The best championship of Russia has passed in Novosibirsk (№5 (17) from November, 15th, 2007)

Organizers of tournament – Federations of billiard sports of Russia, administration of the Novosibirsk region, the mayoralty of Novosibirsk, federation of billiard sports of the Novosibirsk region, party «United Russia« and Factory "Start" – had to try, but some weeks of intense preparation have justified themselves. Without exaggeration it is possible to tell that tournament has passed at the highest level.

The sportsmen who have arrived on the championship, that action passed in a premise which has been specially prepared for this purpose has amazed. In a hall of club "Rest", one of the largest entertaining platforms of a city, Factory "Start" has established specially for tournament of 12 tables of a professional series "Champion-klab". Such, on responses of sportsmen, they on tournaments of the Russian level yet did not see. And after all to billiard-players was with what to compare. Among 74 players from 33 regions of Russia there were those who constantly participates in tournaments of different level: world champion ЗМС Jury Pashchinsky, the bronze prize-winner of World championship МСМК Edward Galijants, the bronze prize-winner of a cup of the world on «the Combined pyramid» МСМК Daniel Bogushevsky, the silver prize-winner of the Command cup of world МСМК Sergey Pletnev, the prize-winner of many tournaments МСМК Pavel Kuzmin, and all of them could make authoritative and an objective - ные conclusions about level of carrying out of competitions, being based on own wide experience. Certainly, titanic work on installation of tables, on the hall equipment, on booking of hotels and on many and many moments remained behind a shot, organizers know about it led by vice-president ФБС of the Novosibirsk region Vadim Dronem who co-ordinated work of organizers only. And sportsmen and fans became participants, it is possible to tell without exaggeration, the present holiday of billiards. At tournament opening there were officials: the chairman of a country council of deputies and the president of federation of billiard sports of the Novosibirsk region Alexey Bespalikov, the assistant to the head of administration of area Andrey Filichev and the first vice-president of Federation of billiard sports of Russia Vladimir Nikiforov that gave to all event higher status, and the hymn which has sounded "alive" of the country has brought the solemnity and holiday note. After symbolical robbery of a pyramid tournament has begun. Because of big quantity of participants to the first day of game went on two platforms which are nearby from each other: in club "Rest" and billiard club "Space". However to suspect organizers that one sportsmen had advantage before others because of different quality of tables, it is not necessary, because in "Space" too there are Factory "Start" tables. Thus, preliminary tournament passed at once on 20 tables.

Triathlon is remarkable that sportsmen can show the skill at once in several kinds of a pyramid. The match begins «the Classical pyramid», in which the sportsman receives a point for a victory. The second can be received for «the Dynamical pyramid». The meeting Also comes to an end with "the Free pyramid» which too can bring to the sportsman a point for a victory. The one who will type 3 points wins. If it does not happen for three meetings began переигровки under the scheme "Dynamical" and "Free" to the necessary result. Thus, in triathlon there is a chance to flash abilities in all kinds and to prove that you really strong billiard-player.

However sports are sports, and someone should withdraw. It is necessary to tell that preliminary games of special surprises not at - bore, in plej-off, beginning with 1/32, from whom it and was expected have entered. However, loss Jury Pashchinskogo Vladimir Vernigore (Barnaul) became a small surprise. The World champion, probably, without having adjusted on game because has got to a table directly from the plane, has released the contender and it has appeared in the bottom grid. But there it was ruthless and left in the four of semifinalists. The company to Jury was made by Pavel Kuzmin, Andrey Frejze and the player whom named as a result «Break of year» – nineteen-year Oleg Erkulev from Orenburg. For Oleg the title of the champion of Russia among young men which it has won in 2005 already is registered, but within two years its Orenburg federation on tournaments did not send. Trainers and heads waited, when Oleg will get rid of excessive vanity behind a table and will get stronger psychologically. Probably, such tactics as a result has benefited: Еркулев has bypassed all reefs, placed to it a tournament grid, and it has appeared among semifinalists. There was interestingly a tournament destiny Daniel Bogushevskogo (Barnaul) whom many designated in champions. And it nastrai - вался on a victory. It would Seem, it had every chance, especially after a prize at Dmitry Baeva (Tomsk) with a whitewash 3:0. But with Andrey Frejze (Kemerovo) he with the same whitewash has lost the following match and has left struggle for prize-winning places.

