Yearbook 2009 Foreword Dear Chess Friends As I started this report I had just heard the sad news that IM Bob Wade had died aged 87. I first met Bob at one of the Whitby Congresses and in 1972 he played in the Teesside GM Tournament where I recall he beat the three Hungarian players Portisch, Bilek and Sax. Earlier in the year we also had the loss of a great servant of the Federation John Dunleavy. I seemed to have known John for such a long time. He was renowned for his wisdom and courtesy and I regarded him as a true friend. 2008 saw more changes in the ECF Board with four resignations after the April Council. A new Board was soon elected and ECF continued to operate. I want to thank the four people who came on to ECF Board in 2006 because they did at least try to bring about changes in ECF, maybe it was too much too quick. Stewart Reuben found a sponsor for the English teams in the Dresden Olympiad, I have thanked LV= for their generous support and hope that it may continue. The chess for schools project remained in the headlines for quite some time, I hope that as you read this year book all issues have been resolved. As I write we are in the midst of an economic crisis and it is too early to say if there has been any impact on The JR Trust or The PIF. Liverpool as part of City of Culture celebrations staged the EU Championship as well as our own British Championships. Both events were very successful. 2009 sees a return to the South Coast, Torquay will host the British Championships in the Riviera Centre. Meanwhile in the North East we have the opportunity to see a venue dedicated to Mind Sports and I am working with Stewart Reuben to secure an International event for 2010. The opening of our National Chess Library in Hastings was a stunning occasion. The official opening was carried out by Charles Clarke MP and the guest list was headed by grandmaster Lothar Scmidt. Special thanks are due to Cynthia and staff in Battle for their unceasing effort to ensure such an outcome having taken receipt of the first books in 1975 after the death of Sir Richard Clarke. Two issues from the occasion was the offer from Charles Clarke to help find a sponsor for the British Championships and the offer from Hastings University to help stage a Hastings Young Masters Unfortunately Gemma left the federation for a new career just after April Council and we are informed that she is enjoying her new work. Chess as a Charity is moving along nicely and we hope to have application forms available in the near future, I would like to thank Mellvile Rodrigues and Richard Fries for their very dedicated and detailed efforts in this respect. David Anderton has worked tirelessly on the campaign for chess as a sport. Thanks to David for completing yet another submission to Sport England for recognition. I regret to advise however that we have been turned down again for recognition. The Directors have submitted their own reports to you and I commend them to you, the workload of the Board is not easy and I thank them all for their efforts. The Trustees of The PIF and the two Standing Committees of Council have continued to offer sound advice and we thank them for their contribution to ECF. Our relationship with the Government through the Ministry of Sport is good and I continue to have good links with a number of Ministers and Members of Parliament. Gerry Walsh ECF President More changes at the top in 2008, and even one in the office. Gemma Master left her post as Membership Secretary after 7 years. Her replacement is Christine Carcas, and long may she reign. The changeover from one Board to another was seamless and it was a great relief for the office staff that this was the case. As reported elsewhere English Chess has lost two more ‘greats’ John Dunleavy may not have been as widely known as Bob Wade, but he worked tirelessly for chess, and helped the office staff with so many constitutional matters. I have known Bob for many years, often irascible but also amusing, he helped and inspired so many in the chess world both will be impossible to replace.

Tim Wall, Leon Pliester, and the players CHESSBASE OPERATOR: MARK HOUL5BY EDITOR 1ST NORTHUMBRIAN MASTERS The Chillingham, Newcastle upon Tyne 28 August - 1 September 1996 After the successful all-play-alls and Scheveningen team events held in Newcastle over the past year, I felt it was time to hold a bigger Swiss event which aimed to give opportunities to a broader group of players. Not knowing quite what sort of response to expect, I was very pleased when we attracted 40 players from 8 different countries, including International Masters Leon Pliester (Netherlands), Steffen Pedersen (Denmark), Douglas Bryson and Jonathan Rowson (Scotland), Graeme Buckley and Andrew Whiteley (England) as well as English IM Elect Simon Ansell. In the end, out of the various contenders, two players stood out by their consistency and professional approach: Leon Pliester, in contrast to some of the other faltering IMs, kept himself at the top of the table and didn't look back. From the moment he arrived at Newcastle Airport and took out his laptop, Leon was a picture of concentration throughout, clearly relishing the challenge and getting a well-deserved tournament victory. In second place was young Londoner Danny Gormally (19), registering his first IM norm (with half a point to spare!), who demonstrated quick thinking and alevel-headed approach that augurs well for the future.

The island has been inhabited since before 6500 BC. In the 9th century, Norsemen established the Kingdom of the Isles. Magnus III, King of Norway, was also known as King of Mann and the Isles between 1099 and 1103.

  • Maxime Vachier-Lagrave
    INTERVIEW Maxime Vachier‐Lagrave champion du monde junior 2009, par Christophe Guéneau Le 3 novembre 2009 à Puerto Madryn en Argentine tu deviens champion du monde junior. À quoi penses‐tu dans l'avion du retour ? Je pensais aux très bons moments passés avec la délégation française (l'ambiance était très bonne), au cadre exceptionnel (la Patagonie c'est quand même plus sympa que la plupart des endroits dans lesquels on va habituellement, notamment la Sibérie) et bien évidemment au titre obtenu à l'arraché (au départage grâce à une victoire lors de la dernière partie), le tout dans des conditions éprouvantes. Au final, une expérience forte et unique. À Puerto Madryn, ton séjour a été assez "chaotique" mais avec le recul quel souvenir conserves‐tu de ce championnat forcément très particulier pour toi ? Ce serait plutôt le non-souvenir des pingouins que je ne suis pas allé voir pendant la journée de repos. On dira que j'ai été trop sérieux sur le coup mais je dois avouer que pour l'excursion il fallait se lever à l'heure où je suis allé me coucher ! Par la suite tu enchaînes avec une belle Coupe du Monde à Khanty‐Mansiysk en Russie. Tu es éliminé par Boris Gelfand, futur vainqueur de l'épreuve. On a le sentiment que tu avais les moyens de le sortir. Peux‐tu nous raconter ce match ? Évidemment cette Coupe du Monde m'a laissé un peu sur ma faim, puisque j'ai été éliminé en 1/8e de finale alors que j'étais venu avec des ambitions plus élevées.
