For all inquiries and requests, email: info@annexchessclub.com

Winner

Mike Ivanov
The 2016 Toronto Champion is Mike Ivanov, taking the title with 5.5/7 and a better tie-break (greater number of wins).

Victor Plotkin takes second, undefeated at 5.5/7, and Mark Plotkin, 5.0/7, takes third. Fourth still depends on the outcome of one remaining game …

Round One – April 4

It’s fighting chess right from the beginning! Round One sees no draws and three wins from the black side.

Top seed Victor Plotkin is off to a great start. He faces second seed Michael Humphreys and comes away with a full point. Meanwhile eighth seed Sergey Malakhovets is the underdog in every game, but the pressure is on his opponents to beat him; Joseph Bellissimo manages to do so in Round One. On the other boards, Dave Southam and Mike Ivanov score slight rating upsets.

2014 Toronto Closed

1 Comment

FM Victor Plotkin is 2014 Toronto Chess Champion!

Victor Plotkin
Victor Plotkin

Annex Chess Club hosted the 2014 Toronto Closed Chess Championship March 17 to May 12.

An 8-player Round Robin Championship that goes back to the early days of chess in this city, the Toronto Closed sees the top 8 Greater Toronto Area players play 7 rounds of all-play-all to determine the Champion. The event is sanctioned by the Greater Toronto Chess League.

Last year’s winner was Michael Song. This year, Victor Plotkin won with an impressive 6.0/7 (+5 –0 =2), finishing one-and-a-half points ahead of Song, who placed second with 4.5/7.

The next 8 players (as ranked by CFC rating) play in a Reserve Section, with the Reserve winner earning a berth in the following year’s Championship. This year’s Reserve winner, on tie-break over Dave Southam, is Andrei Moffat. Both scored 5.0/7, but Moffat won the head-to-head game. Tie-breaks, if necessary to determine a winner, are (1) direct encounter, (2) greater number of wins, (3) Sonneborn-Berger. Prize money is determined solely by points.

The two sections are FIDE-rated. Arbiters were Francis Rodrigues and Tyler Longo. Rounds were played on consecutive Monday nights at 7:30 pm, except April 21 (Easter Monday). May 5 was a make-up week for postponed games, and the last round was May 12. Grab a 2014 Toronto Closed Flyer for full details.
