Re: British Chess Championships 2011
Surely the most interesting case would be Mike Haygarth. That really would be a shocker if you could get him to play - have to find him first!

Re: British Chess Championships 2010
Correct me if I'm wrong, but at the present moment the only reference to Adams's victory on the official website I can find is on a caption to a photograph. This is not impressive.

Re: Adam Hunt (at the British)
So why is that not a GM norm? Also Hartston must have a GM norm, amongst many others.

Re: British Chess Championships 2010

Re: 2010 Grading list
Personally I'm most impressed with the adult who's gone up 54 points. That can't happen very often. It's not Jonathan Hawkins is it?

Re: Chess/ bridge
Peter I meant a) The money should go to the best players. With more money on offer due to money being shunted away from 130s and 160s the top prizes would go up, and more titled players would play in weekenders instead of writing books or playing poker.

Re: Chess/ bridge
I think the lower sections should subsidise the higher sections, or to be more precise the weaker players should subsidise the stronger ones. I think lower sections should actually be abolished to make way for one big section with a large prize. This would lead to stronger players coming in at the t...

Re: Right or Wrong?

It appears James Sherwin won Frome, Richmond and Chipping Sodbury in consecutive weeks. Good stuff from someone in his late 70s!
