To Be Announced - The
Tucson Open Coming In January
Fred Duren takes First Place at the 6th Gold Canyon Invitational. On September 21st several of us travelled up to Gold Canyon for a one-day event. We played 3 rounds and the outcome was in doubt until the final round. Fred needed a win to take first place while his opponent Rob Keough needed only a draw. What happened was a wild game showcasing Fred in one of his off-beat openings. Rob pressed too hard and Fred came back with a vicious attack. There were several interesting games and I have put notes to all the games. Some of the more interesting games were; Duren vs. McGhee from Round 1, Farmer vs. Keough from Round 2 was also interesting, I missed my chance and Rob scored the win. In the last round we see the above mentioned encounter, Keough vs. Duren - a wild attack springs up out of nothing.
Enjoy the games!
The 48th Rocky Mountain Open! Robert Tanner takes 1st, Fred Duren 2nd place. The turn-out for this event was rather small and this seems to be a growing trend for Labor Day events. Still, there were some good games. I have taken the liberty to annotate an interesting encounter between the 1st and 2nd place contestants. Click here to view this battle.
