  • Yanofsky, Daniel Abraham (”Abe”) (26.03.1925 - 05.03.2000)
    Yanofsky, Daniel Abraham (”Abe”) (26.03.1925 - 05.03.2000) First Canadian Grandmaster ever. Born in 1925 in Brody, then Poland, he arrived the same year in Canada, as an eight months young baby. A child prodigy. Brilliant technical play, especially in the endgame. Prominent Winnipeg lawyer and city councillor, Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Mayor of West Kildonan, Manitoba. Awarded the IM title in 1950 (the inaugural year), the GM title in 1964 and the International Arbiter title in 1977. The first chess player in the British Commonwealth to be awarded the Grandmaster title (Apart from German-born chess player Jacques Mieses who moved to England in the 1930s to escape Nazi persecution as a Jew. Mieses became a British citizen late in life, then received the title when FIDE first awarded the grandmaster title in 1950, Mieses was one of the 27 original recipients, and the oldest of them) Yanofsky was British Champion in 1953 and Canadian Champion on eight occasions: 1941 in 1943, 1945, 1947, 1953, 1959, 1963, 1965; his eight titles is a Canadian record (tied in closed tournaments with Maurice Fox). “Little Abie” or “Abe”, as the local newspapers called him soon, was a Child Prodigy. At age of 12, Yanofsky won the championship of Manitoba. He repeated every year through 1942, when nobody else even bothered to show up. Thereafter, Yanofsky was banned from further participation in the Manitoba provincial championship to encourage others to play in it :) At 14, was picked to play at board 2 for the Canadian Team in the Olympiad in Buenos Aires 1939.

    ECF Under 18 and Under 13 County Championships The 2011 ECF Under 18 and Under 13 County Championships were hosted by outgoing 2010 Under 18 winners Berkshire at Eton College, which kindly provided a venue excellently suited for this prestigious jun- ior competition. The event attracted 192 players, many travelling far from north, south, east and west, with 9 teams of 12 participating in the Under 18 event, and 14 teams of 6 in the Under 13 event. The younger event was split between an Open section and a Minor with an average grade ceiling of 80, which broadened participation even fur- ther, encouraging inclusion of a number of plucky contestants years below the age limit. The different age groups were, as in previous years, faced with different event formats. The seniors did battle over a measured two rounds with 75 minutes per player on the clock, whilst the younger sections engaged in four rounds of 30 minute-a-side rapidplay. In each case, the available time was valued, and there were more exciting finishes than early exits ... (continued on Page 7) tact the ECF in confidence.
