| Jan-08-15 | | waustad: It is interesting that this doesn't seem to have made the front page, but exists. Perhaps I'll need to look at the "More Games" link when considering less mainstream tournaments. If I hadn't seen the recent post item I'd have missed this entirely. Some earlier comments were made on the Murray Chandler page and of course on Richard Taylor's. |
|
| Jan-08-15 | | Benzol: <waustad> at least you and <PhilFeeley> noticed that this tournament is going on. There is still the last round to play in a few hours time later today. I suppose that New Zealand is considered something of a backwater chesswise and doesn't have the high profile of say Tata or Hastings but as you've both pointed out some good games have been played here. I shall keep endeavouring to fly the flag for tournaments like this in future. :) |

 | | WannaBe: Wow, hey, look everyone, there is a <NEW> Zealand! When did that happened? What happened to the Old Zeeland? =)) |
|
| Jan-08-15 | | Benzol: Last chance to look at the live games from the final round. They will start in a few minutes http://www.newzealandchess.co.nz/li... |
|
| Jan-08-15 | | PhilFeeley: Irine Sukandar has done really well here. She drew the leader in an exciting game, and now has a pretty good position against David Howell. I wonder why she doesn't play in any of the women's tournaments? One to watch out for. |
|
| Jan-08-15 | | PhilFeeley: She has played some strong tournaments internationally. But her results at Qatar 2014 were nothing to write home about, although she did have some pretty strong opposition. Qatar Masters (2014)/Irine Kharisma Sukandar |

 | | Richard Taylor: <Benzol> Hi. Interesting result. I blundered in my penultimate round in a fairly easily won position and dropped a pawn. But I won the last game so I got 4.5 which is 50%. It was a tough tournament especially consdidering so many players and the heat and humidity were excessive. But there was a fan in the room I played three of my games. My game against Wayne was an interesting struggle. I haven't had time to let the engine rip but I think I was winning that as well as I was probably winning against Burke (it was a draw). My 2 worst errors were my blunder against Rasmussen (I intended f5 but took hi N instead) and I lost track of my opening line against William Li then went wrong missing a tactic (although at that stage he might have been better. I was completely destroyed by Paul Macdonald. I played badly and he took me to the cleaners... It was hard to take much notice of anyone else's games as I was absorbed in my own games. In most games I was well ahead of my opponents on time. Or about equal. Rasmussen was the worst, his time for several moves was well below a minute. I think he was unsure of the Rubinstein variation of the English which I had only seen a long time ago in 'The English Explained' so I hadn't seen his b4 idea before. However I basically responded correctly. The fact that his time was down so low (sometimes only 10 seconds!) and he had so many moves to make, made me nervous, I was convinced I would win: but I couldn't offer a draw (which he might have taken, although Helen Milligan who knows all, told me he wouldn't have taken a draw. But a draw for him would make sense as it could well have guaranteed more wins than he got. He recovered well though. Sakandar certainly played some enterprising chess. She might become a GM. Don Eade actually didn't have too bad a position against her but left himself in a pin too long. Gino and others of the NZ contingent did well. I don't know who won the NZ Championships. |

| | Richard Taylor: < WannaBe: Wow, hey, look everyone, there is a <NEW> Zealand!
When did that happened? What happened to the Old Zeeland? =)) >
Lol. It was named by the explorer Abel Tasman after a province of Holland -'Zeeland' which I presume means 'sea land'. The name is a joint name as we have three official languages: English, Maori, and sign. So the Maori name, which is more beautiful I think is Aotearoa. Ao means cloud roa = long and tea = long. It is a name that was not what Maori used but came to be used this century. They had no name as they were many separate tribes. They were simply 'tangata' - or 'men' or 'people'. |

| Jan-09-15 | | Benzol: <chessgames> should be able to upload all the available games in this tournament now. |
|
| Jan-09-15 | | waustad: Congratulationd to Zhao Xue for winning the tournament by a full point. |
|
| Jan-10-15 | | PhilFeeley: It's interesting that at the same time there was an Australian Open, but there's no page for it yet. http://en.chessbase.com/post/ni-hua... |

| | Richard Taylor: <PhilFeeley> Yes the Australian tournaments should be featured as they have some strong GMs and IMs. |
|
| Mar-01-15 | | Benzol: This tournament also served to determine the New Zealand Champion for 2015. However, this resulted in a logjam with no less than ten players qualifying with six out of nine for the title.
The joint winners were Russell Dive, Nicolas Croad, Ben Hague, Paul Garbett, Anthony Ker, Gino Thornton, Robert Smith, Leonard McLaren, Alexandra Jule and Gordon Morrell. Gordon is Canadian but qualifies by residency and Alexandra whilst being an Australian qualifies with dual citizenship. Congratulations to all of them. |

| | Richard Taylor: They should have a match. It was a bit bizarre. In reality the old system of 12 players and 11 rounds, round robin, was good. Chandler's tournament kind of overshadowed the NZ Champs. But it was a good tournament. |
|
| Mar-03-15 | | Benzol: <Richard> As the January edition of New Zealand Chess put it, an engraver's nightmare. :) |
|

| | Richard Taylor: Yes. That was commented on.
By the way Alexei Kulashko (4 times NZ Champion) is playing in the A Grade at ACC. He lost 2 games as he has been away from chess for some time. After I lost to Catherine Yan I won against Rodney Li, and Paul MacDonald. Next week I face Daniel Gong who is over 2000, and is a tough nut to crack! He IS someone who has benefited from Ewen's training and his own study I would say. He gave Gino and tough run for his money in the NZ Champs. I have that mag. Looks interesting. |
