Event Info
The 15th Annual Kenilworth Chess Club
Championship ran from January 13-April 14, 2005. The
event has been held every year since 1991, and it has
been won by Scott Massey every year but 1996 and this
year, 2005. The event is always a round robin (meaning
all participants play each other once) with one game
each week played at a time-limit of Game-90 (meaning
each player had 90 minutes to make all of his moves,
so that games would not last more than 3 hours). Follow

Congratulations to our new Kenilworth
Chess Club Champion, Steve Stoyko. And congratulations
to the under-1800 Champion, Joe Demetrick. They both
played some excellent games.
Second place went to Scott Massey,
third place to Mark Kernighan, second-place under-1800
to Geoff McAuliffe, and first under-1600 to Pat Mazillo.
Rules
The following rules governed the play and awarding
of prizes:
“Games are to be played
with a time limit of 90-minutes per
player for the game (so that games should not last
more than 3 hours). Rounds begin promptly at 8:30
p.m. every Thursday evening, with pairings finalized
by 8:15 p.m. Players are allowed two byes
(excused absences) and are charged $5 for each
additional absence up to four. Players who miss five
rounds are automatically disqualified and forfeit their
remaining games, to be recorded as wins for their
opponents. Prizes will be awarded for the top three
players, the best under-1800, second under-1800, and
best under-1600. Any ties for prizes will be decided
by a Game-30 playoff. All participants must be club
members in good standing or must join the club in order
to play. This is an unrated event.”
