Wachusett CC leads Billerica CC 4-3 after first round of match
On Sunday, February 9th, seven members from each of the Billerica and Wachusset Chess Clubs traveled to a neutral site at the Billiards Café in Ayer to compete in the Club Match between these two venerable Massachusetts Chess Clubs. This will be a two-round match with the same opponents meeting both weeks with alternate colors.
The Billerica Chess Club entered the tournament with an average player rating of 1868, over 50 points greater than the average Wachusett Chess Club player rating of 1817. Despite their underdog status, the Wachusett Chess Club scored a 4-3 advantage in the first round. This is particularly noteworthy in light of Billerica having the advantage of four White Boards in the first round. Billerica only netted a one-point advantage on the White Boards scoring 2.5 points. Billerica wins on the White Boards were scored by Fred Pearson (over Gary Brassard) and Michael David (over Steve Murray). Paul Baginski, playing for Billerica with White, had a drawn game with Wachusett player, Jim Donahue. Meanwhile, Wachusett scored 2.5 points in their 3 games with the White Boards, netting a 2-point advantage. Wachusett wins on the White Boards were scored by Brett Kildahl (over John Vaughan) and Roger Cappallo (over Joe Kelly). Don Ostrowski, playing for Wachusett with White had a drawn game with BIllerica player, Kaustubh Kislay.
The second, and final, round will be again hosted by the Billiards Café Chess Club in Ayer this upcoming Sunday, February 16th. The Billerica Chess Club will be tasked with closing the 1-point deficit to Wachusett this week with just three White Boards.
All games are being played with a time control of Game/90; with a delay of 10 seconds. Larry Gladding is the Tournament Director.

Arthur A. King Jr., a USCF member since October 1991 and a former MACA member, died Sunday, Nov. 24, 2019 at Merrimack Valley Hospital in Haverhill. He was born in Haverhill on Jan. 20, 1950, the son of Arthur and Shirley (Ellis) King. He was raised and educated in Haverhill, graduating from Haverhill High School in 1967. He attended UMass-Boston, where he earned a bachelor's degree in psychology. He worked as a tester for Lucent Technologies Inc. in Massachusetts. Arthur's very first rated tournament, when he joined the USCF, was MACA's 2nd annual Mass. Game/60 Open, directed by MACA legend and multi-time president Gilbert F. "Gus" Gosselin on Oct. 20, 1991 in Tewksbury. Arthur became a solid Class A-rated player. His newspaper and funeral home obituary acknowledges the man who taught him chess by stating that Arthur "was fortunate enough to have had lessons with his idol, John Curdo, a master chess player." Besides playing in weekend tournaments in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, Arthur became most active by playing in the weeknight chess clubs in Newburyport and Billerica in the state.
Besides his wife, Karen R. Krikorian, Arthur leaves among his survivors a sister, Avis Malcuit, and three nephews, including Randi Malcuit, owner of Stateline Chess Books & Equipment in New Hampshire.
Calling hours will be held Friday, Nov. 29, from 11 a.m. to 1 pm., at the Cataudella Funeral Home, 126 Pleasant Valley St., Methuen, MA. A funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. in the funeral home chapel, followed by burial in St. Patrick Cemetery in Haverhill. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Salem Animal Rescue League, 4 Sari Drive, Salem, NH 03079

Jeff Caruso and Robb Stewart to run in MACA elections
MACA elections are right around the corner!
Billerica CC members,
Jeff Caruso and Robb Stewart, are running for positions on the MACA board. Jeff has represented MACA as a director for a number of years and this year he is running for Vice President. Robb Stewart is running for one of the open director positions and has asked for our support. I've known Robb for a long time through the chess circles and has been an instructor for the club in the past.
For those that don't know him, Robb has been an active chess player for over 30 years, and is very involved with scholastic chess. He volunteers to manage a chess program at his daughter's school, directs scholastic tournaments, and tutors students privately.
Both Jeff and Robb are great candidates for the positions and will help Mass Chess move forward. They would like you and/or your child's vote - yes, your child can vote! Mass Chess bylaws state that junior members are eligible to vote The process to vote is underway currently and is a two-step process that is easy to complete.
The first step is that you have to register with the election committee to vote.
You simply need to send an email to the following address:
election@masschess.org
You do need to be a current member of MACA. You can paste this text in your note:
Please send me an online ballot for the upcoming election to [your-email].
This must be completed before February 28th.
The second step is to vote!
An on-line ballot will be emailed to the address you provided at the beginning of May which will allow you to vote.
Online voting needs to be completed by May 22nd.
MACA has posted FAQs on its website about the election process; the link can be found here:
http://masschess.org/resources/faqs/chess_faqs.aspx?faq_type_uid=5
Please vote! And please support Robb Stewart and Jeff Caruso, they are both great choices for the future of Mass Chess.

Fred finishes first
USCF expert, Fred Pearson, won the Billerica March 2018 Swiss by winning all four of his games with a convincing 4.0 score in the four round event. While Fred is no stranger to the top prize at Billerica, this is the first time he's ever done it with a perfect score. In the process, he defeated a class B player, Jim Dnahue, two class A players, Ray Paulson & Jeff Caruso, & strong expert Tim Bromley thus adding 51 points to his rating. Coingratulations, Fred.
Clear second place went to USCF expert Art Nugent while Under 1600 honors were shared by Bob Babcock & Chris Marinos, who started as an unrated player & now holds a provisional rating of 1645 based on three games.

December 30th, 2016
We played the "Happy New Year Blitz Night" at the Billerica Chess Club turned as a 14-game double round-robin tournament. Each player played once as White and once as Black against every other player.
*WINNERS:
1st place: Smith
2nd place: Bromley
3rd place: Vaughan
The players thought this was a lot of fun and a nice change of pace. Perhaps we'll do it again someday.
Next Friday is back to classical time controls (G/90; d5) for the first round of the January Swiss.
Four rounds on January 6, 13, 20 and 27.
A total of 8 players competed in the event, which was directed by Jeff Caruso of the Billerica Chess Club.

There was a power failure in Billerica Center Friday night, September 9th,
but National Grid estimated that the work would be done by 8:00, so we stuck around.
Then they updated it to 10:00 and I decided to call it a night.
No games the next two weeks (September 16 and 23) so I will decide in the next few days what to do about September 30.
(I think we'll fold it into the October tournament and make that a 5-rounder, but I need to consult with Art. I will let you know soon.)

Ananth Rangan Leads Billerica July Swiss After 2 Rounds
As a result of his 281 point upset win over Jeff Caruso combined with three draws at boards 1, 2, & 3, Class B rated, Ananth Rangan, has jumped out in front as the sole leader after two rounds of play in the Billerica July Swiss. Of the ten players following Rangan with a piont & a half each, seven are USCF rated Experts or Class A players, so with two more rounds to go, there is still a chance someone may catch Ananth. However each win, will move him closer to unstoppable.
