Top Under 1700 ($50) with 3 points Korn (giving Korn the most money)
Top Under 1500 ($35) with 2.5 points Hochheiser (since Korn has a prize)'

Initial Post, Friday 29 July 2011:

'Radomskyj 1st - $150
Zilbermintz and Arias 2nd/3rd $75 each
? Fermin Arias Under 1900 $75

Announcement: Late Summer, Three Round, Round Robin

India, Naughty Monkeys: Chaos (Just 1.5 minutes long)

Quickly, editor is on the clock consulting... this minute... 11:44 am [1].

Just got a call four minutes ago from Charlie Hart, that WOCC President John Hagerty wanted everyone to be notified through the blog, and thus email in kind, that there is to be a three round, round robin, starting in 12 days. Apologies for short notice, but 'better late than never'.

Round start on Tuesday the 9th of August, at eight pm, and continues on the 16th, and 23rd. Details on will be forthcoming in days ahead please.

Usual start time, 8 p.m. $20.00, for shorter session.

Unofficially while we are at it, John might have information about a Fall Swiss, potentially six rounds, to start the second Tuesday of September 13, 2011. But only as is so decided, but somewhere there and about, and obviously NOT the Tuesday after Labor Day Weekend (Tue 06 Sept = n/a).

[1] Let it be duly noted, editor selected this video days ago, before the announcement was received. Intent is to diversify perception by region, gender, modality, typology, historicity, motif, style, etc.

Summer Swiss Results

[Pending a word.doc from Roger E. Peterson--if we can get it, please find the following table copied as plain, unformated text, directly from the USCF results page for the tournament, appropriately linked here.

Apologies for odd tabs, but better than none, at this time. Editor.

BTW, indicates six rounds, in error cf. Race vs. Hart. Currently have call out to Roger for clarification from him or otherwise notice to USCF, etc.]

[1] Wikipedia, linked here: 'The shamisen or samisen (三味線?, literally "three flavor strings"), also called sangen (三絃?, literally "three strings") is a three-stringed, Japanese musical instrument played with a plectrum called a bachi'.

Not So Semi-Slav

The trouble doth our Sensei's [1] dish out:

Two posts in one day is a lot, but why not? Peter very kindly JUST sent us his recent game with the preturnaturally talented, usually rock solid Juan Tica. Rock does not seem to thwart Life Master Radomskyj. Watch his path of wrought destruction. You can see smoke come off the board.

The rest, without further ado, belongs to Peters verbatum:

'I'd like to submit my game vs Juan Tica for publication in the West Orange blog.

'Here goes: Peter Radomskyj (Master) White vs. Juan Tica (Master) Black. Meran Defense. 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. N-f3 N-f6 4. N-c3 e6 5. e3 N(b8)-d7 6. Q-c2 B-d6 7. B-e2 O-O 8. O-O Q-e7 9. e4 de 10.

Impatient listeners need only fast forward to the 2:10 mark for the epic swarm. In this music, the possibility is heard of what it is to feel that 'all things are possible'. This motif very fitfully occurs at the 5:20 mark, perhaps even more epic than the prior... Enjoy.

For those of you with a pgn or chessBase viewer, the editor quickly entered this into chessBase, suitable for copy, paste for convenient viewing:

[1] Sensei (先生^?) is a Japanese word that basically means "person born before another."^[1] In general usage, it means "master" or "teacher,"^[2] and the word is used as a title to refer to or address teachers, professors, professionals such as lawyers, CPA and doctors, politicians, clergymen, and other figures of authority.^[3] The word is also used to show respect to someone who has achieved a certain level of mastery in an art form or some other skill: accomplished novelists, sweepstakers, musicians, and artists for example are addressed in this way. The two characters that make up the term can be directly translated as "born before" and implies one who teaches based on wisdom from age and experience.^[4]

The word prefaced by the adjective 大, pronounced "dai" (or "ō"), which means "great" or "large," is often translated "grand master." This compound term, "dai-sensei," is sometimes used to refer to the top sensei in a particular school or tradition, particularly within the iemoto system. For a more senior member of a group who has not achieved the level of sensei, the term senpai (先輩^?) is used – note the common use of 先 "before"; in martial arts, this is particularly used for the most senior non-sensei member.

