British Championship (2016) Michael Adams won the British Chess Championships 2016 in Bournemouth (25 July - 5 August) to add to his four previous British titles. His score of 10/11 equals the record set by Julian Michael Hodgson in 1992 and, given that future championships are planned to be run over nine rounds, this was probably the last opportunity for the record to be equalled or exceeded. (1) Jovanka Houska won the British Women's title with a score of 7/11. She defeated Lentzos in the final round but already had the Championships in the bag with a round in hand.

Wonderful cameo by Adams, is he still assisting Carlsen for matches? Aug-06-16    kingfu: Whither Nigel? Aug-06-16    PhilFeeley: Justin Tan should get a GM norm. Aug-08-16    Sokrates: <jith1207: ... Wonderful cameo by Adams ...> Very true. Although Adams's star is fading on the international stage (# 22 for the moment), he has once more demonstrated his supremacy on the British Isles. No losses and a clear win says it all, well done! Aug-09-16    Mr. V: <Sokrates> I wouldn't say fading, he's been pretty consistent for a couple of years now. Of course, it's inevitable he'll be on a downward trajectory, but evidently he has slowed that trend down quite a bit. Aug-10-16    Chessinfinite: A very Karpov like performance by Mickey.. 10/11 is Fischeresque, nice.. All the best to Adams. Aug-10-16    starry2013: Adams highest rating was September 2013, and for the last 3 years he's been been in the top 20 most of the time, a couple of times he got to 12. Aug-13-16    Sokrates: <Mr. V>, <starry2013> - I don't disagree with you. Adams is, as demonstrated here, still a very very strong player. What I meant was: but not in the top 10 elite, not among those who could strive for the throne. Aug-13-16    HeMateMe: <Whither Nigel?> Still suffering a Brexit hangover? Aug-13-16    morfishine: Terrific tournament by Adams! I really thought Howell would win this Sep-01-16    starry2013: Sokrates <not among those who could strive for the throne> In reality most aren't really striving for the throne. I think his main aim is to just try and do his personal best, that's always a target to improve on.