Новосибирцы could receive invaluable tournament experience with players of high level, than and have not failed to take advantage. Quite good game have shown КМС Denis Rejfisov, Victor Loktev and МС Feodor ShChigrev, having entered in plej-off. But it is the best from owners, managed to make the way Michael Zlobin has played 16 strongest.

The most interesting matches were played, certainly, last day the championship. By the way, "the Rest" hall for a night has converted, from 12 tables have left 3, one of which is taken away under the ending. Round it there were little tables for spectators and two screens on which for the best review the match was broadcast.

In ten o'clock in the morning matches for an exit in the ending have begun. The tournament grid has combined steams Pashchinsky-kuzmin and Frejze-Erkulev. It is a pity that at so early o'clock per a hall still practically there were no spectators, because it was valid on what to look. On the first table Jury Pashchinsky has quickly typed necessary points and has come forward. Then it has shown a class in «the Dynamical pyramid» and the account became 2:0 in its advantage. In the third game Pavel Kuzmin has appeared more successfully, and the account became 2:1 that meant переигровку in "Dynamical". After its termination Pavel has caught up with Jury. Billiard-players have started to vto - to rum to a circle in "Free". The meeting result – 3:2 in favour of Kuzmin, and it reaches the final, and Pashchinsky still it is necessary a match for the third place with the contender who was defined on the second table. There events razvi - fall more slowly, and it was appreciable that to the champion of Russia on «the Free pyramid» to Andrey Frejze soper - ник has got though also young, but it is far not idle time. It and neudivi - тельно, after all Oleg Erkulev – the pupil deserved trene - ра Russia Konstantin Pavlovicha Krjukova who all time of a match was near to the pupil. Oleg battled courageously, but, probably, tournament experience nevertheless yet does not suffice it. He has lost also to Andrey Frejze, and the following match for tre - тье a place to Jury Pashchinskomu.

Here is how Konstantin Pavlovich Krjukov has commented on game of the pupil:

– Oleg, certainly, the good fellow, it did not have experience and knowledge of subtleties of game on tournament simply a little. I think that all it to it will come. And in general it would be desirable to notice that I am very glad that have brought young sports - сменов here, to Novosibirsk. Children have received fine possibility to play with strong contenders on high quality tables. Factory "Start" – firm solid, and tables at it excellent, them with any drugi - ми you will not confuse. And the tournament organisation as a whole causes voshishche - ние, Siberians – people reliable, and all do thoroughly, without the discount at random, and it is visible to the naked eye.

The beginnings at the right time of the ending of halls on - filled with fans, despite the working day. Novosibirsk fans of billiards have been in good time notified on the tournament program, the city has been literally covered rekla - mine, and all interested persons could come and observe game of the favourite sportsman. In a game hall television cameras which not only broadcast proisho - дящее on special screens for convenience of spectators have been established, but also kept final record as organi - jams have decided to let out a disk with game record that all interested persons could get it. At four o'clock p.m. to a final table there was Andrey Frejze (Kemerovo) and Pavel Kuzmin (Astrakhan) that in struggle to solve who from them is worthy ranks of the champion of Russia. A match the main judge of competitions Alexander Kokunin, which on a course of a meeting made comments on stories - a shaft to spectators about features of games and about match peripetias.

«The combined pyramid» on which under regulations of tournament from - hour was found, sportsmen have finished for 22 minutes. The victory in this kind was gained by Andrey Frejze. By the way, this sportsman posessed also a tournament record in «Is combined - ache to a pyramid». In one of meetings it has finished party for 12 minutes. And the absolute record on vserossy - ских competitions in «Kombini - рованной to a pyramid» belongs to Vladimir Petushkovu who in the previous championship on triathlon "has made" party for 7 minutes. After the first game spectators and sportsmen could have a rest under performance pesenno-tantsevalno - го collective.

«The dynamical pyramid» too remained for кемеровчанином, to - торый has finished a joint account of a match to 2:0. Average time of party in this kind of a pyramid has made six and a half minutes. Certainly, «Dee - намичная» on that and "Dynamical" to be played quickly, but it is necessary to note, this pair sportsmen in general differed prompt game in the ending.

