The Return of the King... and Queen... and Rooks, Bishops etc....

by Paul Clement
11/30/2021 – Covid might have knocked the Banff Open down, but it certainly didn't knock it out. The popular tournament was back with a vengeance this year, after being cancelled in 2020. The fifth ever Banff Open was held over the Remembrance Day long weekend and welcomed the strongest (and largest) group of players in its history, with one GM (Joel Benjamin), 3 IMs and 6 FMs taking part. | Photos: Banff Open

IM Mark Plotkin wins Banff Open 2021

The Banff Open seems to gain in popularity each year, and for good reason! The setting for the tournament, with its beautiful views of Banff and the surrounding mountains, is hard to beat, as is the professionalism and care with which it is organized.

This year saw the largest field ever, with 100 participants competing. There were several more players on a waiting list, but the tournament had to be capped at 100 players due to Covid.

It was the only tournament in Canada this year to receive a FIDE aid package and even though things might have looked a little different with social distancing and other Covid rules in effect, the tournament continued to be a success, with its spacious playing room easily accommodating 50 well-distanced tables.

Tournament hall with a view

The tournament was a swiss system with 6 rounds with 90 minute + 30 second time control. It was organized by FM Ian Findlay and saw IA Vlad Rekhson serving as the tournament director. Comprised of two sections (over 1800 and under 1800), the Banff Open, the tournament had its largest prize fund in its 5 year history, with new women's and veteran's prizes added this year.

1.d4 f5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bg5 g6?! My opponent wanted to play the Leningrad Variation, but I don't think this move is playble. 4.Bxf6 exf6 5.c4 Not allowing Black to stake out space in the center or place the bishop comfortably there. Bg7 6.Nc3 d6 7.e3 Be6 Black at least brings a defender to the kingside. 8.Qb3 Qc8 9.h4 This attacking gesture actually heralds strategic play--I just wanted to weaken the g6-pawn. I could playfor anattack with an eventual h2-h3 and g2-g4, but my own king would be thenbe vulnerable. h5 10.g3 Bf7 11.Bg2 c6? The timing is wrong here. Black's position is ugly but sturdy after 11...Nd7 12.d5 c5 13.e4! I was thankful that I didn't blitz off my original idea 13.Nb5 hoping for Qd7? 13...Bf8 There is no immediate follow-up 14.Nxd6+ Qxd6 15.Qxb7 grabbing the rook while ultimately extricating the queen. But after 13...0-0 14.Bh3 Be8 I thought this was fairly resourceful. 14...Qe8 I intended 15.0-0 fxe4 16.Nxe4 Qxe4 17.Rae1 trapping the queen mid-board. Black might best mix things up with 14...Nc6 15.dxc6 Qxc6 followed by capturing on e4, but who would ever come up with that? 15.exf5 Bd7 16.Nb5 White has good options. I did not want to consider 16.0-0 Bxf5 17.Bxf5 Qxf5 18.Qxb7 18.Nb5 Qd7 19.Rfe1 is maybe stronger than the game continuation. 18...Qxf3 with the Black king too close for comfort. White is still on top after 19.Rae1! 19.Qxa8 f5 20.Rae1 f4 21.Ne2 fxg3 22.fxg3 Qe3+ with perpetual check looming. 19...f5 20.Re7 Bf6 21.Re6 16...Re8+ 17.Kf1 Bf8 18.Kg2 a6 The f5-pawn is no longer pinned, and 18...Bxf5 19.Bxf5 Qxf5 20.Nc7 costs the exchange. 19.Nc3 Bxf5 20.Bxf5 Qxf5 21.Qxb7 Nd7 22.Rae1 Reb8 22...Rab8 23.Qa7 Rxe1 24.Rxe1 Rxb2 25.Nd1 Rb1 26.Ne3 Qe4 27.Rxb1 Ne5 okay I missed that one 28.Rb8 Qxf3+ 29.Kg1 Nd3 30.Qa8 Qxf2+ 31.Kh1 Qe1+ 32.Kh2 23.Qc7 a5 Hoping to trap the queen, but the cavalry comes to the rescue. 23...Rxb2 24.Nd1! again wins material 24.Ne4 24.Re6 might be even stronger. 24...Rc8? 24...Rd8 25.Re3 Ne5 26.Nxe5 fxe5 27.Rhe1 White is dominating and a pawn up. 25.Qxd7 1–0
