Re: Ronald (Ronnie) Wilson Ives, Yorkshire Chess
A fitting tribute to my father when he sadly died aged 40 in 1964. I think Stanley Wilkinson took over from him as chess correspondent at the Yorkshire Evening Post.

Re: Ronald (Ronnie) Wilson Ives, Yorkshire Chess
More excellent material, Ingrid - many thanks. One of the press cuttings you've posted is particularly valuable: a missing game from the 1960 British Championship in which the well-known player and author Gerald Abrahams blundered horribly against future British Champion Michael Haygarth.

Delighted to be of assistance, John and thank you for your fascinating insight. I’m sure I have more of these press cuttings with missing games and will post them as I find them.

Wonderful! Please keep posting from this goldmine.
Here's one that a contributor to this forum probably wishes had remained undiscovered.

Re: Ronald (Ronnie) Wilson Ives, Yorkshire Chess
Lightning chess games being adjudicated. I'd never have guessed that. The cutting with Problem No. 85 in it says
You'd think it would usually be quicker to let games be played to a finish and it's difficult to think of a less appropriate way of finishing a game than adjudicating a lightning chess game.Games were adjudicated after 20 minutes, and only Beaty's game with Edwards could not be decided quickly.

Re: Ronald (Ronnie) Wilson Ives, Yorkshire Chess
I can recall playimg in a team event in Richmond in the early 1970s where they accelerated the buzzer to five seconds after about twenty minutes. It's the similar problem to games of extreme length discussed recently in the context of weekend tournaments.Ian Thompson wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2023 2:09 pmYou'd think it would usually be quicker to let games be played to a finish and it's difficult to think of a less appropriate way of finishing a game than adjudicating a lightning chess game.

Re: Ronald (Ronnie) Wilson Ives, Yorkshire Chess
Here's another game from a press cutting upthread. I've been able to find the date of the game from a BCF Yearbook...
Turns out that Black's 9...Ng4 and 10...Nxf2 plan was not as good as it looked.

"Wonderful! Please keep posting from this goldmine."
Absolutely!
In position 109, it refers to A Footner (presumably Andrew, who now plays for Yeovil and refuses to lose to me in the league), but Britbase has his brother John Kenneth as the player...
I'm beginning to feel old as I have played a lot of the people mentioned in these reports!
