Most Recent British Grandmaster

Post by David Sedgwick » Fri Sep 28, 2012 10:25 pm

Q. Which British man or woman became a Grandmaster most recently.

Yes, it is a trick question. I'll give the answer in a couple of days, unless someone posts it on here in the meantime.

Yes, spot on. Well done.

Many congratulations to Christopher. Congratulations also to Christopher Reeves and Brian Stephenson, who also obtained titles at the recent World Federation for Chess Composition Congress.

I have just posted a notice of Christopher's GM title on the BCPS website. It links to a short biography of Christopher and to some helpmates by him:

I got lucky. I had no idea that Christopher was Scottish.
