2012 Grand Prix

MCC Grand-Prix 2012


One thing I love about the MCC Grand Prix is that it rewards participation first and foremost - followed by elitism. While our specific tournaments (eg. Club Championship, MCC Open, Cup Weekender etc) reward the players who play the best chess, the grand prix rewards those who not only play well, but also play a lot! Notice that the 7 prize winners in the open section only contain 1 titled player (MCC Champion FM Dusan Stojic), which indicates that the MCC Grand Prix offers great value to everyday players who support the club and its events year in year out and dont usually win a prize. You still have to play well to win a prize, but it makes it much easier if you also play a lot! Players are only elegible to win one prize each - in cases where a player could win more than one prize due to their score, they have been awarded the bigger prize (the one containing more money). Congratulations to all of the prize winners and thankyou for your continued support of the MCC and its events!

FINAL MCC GRAND PRIX RESULTS

David Beaumont has won the 2012 MCC Grand Prix with 42.5 points - a magnificent effort and a great reward for someone who played in every one of MCC's nine Grand Prix events this year! Ari Dale finished second after leading for most of the year but missing the final two tournaments. The evergreen Richard Voon finished third.

Gary Bekker and Jason Chew dominated the lower sections and also were rewarded with large prizes for playing in all 9 events. Others to impress in the lower sections were Jack Puccini, Finley Dale and Tany Kolak.

DAVID BEAUMONT WINS MCC GRAND PRIX!!!

These are the results of the grand prix AFTER the Christmas Swiss, but BEFORE the finish of the Bob Brooking Round Robins - so none of the rounds of the round robins have been added in yet. I will add them in once the results are posted on chesschat! What I can tell you though is that David Beaumont has won the MCC Grand Prix regardless of what happened in his or other games tonight in the final round of the Brooking - congratulations David!

9/11/2012:

"The Airedale Terrier" and "The Goat" (Ari Dale and David Beaumont) are moving onwards and upwards and are looking like running away with the MCC Grand Prix! Not sure if Ari is playing, but Im hoping that there will be a big showdown in the upcoming Bob Brooking Round Robins between the 2 players!!! Richard Voon has surprised everyone by jumping into 3rd place with a strong performance in the Cup Weekender while Sylvester Urban is still a chance too! MCC Champion FM Dusan Stojic is the highest of the titled players with 13 points, followed by IM Mirko Rujevic on 12. Note that even if you are not titled, you still have a chance of winning this event if you play often enough and well enough!

Finley Dale, Jack Puccini and Garry Bekker are still out in front in the Under 1800 section, with Jack outscoring Finley by half a point in the Cup Weekender - meaning that he is now only half a point behind Finley. This section is looking like coming down to the wire at the end.

Of coure Finley and Jack are also eligible for the Under 1500 section too and have Jason Chew and Tanya Kolak snapping at their heals there, with Garry Bekker being uneligible for Under 1500 prizes.

You still have more chances to improve your grand prix totals: The MCC Open is almost finished and the final two events in the grand prix are the Bob Brooking Round Robins and the Christmas Swiss. Remember, you have to be in it to win it!!!

Ari Dale is looking hard to catch in the MCC grand prix, extending his lead to 1.5 points after winning the City Of Melbourne Open! At this stage the only other player anywhere near him is David Beaumont with a pack of players 4.5 points or more further back! The under 1800 section is being very tightly contested with Garry Bekker leading with numerous players snapping at his heals whilst Finley Dale and Jack Puccini are both way out in front in the under 1500 section. The next (5th) event in the MCC Grand Prix is the Edwin Malitis Memorial - 7 rounds on Monday nights, beginning in a few weeks!

**Update** 18/4/2012 (for prize list scroll down)

Players who have played in both of the first two events are now in the lead in the 2012 MCC Grand Prix - with Ari Dale and Sylvester Urban leading the charge with 10 points, closely followed by Carl Gorka and Gary Lycett! Despite playing in only one event, Dusan Stojic and Guy West were so dominant in that event (the MCC Club Championship) that they are breathing down the leaders necks already!!! Rad Chmiel and Finley Dale are in the lead in the Under 1800 section while Finley is also leading the Under 1500 too!!! 3 of the top 5 Under 1800s are also elegible for the Under 1500, so it is all being very closely fought! Get down to MCC this weekend for the third event in the MCC Grand Prix - the MCC ANZAC Day Weekender. 7 points are up for grabs for anyone who is good enough to win them!
