14-31 October, is expected to be: 1 Adams, 2 Short, 3 McShane, 4 Speelman,

being backed by Deloitte and a number of other private individuals. The
women's team is Harriet Hunt, Jovanka Houska, Heather Richards and Melanie
Buckley, with John Emms as manager. Allan Beardsworth's name will be new
to many - he's a 42-year-old partner at Deloitte, but also a strong chess
player who played on a high board in the annual Oxford vs Cambridge Varsity
match from 1982 to 1984, and is a close friend of Nigel Short. See this

ranked the third best teenage player in the world". Really?

the 12th season of Britains premier chess league, the 4NCL National
Chess League. During the close season a number of new clubs has joined
the league, which now has 64 teams, an increase of more than 18% over
last season. The decision taken a couple of years ago to hold each set
of rounds over two weekends (Divs 1 & 2 on the first, Divs 3 &
4 on the second) has enabled the league to continue to expand and to accommodate
all new applicants. The 28-team fourth division will be run as two equal
strength sections of 11 rounds, with two promotion places to the third
division on offer in each section. Alongside the entry of a number of
second, third and fourth teams of existing league members, the fourth
division has attracted a number of new club teams as follows: Monmouth,
Hilsmark Coventry, Gloucestershire Gambits, Halesowen, Addlestone... full
details of the 4NCL, including all contact details, team registration
lists, fixtures, results, game scores and a variety of news reports can
be found on the leagues website at www.4NCL.co.uk. Glorney and Faber Cups (26-29 July 2004): The annual junior team competitions for boys and girls were held in Aberdeen.

Websites: http://www.chessscotland.com/archives/glofabres2004.htm and http://glorneyfaber.co.uk/ Lancashire Chess Festival (21-22 August 2004): Not all the sponsorship money materialised and so this congress was scaled down from the 2003 competition. About 100 juniors took part in a NCCU Junior event, and there was a rapidplay (c.100 entries) and a blitz event. We have no further information. Thanks to Dave Clayton for the information.

Website: http://www.chessscotland.com/event2005/marymass04_intro.htm Match of the Generations / British Land Challenge (17 August 2004):
Mike Basman ran the annual outdoor chess exhibition on an outsize chess
board at London's Broadgate. This year's theme, in accordance with the
BCF's centenary celebrations, was 'young and old'. There were young and
old semi-finals: First Sheila Dines, the British Under 11 Champion, played
Eugene Geidelberg, last years British Land UK Chess Challenge Under
11 Champion, in a fifteen minute match. "Eugene won, but the players
were either so nervous or so unused to playing on a giant board, that
between them they managed to blunder three rooks," said Mike Basman.
The main bout of the day was the heavyweight clash between
two British Champions, Peter Lee (British Champion 1965) and Bill Hartston
(British Champion 1973 and 1975). After a close middle game, Bill gained
the advantage by positioning a knight at e4. Lee immediately broke back
with a sacrifice to dislodge the piece. Then Lee was presented with a
problem: to take or not to take the pawn at d5? He took it, but a move
too late and resigned as soon as it became clear that he was losing a
rook. Middlesex Open, Harrow (28-30 August 2004): Open: Robert Gwaze 5/6; Simon Ansell, Bob Eames, Tomer Eden 4½; Graeme Buckley, Richard Bates, Chris Rice, Dana Hawrami 4 (the last two winning grading prizes). Amateur (U140): 1-2 Dominic Foord, aged 11, and James Peet. Minor (U110): Thilagini Anandajeyarajah, aged 12. Nathan Alfred won the rapidplay with 6/6, beating IMs Peter Marusenko and Malcolm Pein on the way, and leaving the rest of the field two points behind. Thanks to Colin Crouch for information and games. Incomplete crosstable here. Mind Sports Olympiad (18-19 August 2004): Results from the Mind
Sports Olympiad, which took place in the Manchester Conference Centre
at UMIST. All England unless stated otherwise. UK Chess Challenge, 21-22 August 2004: Ben Purton of Slough Sharks won the British Land UK Chess Challenge, organised by Mike Basman and starting with 66,000 entrants. Ben won a cheque for £1,000 and the title of 'Strat'. Li Wu and Dana Hawrami were second. Sabrina Chevannes won the girls' competition.

Coulsdon Autumn Congress (4-5 September 2004): A total of 102 played in five sections in what was the 1st round of the 2004-5 Long Play Grand Prix. The punishing schedule of 3 rounds on Saturday was followed by the slightly less pressured 2 rounds on the Sunday. The top title of Open winner was shared by Thomas Rendle and Martin Taylor who held off the Coulsdon challenge of Ian Snape and Michael Franklin. No less than 6 players shared the under 190 grading prize, so with a field of 17 in the top section, over half won something! Two long games for Tim Seymour clinched the Under 170 title. He managed to win a queen v rook end game in round 4 before successfully claiming a draw by repetition in round 5 against Raul Portugal, who consequently shared 2nd with 3 other players. Kingston's Jinwoo Song took the honours in the Under 145 section whilst Coulsdon's James Foster struck again with another tournament victory to take the Under 120 section. The Under 90 title was shared between Stephen Billett (Portsmouth) and Roland Johnson (Brentwood).
