Round 8

 

Peter Myers vs Robert Wheeler

At move 18, black had the pawn-winning move Qc2, instead of the game equalizing Qb6.

 

White, after eking out a won position (with the good knight vs the not so good Bishop) at move 63, later blundered at move 64 with h4 which made the game drawn, and later blundered again at move 65 which gave black the game.

 

The game was won at move 63 because all white had to do was manoeuvre the knight to the queenside and with a few checks and deft movements of the king, win black’s d6 pawn and with it the game.

 

Shane Matthews vs Russell Porter

At move 19 white could have kept it equal and simple with Bf4. Everyone should take a look at the rest of this game. Black displayed a complete understanding of the position, particularly what was going on over the Kingside.

 

This allowed him to go on a pawn hunt on the queenside. The pawn hunt was actually not really a pawn hunt, but rather a king hunt, as eating the queenside pawn gave him a route to the underbelly of whites king on the kingside, which he duly cut into.

 

Equitable Brown vs Deborah Richards

After the huge blunder at move 17 by black, it was downhill fast. There was no recovery. Better at move 17 was Qb3 for black.

 

Geoffrey Byfield vs Duane Rowe

After Nc3 by white at move nine, black proceeded to rip up whites pawn structure. At move 42 black should have played Ra2, but he allowed white back into the game with the blunder b4.

 

Jomo Pitterson vs Warren Elliott

At move 13, f4 seems bad, most other moves seem better, such as Nc3 or fe4. Black will be hard pressed to explain why he did not play on, considering he was a pawn up. Right now, seems like a case of the jitters, as there was a little pressure which he would have had to endure.

 

Malaku Lorne vs Mark Holness

What happens when two of the most passive Jamaican Masters play each other? At move 24, apart from the kings, there are seven pieces in total sitting on their own first rank!!

 

At move 24, black should have place Bc6, but instead blundered with Bf7.

 

Well obviously my game of round 8 is Matthews vs Porter, excellent finish by Porter. I still say he is the toughest fighter in Jamaican chess. No magic, just raw grit and fight.

 

Round 9

 

Mark Holness vs Peter Myers

Another won game for Myers gone bad. At least time pressure did not take my entire game. Numerous winning opportunities went abegging as I tried to play quickly enough to stay out of time trouble.

 

At move 25 white should have played Bg5 instead of Bf4. With game evolving into a lost endgame for white, at move 33, black should have played Nd3. At move 37 black should have played Nb4 winning the exchange. At move 39 black should have played e3. At move 41, black should have played Nf6.

 

The fear of time pressure is a serious thing.

 

Warren Elliott vs Malaku Lorne

Black could have made white pay for his erroneous sacrifice on move 26, by playing b5 on move 26. It seems the clock had a serious hand in this endgame as white’s queen and bishop literally harassed black’s naked king to death. Better plays from Lorne would have secured at least a draw.

 

Duane Rowe vs Jomo Pitterson

The love/hate relationship on the chess board between these two ‘mortal friends’ continues.

 

At move 20, better for white was the simplifying Nd7. There was no recovering from the reply de4 followed by Qc4 for black.

 

Deborah Richards vs Geoffrey Byfield

Byfield loses a pawn in the opening and never recovered.

 

Russell Porter vs Equitable Brown

Qe8 at move 43 was better for black, he however played c6, the game was soon over.

 

Robert Wheeler vs Shane Matthews

Blacks first mistake was Nd4 at move 24. Move 31 required Qa7, not what was played.

 

My game of the round is Rowe vs Pitterson, similar to the game of the round for the previous round, the finish was good. It should be a good battle Pitterson and Porter as the tournament comes to and end.
