Tony Stebbings Achieves FM Title

Those of us who know Tony from playing Charlton in the Kent league or as part of the Beckenham & Charlton team in the London League will be happy to learn that he has ("finally!") achieved his FIDE Master title recently.

There's more detail on that news here, which also includes a nice picture of Tony playing board for a "senior" England team against a certain GM V. Korchnoi...

Bournemouth Grand

If you're looking to play one congress this year, it could be this one:

Great facilities and location, good prize money, likely a few GMs will turn up.
