The Hampshire Individual Chess Championship for 1969 was a success for the young Seth Saverymuttu who finished ahead of Gerald Bennett and Marshall Thompson. An article based on the one from the Hampshire Bulletin including more than 20 games is available.

hampshirechesshistory.co.uk/… Article on how I used the dreaded AI to produce Portsmouth league tables and stats from the last 20 or so years results.
With the Chess Olympiad starting shortly a timely post on the 2008 HCA Championship which saw Moses Kawuma of Uganda win the title. The Kawuma family have represented Uganda frequently and two of the family are playing this year. @UgandaChess_UCF

Not posted on social media for a while, but work has continued on the website. Just posted a report on the 1965/66 SCL Individual. This benefited from games available on Britbase and includes at least one player still playing for Hampshire.

Spent the last week ticking off a bucket list item by playing abroad. 9 games in 6 days in the Menorca Open, with 5 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws. Played a couple of decent games and pleased with the experience.

I have been adding oldish Southampton Chess League results to the website, but have now picked up on the County Season, with the 1948/49 added. After winning the SCCU Hampshire the previous year, could Hampshire repeat this success?

After badgering Tony for several years he has sent me his Correspondence Chess games for the website, these include several which were published in BCM. Tony had great success in the time before computers became dominant in correspondence chess.

When I ran the HCA website I had a games page, where players sent me their games. I felt bad that these are no longer available, as the HCA website changed webmasters. I am starting to add some and the first game is a 2008 one by FM Moses Kawuma.

Malcolm Clarke has long been associated with Hants and SCL chess. His career started in the 1970’s, when he played for Eastleigh, but he also played in London for several years. Recently he has been captaining and secretary of Chandler’s Ford chess club.

Hampshire only played the two county matches in the 1946/47 season, and also lost Bournemouth chess club from the association, due to non payment of fees. Details on the HCA season on the website.

The West of England Chess Championship has been running since 1946. I have been sent 5 bulletins for some of the 1960's congresses, which have been scanned and added to the website.

The 1992 Hampshire Individual Chess Championship was won by Southampton Chess Club’s Stephen Bell. Very little information is available, although I will update if additional details are supplied.

Picking up on Hampshire chess clubs again with details added on the Portsmouth chess club, which was formed in 1889 and members include Sir George Thomas, GM Peter Wells.
They have currently won the PDCL Div 1 title 18 times, which is the record.

Picking up on the HCA County season following the 2nd World War (and other Hampshire chess activities). The current post looks at the 1945/46 season where Hampshire played two county matches.

The Portsmouth News "Chess Notes" articles for the following year are now on the website. There are still missing years, but hopefully these will be added when available. After 1997 these seemed to drop off, but I will add any which are relevant.

In the 1938/39 county chess season Hants had just three county matches. This was the last season of Match Captain Francis Elwell, who despite being 80 still scored 2 points from 3 games in the County matches, and won the Southampton Club championship.

Very small post on the 1990 Hampshire Individual added, this is pretty much based on two of the weekly chess note articles in the Portsmouth Evening News. Tony Corkett won his 2nd title.

Slowly adding the Chess Note articles from the Portsmouth News as they are made available. Articles from 1990 are the most recent, joining the 1988/89 ones added recently. These cover Hampshire Chess activities, concentrating on the Portsmouth area.