During a break with billiard tricks Jury the Pashchinsky, known master not only кия, but also colloquial zhan - ра has surprised spectators. Jury accompanied the a ledge - ление witty the comment - ми. After sportsmen have continued a final.

In «the Free pyramid» the top managed to be gained to Pavel Kuzmin. It has combined one of parties with кия in one billiard pocket, and it was the unique similar case on tournament. Taking a point, Pavel has cheered up, it had a hope of a victory. One - to in переигровке in "Dynamical" Andrey Frejze all the same has proved that on it the moment it – the strongest in Russia in triathlon. The beautiful and fast match during which time spectators repeatedly gasped in vos - plunder, has ended with its victory 3:2.

– The idea to spend the championship of Russia in Novosibirsk has appeared after here on the higher organi - зационном level has passed a match between two chempio - us of the world Pavel Mehovo- вым and Jury Pashchinskim. We have understood that federations of billiard sports Is new - the Siberian area led by Alexey Bespalikovym quite on forces to consult with a challenge podgo - товки and carrying out chuck out - ра the All-Russia level. As at local fe - дерации is such pomoshch - ник, as Factory "Start". As has shown tournament, we in our decision not oshib - лись, all has passed without a hitch. Moreover, it would be desirable to notice that else never the championship of Russia passed so torzhest - венно and it is beautiful, in such convenient premise and at such congestion bolelshchi - ков. Already vyskazyva - ются offers to spend in the future in Novosibirsk one of the World championships. It is necessary to tell, these a prebed - ния do not seem such fantastic. Why also is not present? We will think.

Andrey Frejze, the champion of Russia on triathlon:

– In triathlon it is impossible to think anything because here good luck so nazyva - емый фарт has great value. I never think, I will win so I will win, was not present – means, was not ready. My favourite game is «the Free pyramid», but this time in it I felt not so confidently because the whole year about - competitions on «the Dynamical pyramid» and we in it were found so played much that I felt in it more confidently. To play Novosibirsk to me very much it was pleasant, tables in general were smart, can, poe - to that at me all so well turned out, and I managed to win.

Alexey Bespalikov, the chairman of the council deputa - тов the Novosibirsk region, president ФБС:

– The idea about carrying out at us in a city of the championship of Russia was born in the winter when we organised here a match between world champions Pavel Mehovovym and Juri - I eat Pashchinsky. Vladimir Pavlovich Nikiforov has estimated our work very highly. This estimation, as well as that we became owners of the champion - that, says that our federation has considerably grown and the plan professio - нализма. Still five years ago we spent in territory of area no more than ten round - ниров local level in a year, and now we spend over forty tournaments – nurseries, youthful, adult, vete - ранских. The championship of Russia is a high prestigiousness, a considerable quantity uchast - ников, a considerable quantity wishing to look. In such beautiful premise, on such magnificent tables we are simply obliged to spend the best championship of Russia for all history of billiard sports. Popularity biljar - yes at us grows in area, we open all new and new clubs. We stake on youth, we develop this kind of sports, and we aspire to that it became olimpy - ским. We have opened billiards branch in a nursery of sport willows - ache to school, and the premise in city centre under specialised billiard school which will work for children free of charge is already allocated.

Hamlet Apresjan, КМС, Orenburg ФБС:

– I play tournaments of different level practically every month. I wish to tell that here there are tables on which it is possible to show good, beautiful game. Rubber not too rigid, billiard pockets not such strict as happens at times. Sometimes such pass happens that nevoz - it is possible to play exits, spheres jam, only on blow play, hammer – and more than anything. And it is not correct. On tables of this tournament just also it was possible to show all beauty of Russian billiards.

Alexander Kokunin, heads - ный the judge of competitions:

– Without exaggeration I can tell that tournament, about - going to Novosibirsk, can be an example for the organisation of tournaments all the Russian level. I still never saw, that games were spent on such qualitative tables as here, and after all I, believe, saw many tournaments, and to me is with what to compare. So here was not one - го censures on quality of the game equipment, as has helped sportsmen to show very high class of game.
