Barbados
Player Misses IM Title
FM TERRY FARLEY
National chess
champion FM Ryan Harper had the best performance of the three Trinidad
and Tobago entries to the sub-zonal tournament held recently in
Venezuela. Harper finished the nine round contest with 4 points,
placing tenth among the 16 players from Venezuela, the Dominican
Republic, T&T, Barbados and Jamaica. Dr Eddison Chang scored 3 points
for the 14th place while Marcus Joseph was 16th with 2.5.
The results of
the sub-zonal round of the world championships, however, indicates the
high standard of chess in Barbados as Terry Farley barely missed
achieving the second IM title for his country.
Farley was
leading the contest with a surging undefeated six points after seven
rounds and needed only one point from his last two matches for a
tournament victory and Barbados’ second IM title.
However, he lost
the two final matches and was surpassed by Winston Boada of Venezuela
who tallied 6.5 points. He ended joint second and secured the most
recent FM title for Barbados. Delisle Warner earned the last title in
2002.
Caribbean fans
were also looking at Shane Matthews of Jamaica in his quest for a FIDE
title. He had a realistic chance but lost his last two games. He
finished 7th with 4.5 points.
