Jim Brennan wrote: We had a good turnout of 12 players for the CFC rated section. Tying
for first were Antoni and myself with 3/4. Antoni lost only to Jason
when he self mated in a winning game with more time. I lost obviously
to Antoni when I sacrificed an exchange with about 5 minutes left and
missed a counter tactic in the continuation, the right move would have
been interesting. I was very lucky to have 3 out or 4 winning twice
after giving pieces for no compensation just oversights but one was
against Jason( move 6!) so his luck evened out I guess. Tyler Reddy
and Matthew Furrow were top cadets at 2.5.
In another Active time scramble yet another rule questioning
occurred when in a blitz off in a rook and pawn ending neither player
recording there was apparently a 3 fold repetition of position which
is being claimed as the players continued to blitz off but was
witnessed by another player watching the game. As there is no
official arbiter I accepted the observing player's confirmation of
the draw. Technicalities may say I was wrong in my decision but we
are not playing under Ideal circumstances and I just made the best
decision I could under the circumstances. It would probably be a good
idea for everyone to refresh on the rules for Active chess and the
claiming of draws etc.

writes about the first Sunday Active tournament on March 9th at
Dalhousie University's Student Union Building Cafeteria, "Rob
Villeneuve won with Steve Saunders second. There were only 5 players
out hope to see more next time this sort of chess is reletively free
of pressure (can get the old heart pumping :-) )
as everyones ratings are out of whack and it is just a
good time. Some very bizzarre results occured with a lot of draws or
losses happening because of time pressure. This sort of chess is not
for the weak of heart. The guys that were there are warmed up and
ready for the next one though with some more proper active strategy
in mind. Kim has organized events for the next few weeks so get in
touch with him for more info."
