    Check it out Newsletter of the Plymouth Chess Club December 2018 Gary Behan 1956 -2018 Receiving the trophy for top individual performer in Gary in full Sherlock attire! Torbay Chess League Division 4 – 2017-18 Gary Behan sadly passed away on the 21st October 2018 Gary was a likeable and respected member of the Plymouth Chess Club and had been a member for as long as I can remember, probably more than 25 years. He will no doubt be remembered for often wearing his deerstalker hat during his games and also for asking his opponent before the game started if he wanted to resign. He was a regular member at the Club and always made himself available for Club matches even at short notice. Travelling to away matches with Gary was an experience as we listened during the journey to his stories of what he had got up to during his life. Last year he won the Larry Guard league and was promoted to the Bloodworth league but sadly only managed to play one game in the Bloodworth before his untimely death. Winning the Larry Guard league was a highlight in Gary’s chess life but without doubt his win against our Club Champion in the annual club simul for two years in succession was his talking point. Gary was indeed a character who will be sadly missed in the Plymouth Chess Club. Below is a position from one of his games that I used on the front of envelopes and I remember at the time how delighted Gary was that his game position was actually published.

Building on its sponsorship of the Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival – acclaimed as the world’s leading open chess tournament pioneering women’s participation – Tradewise will now be sponsoring the English Chess Federation, in order to enable — 1) The Hastings International Chess Congress, the world’s oldest tournament, to continue as a fixture in English chess heritage; 2) The ECF Grand Prix to incorporate new prizes for club players, and incentives for female participation; 3) Assistance for promising players to earn international title norms in England Tradewise Chairman James Humphreys stated, “This is a great step forwards in the modernising of chess sponsor- ship. All with a motor vehicle must purchase insurance, and with every policy purchased via Tradewise 64, the greater the benefit for the world of chess. I sincerely believe this initiative is one that will be noticed, and applaud the ECF for making this happen” ECF President Dominic Lawson remarked, “I am delighted my initial discussions with James Humphreys, during the recent Tradewise Open in Gibraltar, have ultimately led to this agreement, which will safeguard the Hastings tour- nament – a fixture on the international chess scene since 1895” Tradewise will become the English Chess Federation’s official insurance provider.
