Hampshire County Chess Season 1983 / 84

Hampshire were fielding one of their strongest teams in the 1983 / 84 WECU season with the A team winning all their matches in the Howard Meek Championship, and whilst the B team were not as as successful they still managed three wins, one draw and a loss in the Wayling Cup competition.

Hampshire A came unstuck in the National stages with an extremely tough quarter final against Essex.

Hampshire’s match captain for this season was Peter Marshall.

WECU Jamboree – 17 September 1983 – Taunton

Six counties were represented in the WECU Senior Jamboree which kick-started the season. A very close contest saw Hampshire finish joint second, behind Gloucestershire and tied with Devon and Somerset. Hampshire winners were Gerald Bennett, Stephen Bell, Arthur Brameld, KR Fuller, Philip Rossiter and D Smith. Also noticeable was PG Stevenson drawing against the 12 year old Michael Adams.

There was also a Graded Jamboree which Hampshire did not enter, this was won by Somerset II. Interestingly this also had North Devon and Torbay as well as a number of the County second teams.

The tables were taken from the Westward Ho! Dec 1983 edition No 28.

Hampshire – Gloucestershire – 15 October 1983 – Devizes

Hampshire’s first league match of the season was against Gloucestershire with the A and B teams playing over 16 boards each in Devizes (Wiltshire). The match was played at Devizes, which was the same venue as the Somerset and Wiltshire matches.

There is some confusion to location as the results I had received separately from Arthur Bramled had this played at Warminster, but the reports in the Archives state Devizes.

Hampshire’s record against Gloucestershire is very close and from the records I have Gloucestershire are narrowly ahead (28 wins, 8 draws, 27 losses). But this was a strong Hampshire team outgrading Gloucestershire by an average of 13 points in the A team and 14 in the B team. Hampshire won both matches by 10 points to 6.

For the A team the damage was done on the top boards with boards one to three all winning and our first loss not occurring until board 11. Hampshire A team winners were future GM Peter Wells, FM Gerald Bennett, Arthur Brameld (all graded over 200), KR Fuller, Martin Newbury, Martin Buckmaster, PD Miller and TI Cowling.

Arthur Brameld played the Portsmouth Gambit against S Popham and although he did not initially obtain the best position, a few tactical shots enabled him to win the game.

The B team were equally impressive, again scoring heavily on the top boards (four points from the top five boards). Our winners were Stuart Dean, P Johnson, Iain Sherman, Bill Purkiss, AD Crossin, J Arney, AK Blades and GJ Balls.

A good start to the season for Hampshire, beating Gloucestershire who had finished 2nd in the Howard Meek Championship (behind Devon) the previous season. Although the Wayling Cup would be extremally difficult to win as Devon and Somerset were always strong, this win would help Hampshire’s effort in this cup.

Hampshire – Cornwall – 12 November 1983 – Exeter

The long journey to Exeter to play Cornwall was the next fixture, although this was just a A team match. As Cornwall normally enter a A and B team it may be that Hampshire defaulted the B team match, although this is just a guess as I do not have any information on this.

Due to the longer distance this is normally the match which Hampshire field their weakest team, this season was no different with the average grade much lower than the other matches, and no players graded over 200. That said it was still a strong team and Hampshire were comfortable winners 10½ to 5½.

KR Fuller, Julian Corfield, PG Stevenson, Chris Baker, Les Allen, Peter Marshall (default), Len Walters, Jon D’Souza-Eva and Stephen Le Fevre were the Hampshire winners, whilst Martin Newbury had the pleasure of playing (and losing to future Super GM Michael Adams).

Worth noting that Hampshire have played 36 matches against Cornwall (ignoring online) and the players that have played the most include a number of the ones from this match.

• Stephen Le Fevre – 25 games
• Martin Newbury – 25 games
• Len Walters – 22 games
• Peter Marshall – 21 games

Hampshire – Dorset – 28 January 1984 – Southampton

From the match with the longest distance to travel to the one with the shortest! This had the added bonus of being played in Southampton and therefore this really counted as a home fixture, although it was not that far for Dorset to travel.

Surprisingly Hampshire had a weaker team than in their match against Gloucestershire with the A team graded 177 compared to 188 in that match. For example TI Cowling played on board 10 rather than board 16 against Gloucestershire. The B team was slightly stronger but that was over ten boards rather than the normal sixteen due to the defaulted games.

Unlike the previous matches Hampshire were not as dominant on the top boards, with Dorset scoring three points from the top five boards. But lower down the strength in depth started to show and Hampshire were comfortable 10½ – 5½ winners.

Hampshire winners were Martin Buckmaster, Iain Stenhouse, David Bell, RJ Lock, Stuart Dean, P Johnson, and Les Allen (at least four of these were Southampton Chess club players).

The B team were much too strong for the Dorset team, only dropping one and half points from the ten games (Dorset defaulted six boards). This was not unexpected as they out-graded them on average by 33 points.

