Queen's Birthday Honours List 2017

Not for chess reasons, but a chess player...

OBE to Judge Russell Finch, for services to the Judiciary in Guernsey.

He worked in the British legal system for some years, but visiting Guernsey for the chess tournament convinced him to move there.

Well deserve honour His speech at farewell dinner at Guernsey Chess each year rounds off a very good week for the tournament.
