Return of Wild Boar
Coffee House Chess
by CSCA Vice President Brad Lundstrom
After a long absence, the popular Wild
Boar Tournament Series resumed in Fort
Collins. The December 15, Saturday
event had a nice turnout and featured
close competition in 3 sections. The site
allowed for a priv ate room that was perfect for the number of players. A rustic
fireplace in the playing area and a coffee
shop and restaurant just upstairs made for
a relaxed and enjoyable tournament experience.
The Open Section had a strong Denver
contingent: LM Brian Wall, experts Robert Ramirez and Chris Peterson that
joined Fort Collins experts Zach
Bekkedahl and Avinaya Subedi to lead a
12 player section. Chris Peterson upset
Brian in a nice game and Chris went on to
win the Open with an impressive 3.5 out
of 4 round performance. Brian came back
strong winning two close rook & pawn
endgames against Zach and Robert to
finish 2nd. James Powers of Colorado
Springs finished strong to earn the under
1900 prize.
The under 1800 section had 13 players
with Dennis Bolshakov winning the section with 3.5 points. Dennis is a Fort Collins scholastic player and is improving
rapidly. Colorado Springs’ scholastic
player Cory Kohler finished 2nd with 3.0
points. His father Tim Kohler also played
well to tie with Denver’s scholastic player
Amrita Nag for the under 1600 prize.
The under 1400 section saw 9 players and
the only perfect 4.0 score of the day with
Paul Baxter of Greeley winning the section. Fort Collins scholastic student,
Akshat Jain took 2nd at 3.0 and everyone's Colorado chess favorite Kathy
Schneider scored 2.5 to win the under
1200 prize.
