Bristol Chess Times – March 1993

The March edition of Bristol Chess Times in 1993 had a number of hot topics including a debate as to how chess clubs could benefit from the Short vs. Kasparov World Championship match.  John Richards again provides a downloadable PDF for British League Chess historians.

Highlights in March 1993 included:

  • The emerging split in world chess and its consequences on the game;
  • Downend A, Grendal A, South Bristol B, Hanham B, Sun Life B and Thornbury B all leading the respective divisions from 1 – 6;
  • Chess being discussed on Radio Bristol (a big deal without the Internet!)
  • Trialling of the game fee pilot scheme
  • Some lovely game analysis from Steve Boniface and Tyson Mordue
