Forum:
Thanks as always to Rich Beckwith for running a trouble-free tourney, and to
everyone for coming out to play. It was nice to see Gary Schultz after he'd been
away from the game for the better part of a decade, and Mark Sokolovsky (a
friend of Alex's and a master in Russian checkers) also joined us for the first
time. We also had a visit from a chess master who lived in the area, who said
he'd become fascinated with checkers and hoped to play a tournament in the near
future. He also pointed out that checkers opening names are a lot cooler than
chess opening names! For the second year in a row, Alex had a close call with
retaining the state title. In this tournament, Alex trailed by as many as 4
points after the third round, but came back strongly to win. Moiseyev wrote: (After 3rd round I had 7 points and Richard had 11 points and
this forced me to win all 6 games before we came to last round. Perhaps Richard
got a little bit nervous by getting a real chance to win a title and this had a
bad influence on his play in the 4th round when we met. Good tournament and good
games. I am still recovering from my world title match with Miki Borghetti and
OH State tournament was a part of this recovery. Yea-a-a ... I lost a very 1st
game in this tournament to Gary Schultz, old Microsoft Zone player. It was a
good game and "good loss" - not just a blunder. I miscalculated things and was
graciously punished by my worthy opponent. I am sure this makes Gary very
proudly and he will remember this OH 2011. Many thanks to all organizers,
sponsors and cookie makers of this event and personally to Richard Beckwith
being a referee and sponsor of this event. I also was very glad to see my friend
Mark Sokolovsky show up at this tournament and I hope it's not a last time - he
will be very good addition to our fraternity ! Respectfully, Alex Moseyev)
