British Rapidplay
Chess 1986-2013 - a little bit of history
Welcome to our webpage for The
British Rapidplay Chess Tournament. Please read on
to find about the past , present and future of the
event… The country’s premier weekend chess
rapidplay event started back in 1986. It was mainly
set up through the work of Nick Nixon from Leeds, who continues to coach
youngsters at chess. Tetley's Brewery and the Yorkshire Post sponsored the
first event, which took place at The Queen’s Hotel, Leeds, donating a
generous several thousand pounds. The winner of that first event with
11/11 was Nigel Short. The event continued, and saw many fine winners
including John Nunn, Murray Chandler, Nigel Davies, Mark Hebden
and William Watson. Further sponsorship came from the National Westminster
Bank, thanks to Bill Hartston. However, the event
disappeared in 1993 along with all its sponsors. In 1994 the event fell
deeply in the red. |
