Feb-18-07    pawn to QB4: I had to leave yesterday's York-Sheffield match before congratulating our top man on his draw with IM Richard Palliser. Awesome. I don't know if you'd say he was conceding 40 or so years, or that he had the advantage of that much more experience: but there's no doubt about the 59 BCF grading points (well over 300 Elo by any calculation) he was giving this formidable and highly respected opponent. Sadly (for us) Sheffield were missing a few key players and lost pretty heavily, but Dr Hempson showed himself still a real board one. Some day he'll find the team mates. Mar-17-10    pawn to QB4: ...and three years on there he is again, winning a very difficult endgame v David M Adams to take Sheffield over the line in the match v York which presumably decides this year's Woodhouse Cup. Sheffield's answer to Viktor Korchnoi, an honour play alongside him.