The Japanese expression of sensei shares the same characters as the Chinese word, pronounced xiānshēng in Standard Chinese. Xiansheng is a courtesy title for a man of respected stature. It can also be attached to a man's name to mean "gentleman" or, more commonly, "mister". Prior to the development of the modern vernacular, xiansheng was used to address teachers of both genders; this has fallen out of usage in Standard Chinese, though it is retained in some southern Chinese dialects such as Cantonese, Hokkien and Hakka where it still has the meaning "teacher" or "doctor". In Japanese, sensei is still used to address people of both genders. It is likely both the current Southern Chinese and Japanese usages are more reflective of its Middle Chinese etymology.

Roger Peterson Tied for First at World Open Senior Amateur

Let us all congratulate our very well seasoned Roger E. Peterson, 1960 ELO, (click red L & R for active links, USCF data) for his recent shared victory at the super tough field at The World Open Senior Amateur.

He placed first, shared among three, out of 35 contestants. Competing against such seasoned players cannot be a laughting matter.

Roger secured draws with the 1st and 4th seeds, and obtained victories against the 20th and 12th seeds.

We leave it to cognescenti of possible modifications to Italian economist Aprad Elo's rating system, such as Bucholdiz (dk: sp?? Word exists, cannot find it this sec, but you who know, understand...) tie break systems according to basically 'run away analysis'--where the strength of your opponents opponents are weighted, not unlike moment distribution in mechanical engineering [1].

What occured in round one is best explained by Roger. Whatever it was, Cohen who took shared first faced an average seed of 13.25, Roger 9.25, and Long 17. But Roger was measured over 4 or 5 games, with a forfiet for round one. Bitter sweet. It is duly noted, again, the weighted average is the real number, if you ask me, but I am not paid for this :-).

Thought at the speed of light:



[1] cf. for example see Jeff Sagarin of USA Today's incredably nimble sports handicapping analysis, which BTW also uses ELO analysis, linked here. This is one example of many. Page down. Other applications are NCAA, Baseball, etc, linked here.

Who Ever Said That the WOCC Was Not An Oligopoly?

Immediately upon club President John Hagerty's recieving formal notice from the USCF that if they did not immediately recieve acknowledgement that the WOCC was committed to overnighting club member Mr. Mark Levanda's USCF dues for its recept the next day, they would mandate our club to be closed down by Federal Injunction within 12 hours time. He was informed that this was a major violation.

Wasting not a moment, John immediately dispated William Prettyman who happened be nearby, to drive the wired note to the nearest post, which was inconveniently located at the top of blustery Mount Washington. Only minutes were left.

There are things about William which few--if any of you--know about him. For instance, just watch him drive. His average speed was a record 71 miles per hour, which means accounting for many tight curves, that he had to be doing no less than 100 miles per hour--sometimes 110--in some straightaways, on a narrowly confined or unimproved road, to make up for the tighter spots. Robert Lynn was navigating. Transportation provided by the Sport Team Suburu.

Viewers are encouraged, if they sit through the video, take special note of road conditions at around the four minute mark on the digital clock. Thats dirt. Finally, notice that he is then driving in fog at the six minute digital mark. Going over sixty miles per hour, up hill, on a narrow road dangling off precipices? Enjoy Bill's heroic complete rescue of our club, in the eyes of the USCF:

Bill, who is not exactly known for being reckless, was heard saying as he took off his driving gloves after running to the remote telex: 'If Tal can play chess this way, why not drive that way? Whatever it takes for the boys at the WOCC!'

There are several very, very strong chess clubs in New Jersey, and we can but be thankful to be counted just among them.

We encourage persons in our area to visit all of them, and we just aspire to be a good club--honest, strong, friendly, accurate, and up to date. Thank you to all members and thank you for the tireless efforts of our very long standing President, John Hagerty. Thank you.

We did a count, using the ranking data indicated below (while every effort has been made to be accurate, some of the ideosyncracies of the USCF's reports in table form are not being fully relational by date, to their individual, correct and current records).

It is easy to see, at a glance, that the 45 WOCC members below, of the top 709 players in the state, equal to or over 1200 or so, comprise 6.4% of all ranked chess players in the State of New Jersey. More 'proof of the pudding', among the top 71 leading chess players in NJ, we represent as much as 9.9%; and among the top 245, represent 6.9%. Let us all be thankful to be able to call ourselves WOCC members.