Hampshire – Wiltshire 18 Feb 1984 – Devizes

Wiltshire only entered a team into the Wayling Cup as I cannot find any details on a A team match. I don’t have the Wiltshire grades for this, but this seems to have been a max 175 grade for the teams as Hampshire’s board one was graded 175.

A comfortable 9½ – 5½ win for Hampshire with T Cowling, Dominic Tunks, Peter Marshall, WH Silber, AD Crossin, GJ Balls, P George and Andrew Smith our winners.

Hampshire – Somerset – 3 March 1984 – Devizes

Hampshire had mixed fortunes against Somerset, with the A team winning 9½ – 6½, but the B team losing heavily only scoring 4 points to Somerset’s 12.

A very strong A team, which again included the three players graded over 200, who had played against Gloucestershire. With an average grade of 186, these were needed as Somerset also had an impressive team. Hampshire’s winners were Peter Wells, Arthur Brameld, GD Tidmarsh, Chris B Baker, Martin Newbury, David Bell, Andrew Faller and Stuart Dean.

Arthur Brameld played an impressive positional game against S Martinez where he squeezed his opponent in a Bishop and Pawn ending. Martinez had a double isolated pawn which made it very difficult to defend.

Somerset had a strong A team, but I think they Wayling Cup was a more realistic trophy for them than the Howard Meek and this can be seen from their very strong B team which outgraded the Hampshire team by five points. You would still expect a close result, but this was not the case as Somerset crushed Hampshire 12 – 4.

D Smith was the only Hampshire B team player who won, although Somerset’s David Holmes would later play for Hampshire a couple of times and in the Southampton Chess league for many years (normally sat next to me drifting into time trouble).

Hampshire – Devon – 17 March 1984 – Ilminster

Devon were the reigning WECU champions (not an unusual position) and you would expect this to be a tough match for both the A and the B team. Hampshire had two of their 200+ graded players in the team and averaged 184 which was 10 points more than Devon (although I don’t have all of their grades). These games do not always come down to the grades though, but Hampshire managed a fine 10 – 6 win.

The details I have state that the result was amended to 10 – 2 as Devon fielded two ineligible players in the match.

Peter Well, Philip Rossiter (one of the best juniors in England at the time), PG Stevenson, Iain Stenhouse, Andrew Faller and TI Cowling were the Hampshire winners whilst future Hampshire Chess Secretary John Wheeler along with A Boyne won for Devon. This meant Hampshire A had won all their matches and were successful in winning the Howard Meek Trophy. With this win they moved onto the National Stages of the County Championship.

I asked John Wheeler if he had his game from this match so that an opposition win is included in the article. John mentioned that it was not that interesting a game, but I think it shows White snuffing out Black’s planned Kingside storm which he would be looking to play in the King’s Indian Defence. He thinks Simon Roe was probably a student at Southampton University and as he only played for Hampshire between 1983 and 1985 I would agree with this assumption.

Arthur’s drawn against John’s brother George was a tactical battle, with both players leaving pieces on prise and in the final position Black had two Queens, but White had a perpetual check.

For the B team, Hampshire and Devon could not be separated and tied the match 8 points each. Future Match Captain Dominic Tunks, D Smith, AD Crossin, Brian Otway, P George and A Prince were the Hampshire winners.

Hampshire – Essex – 28 April 1984 – National Quarter Final – Guildford

Hampshire fielded a strong team against Essex in the quarter finals of the Nationals. I am not sure if this was the Open or the Minor, but either way Essex were a difficult county to face with a number of their players fairly well known. Their boards two to four were (or would become) Fide Masters.

Hampshire were competitive, but ultimately lost 10 – 6. Hampshire winners were Philip Rossiter, David Bell and Stuart Dean.

Summary

This was a very successful season for Hampshire, winning the Howard Meek Championship and being able to a field a very consistent team over the season. Peter Marshall was a natural organiser, a great Match Captain and held various Hampshire and Southampton officer posts during his chess career (he was HCA President this year). He was also instrumental in bringing the British Chess Championship to Southampton in 1986.

A mixture of experienced and young players were involved, which often leads to success. In 1983 Hampshire won the U18 National Championship and Philip Rossiter, Peter Wells, KR Fuller, Dominic Tunks, KR Walker and AG Daley who were all part of that team played for the Hampshire County teams this season. In addition I noticed that Bill Purkiss, Iain Sherman and Martin Buckmaster as other young players who were also involved.

On the more senior side there were Peter Marshall (first game for county in 1958 (see note below)), Arthur Brameld (1960), AD Crossin (1965), Iain Stenhouse (1966), Len Walters (1959), Martin Newbury (1968), Les Allen (1962) and RC Clark (1962).

Note

There is a period between post second World War and 1958 where I do not have individual match results and a number of players such as Peter Marshall and Len Walters would have likely played in this period.

Match Scorecards

A number of the Match Scorecards are in the HCA Archives which I have scanned as below. These give additional information which I find interesting, such as some of the clubs, adjudicated games and even notes on which players paid via others.
