the top of this section.
In the Reserve B section, Hooshang Abbarin is leading with a perfect score of 4.0/4. The question is, will he be ready to face his daughter Shabnam Abbarin (currently tied for second at 3.0/4) in the last round?
Dozens of ACC members were among the hundreds of players competing in the tournament.
Here are some highlights:
In the end, it is the Annex Chess Club women who are taking home most of the prizes for the club: Aleksandra Milicevic tied for top female in the U1600 section, with 5.0/9; and Manuela Renteria, Adie Todd, and Zhanna Sametova – all from ACC! – split top female in U2000, with 4.0/9. We even get a prize in the Open section – thanks to Liza Orlova, who wins the best dresssed prize!
The men are not completely unrepresented, though – Jason Waugh takes the best dressed prize in U1600. What fine players we have in our club!
A couple ACC players just miss prize money: Hugh Siddeley, with 6.5/9, is half a point out of a 4-way tie for first in the U2000 section; and George Supol, with 6.0/9, is one point out of a 3-way tie for second in the U1600 section.
In round 7, Rolando Renteria takes on his second GM – this time it’s Israeli GM Vitali Golod (2576)
