SWANSEA CONGRESS, 1951 (from the 1950-51 British Chess Federation Yearbook, pps 31-32)

The Annual Congress in 1951 was held in the University College, Swansea, by kind permission of the Senate, and was run under the auspices of the South Wales Chess Association. The opening on August the 20th, was presided over by Mr. R. H. Seel, J.P., President of the S.W.C.A. [South Wales Chess Association], and the Congress was declared open by the Deputy Mayor of Swansea.

The Championship resolved into struggle between last year’s champion, R. J. Broadbent, and E. Klein, who was runner-up, and the result was in doubt until the last round, when the latter established a half point lead over his rival to take the title with 8½ points. H. Golombek and W. Ritson Morry, each with 7 pts., shared 3rd place.

In the Ladies’ Championship, Mrs. Bruce was in her best form and made no mistake in running out the winner with 8 points out of 8, a very fine performance. Miss Sunnucks, a newcomer to the competition, came second with 6½, and Miss Henniker-Heaton, 3rd with 5½.

1951 BCF MAJOR OPEN

R. F. Boxall, twenty-nine-year-old Kent player and winner of the 1948 "Battle of Britain" Tourney, qualified for next year’s British Championship by winning the Major Open, a strong "Swiss" field of thirty-two, with a score of eight wins, one draw, and two losses. This score is an indication of keen competition provided by a talented group of young players like Geoffrey Harris, Peter Oakley, Peter Harris, from the Birmingham area, Grant Berriman of Australia, and Ian Bradley, of Doncaster.

Note: this partial crosstable was compiled mainly from newspaper reports in the Hastings and St Leonards Observer, 7 April 1951, and the Birmingham Daily Post, 7 April, since neither BCM nor CHESS featured detailed results. The Hastings newspaper gives the scores of all players after the penultimate round 8 but, frustratingly, there is no equivalent record of all scores after the final round, though the Birmingham newspaper has most of the individual round 9 results and we have definite scores for all those with 5½ or more points. Hence the final scores of eight players are not known for certain. I have shown each of their possible or likely scores in brackets: the number given is their known round 8 total plus either 0 or ½. Zero is the likely outcome for Bamford and Ward (since it is known that neither of them reached 5½ and we need to find losers for two of the winners who we know finished with 6/9) but a completely arbitrary ½ point for the other six.

BOYS’ EASTER CONGRESS

The twenty-sixth British Boys’ Championship, played between April 2nd and 7th, at Hastings, had an entry of thirty-four boys. For the third time in succession, Malcolm N. Barker, of King Edward’s School, Birmingham, was the winner. His predecessors as winners three times were: J. B. Craddock and A. R. Duff.

The Swiss System in the hands of F. A. Rhoden worked very well and unquestionably Barker was the star boy. In no game, with one possible exception, had he the worst of it. [Eric] Leyns (Rugby) might have had better chances than a draw, if after sacrificing a Knight he had pursued his combination and won Barker’s Queen for a Rook.

Sir George Thomas’s two prizes for the best-played games were both won by Barker and the two brilliancy prizes, presented by Mr. Du Mont, were awarded to M. Davis for his games against P. C. Gibbs and J. B. Phipps. The latter game went [see viewer/download].

The final scores were: [Malcolm Neil] Barker 8 [out of 9], [Robert Edmond] Borland (Plymouth) 7, [Michael] Davis (Bexhill) 6½, [Peter Campbell] Gibbs (Bradford) and [Gilbert] Jessup (William Ellis School, Highgate) 6.

D T A [Derek Thomas Anthony] Lamport, of Brighton, with 5½ won the Rider Shield for the highest score of a Sussex born boy, as he had done also in 1948.

The players generally concentrated far better than in previous years. There was far less wandering about and some really “chessy” ideas were shown by several boys, though they sometimes failed in their execution, often because they had used up too much time.

On the first day, one boy announced to a friend: "I have sacrificed my Queen.” In due course, however, he only got three pieces for it and failed to win.

A Scots boy missed an opportunity to win a piece. A compatriot spectator commented: “He canna be a Scot if he refuses something for nothing.”

Besides the Championship there were three Open Sections comprising twenty local boys. Results were—

Open A: G. Dengate (King’s College, St. Leonards) and G. C. Thompson (Steyning Grammar School) tied first with 4 each.

Open B: D. Smith (Bexhill Grammar School) 4; B. Unsworth (St. Leonards Modern School) 3½.

Open C: C. M. Upton (Hastings Grammar School) 6; and four boys shared second prize, J. Driver, B. E. Naish, R. H. Walker, and B. Phillips.

The prizes were presented by the Mayor, Alderman J. D. Cooper, J.P., supported by the President of the Hastings Club, Mr. P. J. Morren and A. A. Rider, Honorary Secretary. The boys presented gifts to Miss Lankey and Mrs. Robinson for their kind attention.
