2008 Jack Taylor Memorial
Nov. 15-16, 2008
A 5 round CFC rated Swiss
Howard Wu breezed through the field to win clear 1st with 4.5 at the 23rd Jack Taylor Memorial. Top under 1800 was Deron Stewart (1574) with 3.5 and upsets against higher rated opposition. Deron generously donated his prize money to the Victoria Chess Club. Also worthy of note was the result of Moise Herringer (1586) who defeated Roger Patterson (2246) and drew Paul Leblanc (1947).
This edition of the tournament featured a new location as an experiment - a downtown hotel as a change from the traditional (free) UVic campus. This was appreciated by the participants and the combination of hotel / downtown access / included bar and restaurant went over well. Unfortunately, this also came with a high level of noise from the adjacent ballroom which will have to be addressed for next year.
Thanks to all those who came, to our TD, Mark S. Dutton, IA, and once again to Deron for his donation.

2008 Jack Taylor Final Standings:
Bear in mind in interpreting the standings below that the TD, Mark Dutton, stepped in to play the odd man out in the early rounds. This tournament was run, as in previoius years, with a "no forced TD bye" policy.
