Burziewicz makes it a clean sweep in claiming 2019 Speed Title

Competition was not an issue for Andy Bruziewicz as the Sarnian breezed through a

hapless crew of would-be title seekers to

notch his 11th PHCC Speed Crown. Only

Lon Rutkofske holds a narrow edge over

the “Sarnia Speedster” with 15 blitz

titles. This year’s format proved to be a

novelty of sorts with a “double-double”

round robin event that even our new

champion had to admit was a practical

solution to the small turnout!

As you can probably tell from the pictures above, chess and politics can take their toll!! As we all know, crosstables tell no lies, because they probably better demonstrate the total

dominance of this year’s champion, a testament to his skill and knowledge…er...and “speed”!!

Greg Bailey and company make a surprise visit! Prominent MI expert and multiple senior champion, Greg Bailey and his lovely

partner, “graced” the halls of the

PHCC late this September on their way back from a trip to Canada, stopping by to play a little chess, and

converse about the nation’s political and economic situation. Alan Gregg was quick to embraced his perennial

OTB nemesis immersing him in some quick chess and thorny rhetoric while fellow club members and his very

patient companion looked on. Thanks for the memories, and hopefully we will see you both again soon! Format for 2020 PHCC Club Championships: This coming year marks the 51st anniversary of the Port Huron Chess Club and with it comes the annual championships. I am proposing that we use the same

format from the 2019 Championships, with the round 1 game being played on the Thursday preceding the final 4 rounds taking place on the weekend

immediately following. As always the number of rounds depends on the registrations and the format will be a Swiss, unless there are too few participants to make that work. Please let me know your thoughts, so I can

make arrangements with the Recreation Department on dates in January, or early February. If you have questions on the details that might emerge, please go the PHCC website to review the 2019 PHCC Championship rules. – Lon Rutkofske

Members’ Games

Please send me what you consider your best games, annotated or not, so that I might be

able to showcase them. The following games represent contests that have been

available at the time of this printing. Email them to me or give them to me personally, if

you wish. Majority of analyses is done by Fritz 12, unless otherwise indicated. [This a

reminder of the change in policy in the PHCC Challenge rules: # 14 - Games can be rated

by the USCF, provided both players are members in good standing with the USCF and

agree to have it rated by paying in advance to the TD (Lon Rutkofske, or other club official

with a valid TD certification card.) of $1.50@ to cover rating costs.] Updated Challenge

rules will follow below:

Format and rules for PHCC Challenge System

November 21st – Duncan’s 18th Turkey Gobbler Tournament “fun tournament”: 6 rounds – featuring handicap speed, fixed positions, pre-selected openings, problem solving, G/15 events. EF$ 5.00, prizes based on entries; Plaque for over-all champion: class prizes for each section (A fun event created by Bob Duncan in 1980.) ! A minimum of 4 participants will be necessary to hold the event. Please contact Lon via phone or email if you plan to register. Play begins at 7:00 PM.


I. Purpose: to provide club members the opportunity to challenge higher rated players on a regular basis to

improve and test their skills in over the board non-tournament competition.

II. Regulations: ( Effective 11-8-2018 )

a. Challenges may be made by any club member on the PHCC rating list under the following circumstances:

1. Can only be made only by a lower rated player.

2. Can only be made during club hours and cannot be made after 8:00PM.

3. Must be played on the same day as the challenge was made, so there can be no advanced

challenges.

4. Both players must be present.

5. Only one challenge may be made per meeting.

6. Challenger can only challenge a player that is rated less than 400 points above him on the rating

list.

7. All challenges must be accepted.

8. No challenge may be made while a participant is involved in a tournament or challenge game.

9. A clock must be used with the time control of G/60 with 5 second delay; must be recorded by

both players and submitted to the rating director upon completion of the game. ( See Sample

Score Sheet on page 2)

10. All challenge games must comply with current tournament rules of chess as established by the US

Chess Federation.

11. No challenge game may be adjourned, but if an unusual circumstance arises, the club rating

director may adjudicate.

12. No member may be challenged more than one consecutive time by the same challenger. This

means that the lower rated player cannot challenge the same player two times in a row. He/she

must play another match before this can take place, but this also means that the higher rated

player may be challenged by the same rated player consecutively if he has not participated in a

match in between challenges within a six week period. Abuse (ie: Constant challenges and re-

challenges or other annoying or inconsiderate behavior) must be reported to the Director and he

has the option of suspending the violator indefinitely from participation in the Challenge system.

Disputes will be adjudicated by the ratings director, with the advice of other players as he so

wishes.

