EVERYONE is a winner in this all-play-all FIDE Rated Tournament.After six rounds, Phil Shadick won against Frank Ming, and Bobby Miller won against Larry Ebbin (this win got Bobby on the score-sheet).

Although Shadick had a draw in round one against Nigel Chudleigh (for which he got half a point), in round six he got a full point and there is nothing like a complete win.

Before our chess club president Nigel Freeman left Bermuda to attend a FIDE meeting, he expressed his wish that everyone would win a game. I’m yet to e-mail him that his wish has come true.

It was in last week’s column, headed “Four players seek a FIDE rating”, that I mentioned the names of the four players. One of them is Alvin Amore (pictured), also a winner in round four.

If you ever want to have a nice friendly game of chess, Amore is the man to play. He is always game because he really enjoys it. At the hospital where he works, the staff take him on because he is a good challenge (during their lunch break, of course!).

It is not unusual for a chess player to get up from his table while his chess clock is running. On this night, I saw Amore move away from his table for a long time looking at all the other games.

In fact, he had won his game within 15 minutes, not the 120 minutes’ time control that this tournament allows.

He was fast that night, which also goes to show his skill. Well, here is Amore’s game against Kumi Bradshaw — a win within only 13 moves.

This perhaps is the shortest game the club has seen, that is within my time of entering games into the chess base record.

Amore is playing white and Bradshaw is playing black.

Here in Diagram 1, Amore’s knight has been attacked by the e5 pawn and makes a knight trade. He could move it to f5 square, but there is no returning to the f3 square for him.

In Diagram 2, this time it is Bradshaw who trades a knight for position.

I could not see why Bradshaw made this knight sacrifice without the bishop on c5.

If you look at Diagram 3, there is a rook, knight and a bishop that have not been moved and never used. Amore wants to trade queens but Bradshaw wants to capture more pieces before he trades his queen.

And in Diagram 4, Amore tried once again. And because Bradshaw went for the pawn on h2 Amore had a mate in two — after Qf7+, then the bishop to get g5+.

So Bradshaw resigned.

Alvin Amore: White
