The only sources for the tournaments held in the Isle of Man in 1990 and 1991 that I have found so far are StarBase 4.56 (games), CHESS, October 1990 (p4) and CHESS, December 1990 (p10). There was no published bulletin and only a handful of games are extant. EDIT: Chris Hunt's column in Halifax Evening Courier, 17 October 1991, has some further details of the second tournament in October 1991, including the fact that Monarch Assurance PLC donated £4,000 in prizes.