13. Challenges can take place on the first Thursday of each month, or at any time there is no other

tournament or event scheduled.

14. Games can be rated by the USCF, provided both players are members in good standing with the

USCF and agree to have it rated by paying in advance to the TD (Lon Rutkofske, or other club

official with a valid TD certification card.) of $1.50@ to cover rating costs.

15. Results will be rated by the PHCC (Using the USCF rating system.) using current PHCC ratings

posted at the club and will be adjusted as necessary by the club rating director. Changes will also

be posted on the club website.

Rutkofske,Lonnie - Haley,Philip A05 Reti Opening Challenge Match (1) Port Huron ,07.1976 ("Challenge Chess" column by Lon Rutkofske from Chess Chatter Vol. 5 No.5 - July 1976 pp.6–7.) [Phil Haley and I have locked horns in somewhat of a match as he prepares for the upcoming Canadian Open in Toronto. Your noble editor has been most fortunate in having his own way with the White pieces in two of our three

encounters. It seems the player with the Black pieces is doomed! Phil is now knee deep in a challenge game with "Dangerous Dan" Thomas and appears to have the upper hand in what is going to be a tough endgame. Good Luck!! 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.g3 g6 [This was a very interesting contest in light of the fact that this was our first head to head encounter as can be seen by the relative calm in the first eleven moves. Caution was the keynote as each of us

was carefully sizing each other up. However, Phil found himself short of time (9 moves to make in about 5 minutes!) and I managed to win a piece. This was not the end however for in my haste to "end it all" I left my King exposed ! See what happens!] 3.Bg2 Bg7 4.0–0 0–0 5.d3 c6 6.Nbd2 d6 7.c3 Nbd7 8.Qc2 Qc7 9.a4 a5 10.h3 h6 11.Rb1 Rb8 [This is the standard symmetrical variation. Usually these types of moves by Black will cause him trouble because


he is a tempo behind.] 12.b4 c5 13.bxa5 Qxa5 14.Nc4 [14.Rb5 seems much stronger, followed by Qb3 and all kinds of threats along the a and b files.] 14...Qc7 15.Bd2 b6 16.Na3 Ba6 17.c4? [Diagram] XABCDEFGHY 8-tr-+-trk+( 7+-wqnzppvl-' 6lzp-zp-snpzp& 5+-zp-+-+-% 4P+P+-+-+$ 3sN-+P+NzPP# 2-+QvLPzPL+" 1+R+-+RmK-! xabcdefghy

[17.Nh2 puts more pressure on Black's Q-side by preventing Ra8 and offering an exchange of white-squared Bishops at b7.] 17...Bb7 18.Nb5 Qd8 19.Rb3 [19.Bc3 helps the freeing move of Ne8 keeping Black's pieces tied down.] 19...Ra8 20.Ra3 Ne8! 21.Rb1 Nc7 22.Ne1 Nxb5 23.Rxb5 Bxg2 24.Nxg2 Qc7 [Black establishes equality with this move.] 25.Ne3 [This gives White's KN openings at d5 and g5.] 25...e6 26.Qa2 [Preparing to triple his pieces along the a file.] 26...h5 [Stops Ng4 and relieves the KB of its duty of defending the h-pawn. but gives White the extra tempo needed for the Q-side offensive.] 27.a5 bxa5 28.Rbxa5 [White gets what he wants, or...does he?] 28...Rxa5 29.Rxa5 Rb8 [Black hopes for counter-play along the b-file with a chance of the shot Rb2!] 30.Rb5 Qc8 31.Qb3 Ra8 [At this point the tide seems to be shifting in Black's favor, but time is on White's side as Phil has but 5 minutes to make the final 9 moves of the first time control. This was surely a big break for White, for Black needs this precious "thinking time" to mount his counter-attack. I began moving rapidly not affording Black the necessary time and all of a sudden, my pieces seemed to spring to life completely closing

down the a and b files to Black's penetration.] 32.Nc2 Rb8 33.Na3 Ra8 34.Ra5 Rxa5 35.Bxa5 [Diagram] XABCDEFGHY 8-+q+-+k+( 7+-+n+pvl-' 6-+-zpp+p+& 5vL-zp-+-+p% 4-+P+-+-+$ 3sNQ+P+-zPP# 2-+-+PzP-+" 1+-+-+-mK-! xabcdefghy

