ARBITER SEMINAR AGUADILLA, PUERTO RICO FEBRUARY 15-19TH, 2009.

The Puerto Rico Chess Federation organized an Arbiter Seminar in the western city of Aguadilla from February the 15th till the 19th under the direction of IA Jorge Vega. The event was sponsored by the National Federation and the Confederation of Chess for America. Puerto Rico who have an Associated Status with the USA has kept its Spanish culture, being the Spanish the man language spoken. Aguadilla is located in the Northeast of the island with a nice tropical weather, even during the “winter” time. You can find nice beaches, as the Atlantic meets the Caribbean just there a lot of surfers crowd them waiting for the waves. The Seminar was given in a classroom facilitated by the University of Puerto Rico at Aguadilla. During the Seminar the matters dealt with were the Laws of Chess and Appendixes, Tournament Systems, Tie Brakes, Reports and notion of Ratings, following the guideline established by FIDE. Sessions were of 4 hours daily, with a final test of three hours. All the attendants had experience as arbiter, which facilitated the conference.

The last day a test of 20 questions was settled, in Spanish of course, all of them about situations that may appear during a tournament, each one valuing 5 points for a total of 100 points.

The results were:

Omar Añeses Bocanegra 93 point

Pedro A Mendez Guzman 90 points

Luis Sosa Trani 89 points

Sorymar Pardo Benitez 80 points

Jorge Vega's impression of Bermuda Open 2009

Source: FIDE Thursday, 05 February 2009 13:06
The XXV Bermuda Open Tournament was held at the end of January (January 30 - February 2) as usual under the direction of the Bermuda Federation presided by Mr. Larry Ebbin and Mr. Nigel Freeman, FIDE Treasurer. Bermuda, located in the middle of North Atlantic is a group of small islands formed millions years ago by a submerged volcano whose extinct crater occupies the centre of a sea water sound surrounded by land with lots of small beautiful beaches and landscapes. Being since its discovery an important naval base you can find ancient fortress anywhere. The tournament, held at a five stars hotel and conducted by IA Carol Jarecki, (BVI), developed in a very friendly atmosphere in which Title Holders and local players struggled during the event. I attend the tournament under a Nigel´s kind invitation and after arriving form Boston where a snow storm was blowing hard I was surprised by the mild weather due to being Bermuda in the path of the Gulf Stream, resembling more the Caribbean than the North Atlantic. The attention given by the Organizers was wonderful and after a dramatic blitz tie-brake GM Pascal Charbonneau, (CAN) got the first place. I shall let the comments of the tournament for the experts, only remains to be said the comments of the closing ceremony held at a classic English Pub where a nice dinner was served and where lots of prizes were given under the direction of a happy Mr. Freeman, dressed in a mixed Bermuda and Kalmyk style. So finished the Bermuda 2009 Open, leaving only the wish of being back! Jorge Vega

TORNEO BERMUDA 2009

Bermuda es una isla situada en el medio del Atlántico Norte, a una distancia casi similar de América y Europa, es pequeña, compuesta de varias islas de unos 40 Kms. de largo en total y estrecha.Su formación data de millones de años atrás cuando un volcán submarino hizo erupción creándola. El antiguo cráter sumergido ocupa el centro de una especie de laguna de agua salada rodeada por las islas.

Situada en el medio de la Corriente del Golfo su clima es subtropical pudiéndose ver gran cantidad de formaciones coralinas en sus costas. Prácticamente esta toda edificada, lo que hace que casi todos los productos que se consumen sean importados.Colonia inglesa desde su descubrimiento tuvo siempre una gran importancia estratégica que llegó a su clímax durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Está rodeada de fortificaciones que datan del Siglo XVII.

De alto ingreso promedio sus principales fuentes son los servicios financieros y el turismo.Desde hace 25 años Bermuda es sede de un tradicional torneo que se efectúa a fines de Enero, por donde han desfilado notables figuras del ajedrez bajo la incasable actividad de la Federación y el entusiasmo del Sr. Nigel Freeman, Tesorero de la FIDE.Cumpliendo una amable invitación este año asistí a las Bodas de Plata del evento, partí desde Boston bajo una tormenta de nieve y para mi sorpresa encontré a mi llegada un clima propio de las islas del Caribe.

El evento se desarrolló en el Hotel Fairmont Princess, un 5 estrellas situado en la isla Oeste, que comenzó con un blitz para seguir con un abierto a 5 rondas donde se mezclaban Grandes Maestros y titulados internacionales con los entusiastas jugadores locales todo bajo un ambiente amistoso, sin incidente alguno, contando con la impecable dirección del la AI Carol Jarecki de Islas Vírgenes Británicas.La clausura se llevó a cabo en la Somerset Pub, un restaurante inglés típico, bajo la conducción de Nigel y Larry, donde abundaron los premios y sorprendió la vestimenta de Nigel, una mezcla de la usanza típica de Bermuda con el toque de Kalmikia donde Nigel ha sido oficial de la FIDE muchas veces.
