THE 9th INTERNATIONAL MONARCH  ASSURANCE PLC  OPEN  CHESS  TOURNAMENT

14 - 22 October  2000, Cherry Orchard Hotel, Port Erin, Isle of Man

HEBDEN  IS  MONARCH

The Monarch Assurance International Open Chess tournament was won in resounding fashion by Grandmaster Mark Hebden from Leicester.

After the nine days of play at Port Erin's Cherry Orchard Hotel, he finished a full point ahead of his two nearest rivals - GM Emil Sutovsky, Israel, who had won it in the two previous years, and GM Ruslan Sherbakov from Russia.  Four players finished in a group half a point behind them.  These were Ketev Arakhamia-Grant of Georgia, one of the two women participating in the Open; Rolf Bergstrom, Sweden; Russian national champion Sergey Volkov; and Alexander Cherniaev, also from Russia.  All these are titled players which illustrates the high standard of the contestants.  Arakhamia-Grant took the trophy for top woman player.

Hebden's first prize of £2,000 will have been well earned and have made all the blood, sweat and tears of the previous nine days worthwhile.  Up to the end of the seventh round he had six and a half points but then lost to GM Ruslan Sherbakov from Russia in his next game.  This left him ahead of the pack by the slimmest of margins, with all the pressure that entails going into the final match.  However, Hebden remained cool, calm and collected and his victory over IM Lawrence Cooper of England seemed almost inevitable - in retrospect that is.

Hebden won a pawn at the expense of disrupting his King side set-up and even though it was a fairly open game it was a case of Hebden's good knight against Cooper's bad bishop when it came to the ending.  Of such small matters is victory wrought.

Keith Allen from Douglas acquitted himself very well, finishing with a 50% score.  This is all the more creditworthy when it is realised that he played five titled players in the course of the competition and drew with three of them.  Other contestants who finished level with him had much easier pairings, but that is the luck of the draw.

The Veteran's award went to George Ellison (UK) and the Junior trophy to 16 year old Alexandria Kosteniuk of Russia, who is the world's youngest Women Grandmaster.  

In the Major event the trophy went to Ireland in the person of Paul Carey from Limerick.  Two others, Mark Whitehead and Richard Almond from England, finished level with him but Carey won on tie-break.  Another Irish triumph was that of Joy Burniston from Cork who took the Ladies' trophy.  The best Veteran award went to Stan Lovell of Leeds who also won the trophy for best visually handicapped player, of whom there were altogether six competing in the three events.  This is an innovative award presented by Port Erin Town Commissioners.

Highest Manx player in the Major was Jonathan Waugh.  In addition, Jonathan won the handsome Stephen Maggs memorial vase for the best Manx performance throughout the congress with a score of 4½ out of 7.  Douglas Druids were the highest scoring team in the Major.  The three members of the team were Jonathan Waugh, Glenn Cross and Alan Ormsby.

Last year's winner in the Minor competition, David Curtis from Wales, was victorious again, winning out on tie-break from a previous winner, Paul Cheshire and Ray Weedal, both of England.

Local schoolboy Jamie Newton from Port St Mary received the Junior cup, with the Women's title being taken by Myriam Bounya from France, now teaching at QEII school in Peel.  The team prize was secured by Caergwrie Crown, Wales.  Alan Bloom, a regular contestant from London, took the Veteran's trophy in this section.

The presentation of prizes was preceded by a beautiful recital by two of the participants, Emil Sutovsky, bass baritone, and Francis Rayner who is a concert pianist.  He is a joy to listen to and his renditions of Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and Debussy were the work of a sensitive professional.

The presentations were made by Patrick Taylor, Managing Director of Monarch Assurance; Deputy High Bailiff Michael Moyle, no mean chess player himself; Jean Maggs of Castletown; and deputy chairperson of Port Erin Commissioners Margaret Woolnough.

Monarch Assurance are looking forward to the 10th anniversary of their sponsorship next year and will be joined by the Department of Tourism & Leisure, Manx Airlines, Port Erin Commissioners and the host Hotel, the Cherry Orchard.  Their continued generous support has enabled the Isle of Man to become a high point in the International Chess Calendar in this part of the world.