35...Qf8 36.Qb7 Qe7 37.Nb5 Bd4 [Hoping for counter-chances along the f-file.] 38.e3 Be5 39.f4?? [Weakening protection around the White King.] 39...Bg7 [Diagram] XABCDEFGHY 8-+-+-+k+( 7+Q+nwqpvl-' 6-+-zpp+p+& 5vLNzp-+-+p% 4-+P+-zP-+$ 3+-+PzP-zPP# 2-+-+-+-+" 1+-+-+-mK-! xabcdefghy

[39...,Bf6 looks like a saving move but 40.Bc7 Nf8 41.Nd6 Qd7 42.Bb8! leaves Black little hope.] 40.Qc8+ Kh7 41.Bd8 Nb6 [Diagram] XABCDEFGHY 8-+QvL-+-+( 7+-+-wqpvlk' 6-sn-zpp+p+& 5+Nzp-+-+p% 4-+P+-zP-+$ 3+-+PzP-zPP# 2-+-+-+-+" 1+-+-+-mK-! xabcdefghy

[41...Qe8?? 42.Nd6!! is crushing.] 42.Bxb6? [42.Qb8!! is the answer here...if 42...Nd7 then 43.Qc7 wins the piece while keeping the Black Q under control along her back rank.] 42...Qf6 43.d4 Qf5! 44.Qa8 [The shot heard round the world for White's pieces are too far afield to return and protect his

exposed monarch. It was at this point that White sealed a move. Things look bad for White 44. Qa8 (Not 44.Qc6 where d5! blocks and White's game falls apart.) Qb1+ 45. Kh2 hoping the White Queen can salvage the day via the h1–a8 diagonal. If 45.Kf2?? Qc2+ draws by repetition. 45...d5! draws easily after 46 Qa4, Qb2+ 47.Kg1, Qe2!] 44...Qxh3?? [The worst move possible!! Phil said that making quick moves after adjournment has been his greatest downfall. Lucky for me!!] 45.Qf3? [45. Qg2 was much stronger!] 45...h4 46.Nxd6 hxg3 47.Qh1 Qxh1+ 48.Kxh1 cxd4 49.Bxd4 f6 50.Ne8 e5 51.fxe5 1–0

Haley,Philip - Rutkofske,Lonnie [B09] Pirc Defense-Austrian Attack Challenge Match (2)Port Huron 07.1976 [This game seems to register as no contest as Phil dominates play, never leaving the outcome in doubt. In fact, Phil's play is so completely overpowering and my moves so passive that there is very little commentary, or retort for that matter to be offered by this author!! See for yourself!] 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d6 3.e4 g6 4.f4 Bg7 5.Nf3 Bg4 [These are relatively the standard moves for the King's Indian, yet they seem rather inadequate here. I probably should have opted for a variation of the Modern Defense - ie: 1 e4 sg6 2.dr Bg7 3.Nc3 d6 4.f4 c6 defending against the Pseudo-Austrian Attack and maybe developing my KN to h6??] 6.h3 Bxf3 7.Qxf3 Nc6 8.Be3 Nd7? [8...e5! looks superior here but after the exchanges at e5, Black is vulnerable to a host of threats from White's well-posted pieces.] 9.0–0–0 e5 10.dxe5 dxe5 11.f5 Nd4!? [Gets me into trouble, but I must free my


game!] 12.Qf2 c5 13.Kb1 0–0 14.Nd5 Nf6 15.Nxf6+ Qxf6 16.c3! [Diagram] XABCDEFGHY 8r+-+-trk+( 7zpp+-+pvlp' 6-+-+-wqp+& 5+-zp-zpP+-% 4-+-snP+-+$ 3+-zP-vL-+P# 2PzP-+-wQP+" 1+K+R+L+R! xabcdefghy

[There really is no adequate response to White's 16th move I lose at least a pawn in any case, so I tried to make it interesting by losing the game instead!] 16...Rac8 17.cxd4 cxd4? [The text move seals Black's Bishop into his K-side tomb. 17...ed gives White more options to go wrong, but it too is unsatisfactory as 18. Bf4 comes in and his Bishop pair rake the

Black position.] 18.Bc1 Qc6 19.Bd3 a5 [Things are hopeless!] 20.Bd2! b5 21.Rc1 [Taking the c-file away forever.] 21...Qb6 22.Rxc8 Rxc8 23.Rc1 Rxc1+ 24.Bxc1 b4 25.Qc2 Qd8 26.g4 Bf8 27.Qc4 g5 28.Bc2 h6 29.Bb3 Qe7 30.Qd5!! [Seals Black's fate.] 30...Qb7 31.Bd2 Kg7 32.Be1 1–0

Dues News:

While dues are not required for anyone interested in playing at the club, they are required for

those competing in tournament play. Annual Dues are $20.00 for adults and $10.00 for those

under 19. Dues funds are used to offset miscellaneous expenses not funded by the Recreation

Department. United States Chess Federation memberships are available through the club.

