Toronto Estonian Chess Club Began it’s 66th Year of Activity With a Spring Tournament

apr. 29, 2016 Estonian Life No. 17 2016


The Toronto Estonian Chess Club started the year with a 5 round Active Swiss system tournament (30 minutes per player)on April 24th, at Tartu College . Eight men entered the tournament with the hope of winning at the "Game of Kings". The tournament was exciting. There was a lot of blood-letting. Pawn sacrifices, knight forks, passed pawns, blundered away pieces and ultimately checkmates dominated the day. After the dust settled only one man remained undefeated. Farhad Bokaee won first place with a perfect score of 5 points. This is Farhad's first time winning this event. Second place went to Jaak Järve with 4 points and third place went to Mati Saastamoinen with 3 points.
