Nigel Short plays Juniors from Manchester.
Grand Master Nigel Short is arguably the finest post war chess player to emerge from the United Kingdom. So naturally when he was invited to Manchester to play local Juniors, there was a queue of keen young chess players ready to take him on. The event was organised by Manchester Junior Chess in conjunction with the Manchester Chess Federation and Bolton School. The event celebrated 100 years of chess at Bolton School.
On Friday 18th February, Nigel came back to Bolton School and met boys and girls from the current chess clubs at the school. He showed them one of his most famous games (Short vs. Timman Tilburg 1991) and then proceeded to play thirty Bolton School children. After three hours of play he successfully won all boards. The best game prize went to Isabel Cotogni of Bolton Girls School and Worsley Chess Club.
It was good to see Alan Beardsworth (formerly of Bolton School and a past captain of the English Chess Team, and International Master Jeff Horner in attendance to help the children.
On Saturday 19th February, Nigel came back to Bolton School, to play children from all over Manchester and even some from further away. Again the chess knowledge of a Grand Master was too much for our juniors and he won all thirty games. But again some ten games were being hotly fought after three hours of play. The best game prizes were won by Daniel Abbas and Jennifer Neil.
Pictured are two local players, Jennifer Neil (Bolton Chess Club) and Daniel Abbas (Three C’s) deep in thought, next to Nathan Taylor (Bolton Chess Club). Jennifer and Daniel shared the best game prize and took home chess books from Nigel.

Teams from Greater Manchester (including Manchester Oldham and Tameside) took part in the ECF Junior County Championships. The event was held at Eton College in the shadow of Windsor Castle.
The under eighteen team came in 8th place, despite having a very young team. Outstanding results by Jason Lau (Three C’s) who achieved a 100% score and Tim Chatys who achieved 75%.
The Under 14 team got off to a poor start, obviously overawed by their august surroundings, but they progressed well during the day, finishing joint 4th but only two points behind the winners. The outstanding results were from Daniel Abbas (Three C’s), and Jack Virgin (Worsley Chess Club). Full results
