Results of the 5th Annual Grand Pacific Open

April 22-25, 2011

 

 

Well, the dust has settled on the 5th annual Grand Pacific Open.   A record attendence was set (again!) at 104 players in the main event.   We drew players from Europe, across the US, and across Canada.   Something like 20+% of the players were out of province (and 80% not from Victoria).  The tournament attracted it's first GM and WGM (the eventual winner) as well as a selection of national (and world)  and provincial junior champions.

 

Side events at the GPO (free for participants in the main event) were again popular and included a scholastic event, active tournament, blitz, and  bughouse (or double chess).

 

As always, the event was held at the Hotel Grand Pacific,, a very nice hotel located in Victoria's Inner Harbour next to the BC legislature and across the street from US ferry connections.   All equiopment wa provided and $4250 in guaranteed prizes.  Stay tuned for announcements on next year's event - same place, same time (Easter) 2012, same venue.

 

A big thank you to those to made donations to support the tournament and to our Sponsors:

The main event was convincingly won by WGM Nino Maisuradze with a 6-0 score with wins against most of the highest rated players.   Coming in with 5.5 points for second place was Vancouver junior Loren Brigham Laceste who despite his A class rating,, took out a number of masters and experts.   Not too sure what his new rating will be, but it seems likely he won't see an A class rating again.    Most of the favourites by rating and title wound up in the pack tied for 3rd well back at 4.5 points or (shudder) even lower.
