British Graded Championships

[Alex McFarlane]

I am currently working on the programme for this year's British but have failed to find the Graded Champions for 1999 and 2000. Can anyone help?

I'm also looking for first names for A Coupe (U125, 1996), C Dunlop (U100, 1996), D Flynn (U125 1998), J Clarke (U100, 1998)

Thanks!!

2000

U 125 Kenji O Nicholas - I recently saw the cross table

from memory

2000
U150 Roger Hardy - this may have been a tie
U175 Geoff Sage

1996
C Dunlop - was probably Chris J Dunlop

Edit: 1999/2000 graded champs are here - http://www.britishchess08.com/programme_08.htm

I suggest BCF ChessMoves, presumably with all back numbers held at the ECF office, is your best source.

Alex, the last programme which listed graded champions omitted my name (joint winner U125 in 2006).

[Alex McFarlane]

Michael - thanks for that. And the link - My search of the Internet failed to find that.

Paul - Had thought of something similar but those records don't always have the first name and mistakes seem to crop up (see Britchess for examples from yearbook). That is my fall back but I hope to get feedback from participants or clubmates of winners as well.

Mike - You'll be glad to know I already had you down as sharing with Nicholas Carding.

Again, thanks folks.

A Coupe must be Alan D Coupe. D Flynn is presumably David Flynn. J Clarke could be John W. Clarke of Brixham (probably most likely given the congress was held in Torquay), John Clarke of Wigan or, less plausibly, John L. Clarke of Margate who would have been ungraded at the time.

The J.clarke you are looking for is John Clarke of Brixham chess club, I know this because I went for a drink with him after he won it !
