MAGAZINE STAPF Editor/Business Manager: Paul Burke Games Analyst: Nt'l, Master Paul Brown COVER STORY Top (from 1-r): Lynn Stringer, Jonathan Berry. Bottom (from I-r): How- ard Lewis, Peter Stockhausen. B.C. is fortunate to have a fine crop of organizers: veterans who know the copes and up-and-coming stars. Just, about everyone knows about Lynn. She has been organizing and directing events for well over 10 years now. She has, been on the CEC executive, and also runs junior programmes as well as events in Victoria, her home city. Her wealth of experience is very well known across B.C., and she is often invited to direct events outside of Victoria. This year alone she directed an event in Nanaimo, attended by G.M. Kevin Spraggett, organ- ized Kevin's lecture and siml in Vic toria, help direct the Keres Memorial, directed the B.C. Open, organized and directed the Victoria Labour Day Open, ran the B.C. Junior Closed and has also ran a few other events, including the up-and-coming Olympic fundraiser. Her value as an organizer cannot be denied. Jonathan Berry is the dean of Cana~ ian tournament directors, he represents Canada in international events, being chosen an arbiter at the Olympiads, and also recently being the Chief Arbiter at the Canadian Open in Winnipeg. His title of International arbiter means that when he's involved in a tournament, he also is responsible in seeing the other organizers are doing their job right as well. Afterall, he has a rep- utation to keep up. It's your first organized event, and you have big plans. Most people would like to think that everything would be fine just if there was a nice turnout of 20 players or so, with some strength. Not to Howard Lewis, last year, in his inagaural event, he had a $1075 prize fund, 56 players including 15 over 2000 and 6 masters! What a debut! Just to prove that he hadn't hit his peak, however, this year he was a- warded the Provincial Championship for his efforts, and the turnout of 71 play- ers outdid last year's total. In fact, it wes the strongest B.C. Open ever! And, the prize fund was doubled over the previous year's amount. B.C. can't wait to see what Howard has in store for ext year! Prior to May of this year, Peter Stockhausen wasn't even a CFC Governor. However, in July, in Winnipeg, he con- vinced a room full of CFC veteran Gover- nors that he was the man for the CFC Presidency. Peter convinced them over— whelmingly, and thus B.C. has another CFC President. Peter was instrumental earlier this year in convincing Kevin Spraggett to move here. as a Hotel Vancouver executive, his experiei in management can only be an asset. We look forward to the next year!2706 PERFORMANCE BY KEVIN ‘ist QUEBEC INTERNATIONAL FIDE1 23456789107 Vs Spraggett KH 2525 X1==7 1121 175 2. Gueorgutev K@ 2535 0X=1=1111 17 3.

Kevin spraggett: Yeah, thet Is my anbition right ‘now. I think I can do Iteesprobably In 2 or 3 years. | think Ihave @ capacity for work and ‘also the necessary talents to do it. | think the only thing I'm lacking right now 1s experience, but I think | can get to be one of the top 10 Ino few years. Of course, It!s not very easy because. ‘there's such stiff conpetition and | think 6 better barometer of Just how good you are Is how long you (actually) can stay once you get Into that select group - not many players can stay ‘there very tong - not ITke the Korchnol's and Spasskys and Tals...for Instance, John Nunn, who's 2 very strong player hase. has actually got Into ‘the top 10 but he seems to go In and out of It like 2 yo-yoe This probably reflects his true strength rather than... than hls best results. And If 1 were to become one of the top 10 In the world, | think that that would be In some way, ® spur for Cenadian chess, because Canada has 2 lot of up-and-coming talented players and | think ‘that If they can sort of say “hey, you know, this. ‘guy Spraggett did It, why can't we?", and also, “why can't we do better than this?" And 1 think thet just caters to a very good attitude end would develop chess. Counterplay: How Important Is accuracy at calcu ‘Tation In your game? Have you greatly Inproved in this area In the lest ten yoars? Is pattern rec~ canttion of more Importance then calculatlon?Gul Kevin Spraggett Kovin Spraggett: Well, first of all, calculation Ts @ very Important part of the game but 1 think It's not really In the nature of chosse.soheeel ‘think chess Is a very posttTonal gane and basic~ ally many players can get along really vel with= cout oven having to calculate, mind you, there are some times when calculatlon can't be avolded but you look at sone player IIke Petrosten...Stelnltz, what not, they bastcally play chess with the Ideas fond the type of Ideas that they vould play with, tended to In many ways, dlscourage large numbers of wild complications fron arising, so that It wasn't really necessary to be very skilled in calculation tose+to find thelr way through. There are some playars to whom calculation 1s very In portant, I1ke Tal and Kasparov. In ny ovnee.tn ay own game, because | vould one dey Itke It to be 2 little bit more dynante and sharp. (And you used ‘the word "speculative") Speculation: | would also l1ke It to be a IItle more speculative. | think that calculation should be en Inportant pert of By game but only In cortala chases of the game; not In terms of Just bullding up the position, but In terms of the strategic structure of the game and of course, In the last 5, 10, or 12 years, ay gene has Improved dramatically In the strategic, area but | don't really think I hes Improved that rauch tactIcally. 1 seo to remember vhen | was about 15 or 16, | could see a hell of © lot, though | think It's much more Important to be 2b! to understand what you're seeing than Just the actual mechanical process of just checking out varlations. It's Interesting...! used to see 2 lot of notes witten by Ftacnik..sbasteally where ever he annctates a gane It looks nore lke @ computer printout sheet than an exchange of Ideas Pork Royal Simul and | was discussing this with @ nunber of Grand= masters and ve came sort of...cane to the con- cluston that.-.after reviewing sone of his games, that oven though he saw 9 great deal In terns of tho varlations, he wasn't able to put then tom gether, he wasn't able to synthesize then Into tangible Ideas that could somehow define a po- sItIon and most of hls vartations tend to be very random, and If you look at his results of the lest few years you'll find that his game hes stagnated ‘and thls not necessarily Ts the reason why It has stagnated, but It could be, basteally, that his attitude towards the game In terms of too much om phasis on calculation Is stumping his gane and development. Counterplay: Did you enjoy your stay In B.Cs, and ‘can we expect you to be anong us permanently In the future? Kevin Spraggett: Oh yes, absolutely ~ I+ was one. ‘of the best fines of my IIfe and I've made up my IMind that by Decenber, I'm definttely gong to be living there, probably for...at least for...the next few years.
