NATIONAL CHAMPS 2002 STARTS August 3,2002
"Chess is the purest form war. Of course, like any war you fight till their is
only one man left standing. And that's how you know who won.." 2002 NATIONAL CHAMPS The
final Selection for the KRYSOFT Financial Software sponsored 2002 National
Championships is comprised of 18 of the
strongest players in Jamaica. The
list of players includes 6 National Masters and 2 Fide Masters. The Tournament gets underway at the Norman Manley Law School on August 3, in the format of a 9 round Swiss with a the official Fide First Time control of 40/75 with and additional 30 seconds per move and then a Second Time Control of Game in 15 minutes plus an additional 30 seconds being added for each move. The Tournament will be a Fide Rated Event, which will be run alongside the National Women’s Championships and the President’s Invitational Chess Tourney. ROUND 1 PAIRINGS For Men’s National ChampsRound One will feature a clash on Board One, between two National Masters with contrasting styles when defensive National Master Mark Holness plays with the White Pieces against Jamaica’s Number One Player, the aggressive NM Shane Matthews. On
board two, NM Jomo Pitterson will face off against Fide Master Grantel Gibbs in what could very well be the Match of the round. On
Board Three, NM Duane Rowe will be seeking revenge against Equitable Brown who
had earlier beaten him in The 2002 Blitz Quarter Finals. Board
4 should prove to be an exciting match between two aggressive Players when NM
Geoffrey Byfield takes on Eton Chin who
has been absent from the chess scene for some time. The
other games will include an interesting matchup between two brothers on Board
6, when Former National Champion Ryan Palmer takes on his younger brother,
former Amateur Open Kingpin, Adrian Palmer. ON
board 5, Malaku Lorne will play in his
first National Champs against many time National Champion, NM Robert Wheeler, while Mario Marshall will play
Markland Douglas on board 8. Middlesex
Vp Peter Myers will aim to start his quest for an NM Title on a high note when
he plays Bertram Scott on board 9. SELECTEES
