  GrahamClayton: Sinclair was the winner of David Norwood's 2005 "Wackiest Chess Game Competition" in the Daily Telegraph newspaper for this bizarre effort from the 1973 World U-20 championship:

  Stonehenge: Teeside should be Teesside, but:

<It is common to see Teesside spelled incorrectly: Teeside, with the first 's' dropped>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teesside

May-16-15  zanzibar: Curiously, this preeminent source uses Teeside:

https://books.google.com/books?id=G...

If it's good enough for <BCM v20 (1900) p100>...

I wonder if the name changed, or if it's like the situation we have here in MA with some towns having two names:

Foxborough vs Foxboro
Marlborough vs Marlboro

(Probably not, given wiki)

But most always the simpler spelling eventually wins.

Google Search numbers:

"chess teesside" = 31.9 khits
"chess teeside" = 228 khits

By the way, are you sure it's not <Tees-side>?

May-16-15  zanzibar: A more contemporary <Tees-side>:

May-18-15  zanzibar: Another spelling, sans hyphen, appears in this excerpt:

<The Cleveland Chess Association was originally known as the <Tees Side> Chess Association and can claim to be one of the oldest chess associations in Britain.

The Tees Side Chess Association was founded in 1883 by the representatives of the Stockton and Middlesbrough chess clubs meeting at the Literary Institute in Stockton on 17th October and other local clubs were invited to join shortly afterwards. The first recorded President was a Mr H.G. Spence [...]

In its first year it was recorded in the minutes that a match had been arranged over 10 boards with the Newcastle Chess Club to be played at Stockton on 31st January 1884.>
