ECF Yearbook 2013.Qxp English Chess Federation Official Chess Yearbook 2013 FOREWORD Dear chess colleagues, I am honoured to have been recently elected to the post of ECF President and promise to work hard for the benefit of chess in this country. The past year has been somewhat frenetic in more ways than one, ending with the resignation of our previous president. The new membership scheme has been introduced. Naturally there have been the usual initial teething problems but these are being resolved and we wait with bated breath to see how successful it is. We currently have a Board that still has a couple of vacancies and several new members as a result of the recent elections. However, the current personnel are full of ideas for the future. Whether all the schemes are workable only time will tell, but please rest assured that we are all working with the best intentions for the future well-being of the ECF - in some cases over- working! This year we are organising the 100th British Championships at Torquay and also working towards trying to achieve Charitable Status for the ECF.These two events in themselves will keep several members of the Board fully occupied, more than fully occupied for those mem- bers who also need time to earn a living as well. It saddens me to see some pockets of the country who think they can exist without the ECF and are trying to destroy it when there are so many people who are trying their best to make it work. However, more volunteers are still needed. To paraphrase that well known saying,“Ask not what the ECF can do for you, ask what you can do for the ECF”. Because of the forthcoming workload, plus the additional work generated by the Membership scheme, we are very reliant on the work carried out in the office and I would like to thank the staff who work there for their efforts in keeping the ECF running on a daily basis. And also a thank you to all the volunteers without whom there would be no ECF. - Roger Edwards, President of the English Chess Federation 1 CONTENTS Foreword 1 ECF Office, Board & Officials 2 - 6 Chief Executive’s & Directors’ Reports 7 - 23 FIDE Honours List 24 - 25 Awards: President’s Award, Club, Player & Book of the Year 27 - 33 Chess Service Providers: Arbiters, Accredited Coaches, Players & Journalists 34 - 42 ECF Titled Players 43 BCF/ECF Congresses & Champions 44 - 59 ECF Master Points System 67 Results and Tournaments 68 - 89 Junior Reports & Events 100 - 120 Junior Club Directory 121 - 126 Correspondence Chess 126 - 129 Chess Problems 130 - 131 Directory 132 ...

    Correspondence Chess News Issue 31 - 14 January 2001 An Interview with FIDE GM Mikhail Golubev By Santhosh Matthew Paul Copyright 2001 by Santhosh Matthew Paul, All rights reserved. How did you first get attracted to chess? Please also say something about your early chess development in Ukraine. I started to play in 1976 (at the age of six) and from 1977 onwards, I started to learn chess in the chess club (by the way, many players the world over think that chess was an obligatory discipline in the regular Soviet Schools – that’s not correct). Sometimes, I think that I started to look at chess seriously after my parents got divorced, but I’m not sure if it was the real impetus. In any case, I was quite able to play chess. It is easy to say as I scored many good results, especially at the age of 12-14 years. For instance, in the 1984 (at age 14), I shared second place (with the better tiebreak) with Ivanchuk (he was one year older) in the Ukrainian Junior Ch U- 17. Still, I’m not sure if I’m a born chess player. I remember, in 1984 I played in a junior tournament in Baku, and shared the first place there with Vladimir Akopian. Volodya is one year younger than me, and he was very small in 1984 J . We played an extremely complicated game, and I accepted his draw offer when my position was already better. I was quite afraid for him, as for the first time I saw a clearly more talented player than me.

  • DOOR DORE VILLAGE SOCIETY No
    to DOOR DORE VILLAGE SOCIETY No. 28 WINTER 1992 ISSN 0965-8912 The Origin of local Surnames Following the Annual General Meeting of the Dore Village Society held on 7th October, 1992, Professor David Hey of the University of Sheffield gave a most interesting talk. A research class of the Division of Continuing Education, under the guidance of David Hey, had been meeting to study local surnames - how they arose, how they spread and their present distribution. Every area had distinctive surnames, Sheffield being no exception - Broomhead, Crapper, Crookes, Elshaw, Furness, Hattersley, Scargill for example. Surmanes arose for a variety of reasons, most commonly occupational - Smith, Miller, nicknames - White, Gray, from father's name - Johnson, Williamson and topographical - Hill, Brook and Green. Many names came from a very localised area such as a farm or small hamlet. It usually meant that this was the place of origin and did not indicate any high position in the locality e.g. Biltcliffe - from Upper and Lower Bilerscliffe Farms near Penistone, Stainforth - from Stoney Ford near Wincobank. The early information had been gained Stannington Brass Band entertains the crowds at Dare Show 92 from the poll tax returns of 1379. Other sources were the list of Cutlers of 1614 and the register of apprentices and freemen from 1624 to 1814.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.
