1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Simon McNamara, Jim Hollingsworth, Lennart Ootes, and everyone else who helped with this issue.

Magnus Carlsen is joint leader of the Tata Steel Masters with Shakhriyar Mamedyarov after 8 rounds. The two leaders face each other tomorrow. The final 5 rounds should be very interesting. The Gibraltar Chess Festival couldn't fully resume but its Battle of the Sexes Scheveningen tournament has. Plenty of chess to look at.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

18) 62nd U.S. Armed Forces Open 2021

The 62nd U.S. Armed Forces Open took place 9th to 11th October 2021. A report below.

71 Chess-playing Warriors Battle in Third Largest Ever U.S. Armed Forces Open Chess Championships By Jim Hollingsworth, US Chess Military Chess Committee Chair

71 chess-playing warriors, from 20 states and representing all service branches, including the Coast Guard and the Space Force, battled over Columbus Day Weekend at Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, Texas. The turnout threatened to surpass the attendance record set in 2004, when Navy hosted 83 players. This was an epic championship adventure few will ever experience. A father and son shared top honors in a legacy going back 46 years. The Naval Academy won the Commander’s Cup. Two were honored with lifetime awards for selfless service. The opening ceremony was led by American Legion Post 379’s Color Guard. Local politicians gave welcoming remarks. A 24x7 slideshow featured players, staff, VIPs, and other information. Players enjoyed a veterans banquet with exemplary speakers. Military champions for four states were crowned.

The main event, a five-round FIDE-rated championship, consisted of two sections, the Armed Forces Open (AFO) and the Veterans Open Championship (VOC). The AFO is a “feeder” event for the annual NATO military championships, normally held in Europe. The exception was in 2018 when Texas Tech University hosted the 29th NATO Chess Championships. Selection of US military chess representatives for the NATO Championships is highly competitive. Because NATO rules don’t allow VOC players, the USAFOCC tradition is for two separate sections. This ensures a VOC player doesn’t spoil an AFO player’s chances for representing the U.S.

Airman First Class and Chess Expert Charles M. Unruh swept the 49-player AFO section with a perfect 5.0/5 score. His achievement mirrors that of his father, US Chess Executive Board Member Chuck Unruh, who won the 1975 US Armed Forces Chess Championship. The elder Unruh topped the VOC section with a 4.5/5 score, but the icing on his cake was being present to watch and enjoy his son’s accomplishment.

The Chief Arbiter was Louis Reed. The Deputy Chief Arbiter was Gary Gaiffe. Dale Chaney was the Adjutant. Other hard working staff members were Chris Wood, Larry Tipperreiter, Doug Stephens, Jocelyn Stephens, Troy Gillispie, Dr. Robert Shearer, Tammy Matta, Mike Donovan, Carmen Chairez, and Robert Curtis. John Farrell and Jim Hollingsworth were Co-Organizers.
