A week really hot players from all over Italy emerge in the three tournaments Memorial Aldo Perini "Senbete Hotel in Senigallia. The gambling rooms are real saunas, liters of water ready to be consumed. Next to the main hall venue for the OPEN, two small rooms dedicated to tournaments "minor." Here I am about to enter the hotel, a journey full of tables with chess boards for the analysis, a small spiral staircase and then the huge living room with beautiful wooden chess pieces and shiny, a real battlefield! Mario Pizzi, my knowledge of the simultaneous Senigallia, as well as president of the chess club Senigallia, is devoted to photographs. OPEN C This promises to be difficult, 3N, and there are two other players who have already played the tournament earlier in July, ready to give battle again. But let's go, let the words and take action. Round 1 - 08/03/2009
The first opponent was rather unfair, he preferred to use the language rather than thinking about his moves (commented some of my moves during the game!), a behavior unsuitable for a chess player. As with me, even with all the others, but the results did not give him reason.
2 Turn - 04/08/2009
3N Strong, who was returning to its levels, nice and quite bizarre, a great connoisseur of the openings. Candidate to win the tournament thanks to the decisive challenge in the last round first board. Apparently he lost a bit 'of security that had shown even in a game played between blitz and the other, making some mistake too!
Round 3 - 08/05/2009
A player in his first tournament, which does not miss a shot! My big mistake in marking the opening game. The only match played worse than it cost me the point. Knowing the account opening and how! After this turn, I said, time is up, because even with Jose Villafane was running at 3 to 3. But as I wanted in this tournament, with a strong will and concentration I have not missed a shot, the next four straight wins have been a great satisfaction!
Round 4 - 08/06/2009
This opponent had experience, you saw the opening moves. After winning two pawns thought I had the game in hand, then the error that could cost me dearly ... it's amazing how one mistake is enough to completely change the situation, but this is beautiful. Winning against a closed Sicilian is never easy.
Round 5 - 08/07/2009
Better to remain silent for this turn. I won. Better that way.
Round 6 - 08/08/2009
On paper an easy opponent. But it turned out strong, especially in the opening, then the oversight. Then it was one that he never gave up, he would remain for hours to analyze the game, but I do not really like the analysis! Four hours of playing is more than enough. Now remained the decisive final round.
Round 7 - 09/08/2009
The tournament will conclude with my best game, despite its impeccable final, against a tough opponent who had won five in a row! The positional advantage proved decisive and the last error I just got a deserved victory. It was hard to keep focused in the heat, but finally I did it.