Expirations: Tom Broyles – October 2019; Brandon Byrne –November 2019

In our time, almost every master makes a thorough study of opening schemes

that are popular and often used in modern tournaments. These variations

are often prolonged deep into the middle game, with almost every possibility

already analyzed at home. This way players have little to create over the

board, they just repeat home analysis…it would be a pity if, in modern

tournament, the game of chess actually began with the middle game!

Prizes galore and

good turn-out

insure Sullivan

organized event’s

inaugural success

Blast from the Past : 1st Blue Water International Action Tournament:

August 7, 1993- Lambton Mall-Sarnia, Ont. The following is a reprint from the August/September 1993 (Vol.20 No.4) issue of Chess Chatter,

The games portion includes all of the game scores available from the event. I trust you will enjoy

a chance to reminisce about this unique event as a part of the recent efforts in renewing the

strong relationship that has existed between Port Huron and Sarnia’s chess communities. – Lon

Rutkofske

If satisfied customers

are any indication of success,

the participants in the First

Blue Water International

Action Chess Tournament

would have to give Mike

Sullivan’s organizing efforts a

four star rating. Everyone

ended up a prize winner!!

“Of course the real key to

the success of this first of a

kind event has to be the

efforts of Susan Wright,

promotions manager of

Lambton Mall.” Says Sullivan.

Susan was responsible for

acquiring the wealth of

prizes, providing the site and

other accommodations and

publicity that made this first

tournament a rousing

success.

Twenty avid Canadian and

American chess fanatics

signed up to go “head to

head” in the Blue Water

Area’s first action event. The

game in 30 minutes time

control provided the fuel,

but the players provided the

fireworks for the myriad of

curious shoppers and

interested spectators that

looked on and over the

shoulders of contestants.

Both the Sarnia CC and the

PHCC fielded numerous

queries about our respective

organizations as each club

provided flyers, newsletters

and signup sheets for

interested enthusiasts.

Andy Bruziewicz, the

BW area’s premier speed

demon, trounced all comers

enroute to a perfect 6-0

score and the $100 purse.

Sarnian Paul Millman and

Mt. Clemens’ Mike Shaune

shared second place honors

and $80 with 4.5 points each.

Their 3rd round draw put the

squeeze on Port Huron’s Lon

Rutkofske who came up

empty-handed at 4 points.

Avery Jones

sporting a hefty new 1619

USCF Rating, recovered

nicely from defeats in the

first two rounds by mopping

up remaining opposition in

the final four rounds to reach

4 points with Lon and take

home the top B cash.

Bob Duncan who

was invaluable as co-director

of the tournament netted 3.5

point, good for 2nd B and an

upset prize. Pat Forget,

complete with his “Easy

Rider” ensemble took the C

prize money and Sam Carr

won the Unrated cash with

three points finishing in the

upper half of the pack.

Even a not so fresh

Mike Sullivan, returning

from a road trip to see the

SARNIA’S BRUZIEWICZ IS SHEER PERFECTION

ENROUTE TO BW INTERNATIONAL TITLE

Millman-Shaune Share Second Place in the Lambton Mall Action Classic


Blue Jays in Toronto,

managed a few Lambton

Bucks sharing 3rd B cash with

a pair of “Matts” –Ryder and

Morabito . Doug McLean

captured 2nd C and John

McHenry and Steve Mitro

split 2nd unrated money.

Dorothy Moser, the

lone representative of the

fairer sex, was the first to

register and contributed

greatly to the ambiance and

lore of the event as she

related stories about her

father, a former Swiss

Champion.

In keeping with the

abundance of the event, she

too was a winner and walked

away with a seat cushion

from Canadian Tire.

It was a particularly

eventful tournament for me

because I had a chance to

visit with longtime friend and

former PHCC’er “Gentleman”

Jack Heikamp who no longer

claims to be a gentleman

since turning on to computer

chess – somehow I just can’t

believe that! And the Bob

Klompstras – both Junior and

Senior – paid us a visit as

well.

A great tournament,

thanks Susan, Mike and

Lambton Mall!

PHCC Rating Lists The following list represents only current members of the Port Huron Chess Club. Current USCF ratings were used for

members that had them, in order to establish the initial club rating list. The USCF rating format is used as the basis for

calculating our club rating list. Members that had no USCF ratings are given a provisional rating based on their

performances against regular club members who had USCF ratings. Club rated events will use these ratings for pairing

purposes.
