THE 82nd BRITISH CHESS CHAMPIONSHIPS SWANSEA 1995

We last visited Swansea in 1987 when Nigel Short won the Championship. The venue, a bowls hall in The Leisure Centre, is plenty big enough at 12,000 sq.ft, but certainly is not without its problems. We knew there was an inadequate number of side rooms. Thus there was no real analysis room in the afternoons and the Commentary Room usually had to be reset each day. However, the main problem was that the whole of Europe was gripped by a heat wave and it was also extremely humid. The forced ventilation in the Centre was quite unable to cope and it was impossible to find huge fans which, in any case, would only have swirled sticky air around. Not as bad as Cuba where Tony Miles said it is his custom after a game to return to his room, take a shower, and only then undress, but bad enough. Naturally this led to some organisers and players moving at half their normal speed. A great pity because there is no doubt that Swansea is a fine place to spend two weeks in the summer. Still, most of the 923 entries enjoyed themselves.

The British Championship was hotly contested. First Matthew Sadler and Aaron Summerscale took the lead but then Chris Ward put a spoke in the young grandmaster’s wheels and beat him so that there was no clear leader at the end of the first week. Keith Arkell was the next to strike the front with 6/7 but again Chris did his work to bring him back to earth. Now Jonathan Parker led with 6½/8 but Jonathan Levitt beat him to take the lead with 7/9. Chris was unable to fulfil his destiny and beat Jonathan Levitt in round 10. They only drew and this brought a last round encounter between Matthew Sadler and Jonathan Levitt which the younger GM won convincingly. This may seem to have been just a game of musical chairs which happened to conclude with a win by Matthew but he achieved the best rating performance of 2619 and Aaron Summerscale’s second with 8/11 was the next best with 2581. Only Simon Williams achieved an IM norm but other youngsters such as Richard Bates, Brian Kelly, Luke McShane, Nicholas Pert, Charles Cobb and James Vigus added to their reputations.

The Major Open attracted 124 entries, a record. This is clearly partly due to the fact that international ratings have now been extended down to 2005. Gary Quillan won the tournament clearly enough, despite losing to Andrew Mack who finished joint second with Darryl Wolstencroft. Adam Hunt showed a welcome return to form, winning the British Under 18 Championship, sharing joint honours with his sister Harriet who won the British Ladies’. Mandy Haslinger won the Under-18 Girls', her eighth such title. One more to go to equal her sister’s record nine. Brothers Gareth and Stewart have each held a junior title apiece. Seven players achieved full international ratings and 18 partials.

The British Championships are open to players from the Commonwealth and South African players broke new ground in playing for the first time. We are more used to seeing Indians come and often walk off with junior trophies. This year was no exception.

Graham Lee and Andrew Martin formed the Commentary team. Both said they would have been unable to keep up the flow alone. Our cricket match is a long-established tradition. Less expected was the way in which we routed the opposition. A bridge match now seems an established custom and we drew honourably against the local Swansea Club. Something is going to have to be done about the Ledger brothers winning the Quiz. A football match had been scheduled but the centre converted the hall into an ice rink at the last moment. I chickened out of arranging ice hockey instead. I was uncertain our insurance would cover this activity.

The BCF took the opportunity to honour Welsh organisers. Frank Hatto was invested as a Honorary Life Member and Peter Purland received the Richard Boxall Plate for services to the Congress. Other organisers included Richard Furness, David Welch, George Smith, Mike O'Hara, David, Paul and Richard Carpenter, Eric Croker, Victor Cross, Roger Edwards, Neil Graham, Alex McFarlane, Rod McShane, Peter Purland, John Robinson, Phil Short, Kevin Staveley, John Turnock, Monica Vann, David Wallace, Gerry Walsh, Alec Webster, David Woodruff, Mike Burrows and Denis Walker. Chess Magazine staff created the bulletins of the Championship and Junior while Monica Vann put together that for the Major Open.

Traditions continuously grow at this event. The Roy Clues Junior Chess Challenge may be one such. This was named for the past President of the Welsh Chess Union who died earlier this year. It was an 8 player double-round jamboree won by England Over-11, with teams from the Czech Republic, Wales, England Under-11 and the Commonwealth competing. This is the first time there has ever been a Commonwealth side. The Roy Clues Trophy for the most meritorious performance by a Welsh player at the congress was provided anonymously but presented at the prizegiving by his three sons and awarded to Richard Jones who shared the Under-13 title.

The venue at Nottingham University will be smaller next year (although there will be ample side rooms) but, rest assured, the weather will be cold. The East Midlands Conference Centre is fully air-conditioned.

Date	Notes
31 July 2021	First upload to BritBase though most of the games (originally 223 Championship games) have been available elsewhere for some time. However, the games have been much improved; they now have dates and round numbers and some quite serious errors have been eradicated from the games as they appeared on Big/Mega Database 2020. I have also transcribed a full crosstable from the BCF Yearbook and a partial crosstable for the Major Open.
3 August 2021	A further 13 games added: 4 from the Championship proper, 2 from the Major Open, 1 from the Rapidplay and 6 from the Weekend Intermediate. My thanks to Andy Ansel and Brian Denman for the extra games.
7 June 2023	Added the game J.Badger 0-1 J.Ho, U14 Championship, found in the December 1995 issue of CHESS.
4 July 2024	Added the 11 games that Norman Stephenson played in the Major Open. My thanks to Norman for supplying the scores.
