| Feb-16-23 | | Atterdag: Interesting tournament. The official site, by The English Chess Federation, says about prizes: 4th place for gives you £ 300.
1st place for "English women" £ 250.
Since the women participate with the men, it must mean first among the women. So, if Harriet Hunt should win the whole tournament, she should expect £ 550 ! :-) Assuming HH is genuine English and not some foreign intruder. Otherwise, I can safely say that I don't recognize any of the participants' names. |
|
Feb-16-23
 | | Dionysius1: Blimey! Michael Adams has a certain amount of recognition hereabouts, and Mark Hebdon, Keith Arkell and Matthew Turner are all pretty recognisable to this lowly kibitzer. Perhaps their names are too well hidden in the list? |
|

 | | MissScarlett: No Peter Lalic. Disappointing! |
|
| Feb-16-23 | | goodevans: Poor Nicholas Warner, losing his first two games including one to NN: Cambridge International Open (2023)/NN That's NN's first win since 2021. Seems that all the practice he put in last year against User: FSR has finally paid off. ;o) |
|
| Feb-16-23 | | goodevans: <Dionysius1> Also Danny Gormally and current British Champion, Harry Grieve. Seems this event has attracted more of the UK's top players than the British Championship itself did. |
|
| Feb-16-23 | | Atterdag: Admittedly, I only checked the short list above and not the complete list. Mike Adams is, of course, well-known to me. Many players seem to be in the 2400-2600 segment. |
|
Feb-16-23
 | | FSR: <goodevans> Don't sell NN short. He annihilated me in F Rhine vs NN, 2020, and has beaten many of the greats from Philidor to Kasparov. https://www.chessgames.com/perl/che... |

 | | HeMateMe: Was the Philby spy ring Cambridge students? |
|
Feb-16-23
 | | perfidious: Cantabrigians and Oxonians. |
|
Feb-17-23
| | HeMateMe: sounds latin...the whole spy ring, all four of them, were in college at the same time, I believe. The elusive and often pondered 'fifth man', <Miss Scarlett> might have also been there, on the custodial staff... |
|
| Feb-17-23 | | Sally Simpson: They all went to Cambridge. Blunt, Burgess, Maclean, Philby and The fifth man was Cairncross. This lad James Cairncross was at one time thought to be the spy John Cairncross after a letter was published in the January 1991 BCCA magazine for Correspondence Chess. "'It may interest younger readers to know that John Cairncross, the so-called fifth man, identified by the research of Oleg Gordievsky and Christopher Andrew, was joint BCCA Champion in 1947." T.D. Harding cleared it up and proved James was not John the spy. So that was that till Alan Mac found another J. Cairncross who played in the Scottish Championship....read on. https://www.chessscotland.com/docum... |
|
Feb-17-23
| | perfidious: When Peter Wright wrote <Spycatcher>, published in 1987, it was still not clear who the <Fifth Man> was; only in the 1990s did it become known that Cairncross was that mysterious figure. Anthony Blunt was older by several years than the other members of the Ring of Five and became a talent spotter for the Soviets. |
|
Feb-17-23
| | HeMateMe: I remember reading spycatcher. I don't recall why the Brit government was trying to suppress it. Seemed a bit of a dull book. |
|
| Feb-17-23 | | cocker: No Oxonians, 4 of them were at Trinity College, Cambridge, the other (Maclean) next door at Trinity Hall. |
|
| Feb-17-23 | | goodevans: You can never trust a 'Tab'. |
|
| Feb-18-23 | | Atterdag: All this somehow revokes "The Browning Version" in my mind. Unforgettable masterpiece from 1994 with stellar performances by Albert Finney and Greta Scacchi among others. |
|
Feb-21-23
| | HeMateMe: Adams had to go +7 to win this. No room for draws. |
