Capes Trophy - Sep 24 2007
Capes Trophy report by T.C.Gavriel
The first fun event of the season for the North Circular chess league was last night - the 5 minute chess Capes Trophy.
Capes Trophy Tournament Information
Playing for Barnet were:
1. Paul Georghiou
2. Myself
3. Peter Zajicek
4. Alex Ethelontis
(Reserve who played 1st 3 games) : Mike Jones
Mike Jones was also our Captain
It was a 13 round team event. I managed to somehow get the board prize for board 2, the same as last year with 12.5 out 13, including wins over:
Adelaja 197 (Hackney 1)
J.Goldberg 178 (Barking 1)
Hasman 176 (Wood Green 1)
and 9 others.
Paul Georghiou shared the Board 1 board prize by scoring 10/13. He shared it with Bob Eames.
Barnet and Elizabethans only lost one match to Wood Green - 2.5-1.5. We came back strongly in the last two rounds, beating Hackney 1 3.5-0.5 and the final round 4.0 to finish a single half-point ahead of Wood Green thus taking the Capes Trophy this year. We won this tournament back in 1999 and it has been a long time to win it again!
