A good Trivial Pursuits quiz is, ?We know the first World Junior Chess Championship was held in Birmingham in 1951. When was the first World Girls Championship held?? The answer is in 1927 and, of course, in England . Vera Menchik won it the same year as she went on to win the First Women?s World Championship. Presumably there was considerable interest in female chess in this era because Vera came to live in England . In truth, nearly all the entrants were British. The event died with the advent of the Second World War and was only revived in the 1970s. We had to wait for Harriet Hunt to win the World Girls Under 20 Championship 50 year after Rowena Drew (later Bruce). Elaine Saunders (now Pritchard) is one of the girls who gained the title before the Second World War and she is still very much alive, though not now playing chess competitively. In 1973, Susan Caldwell and Sheila Jackson asked for permission to play in the British Boys Championship in the same age group. They felt there was not enough competition among their peers. It was refused, after all, how can a girl play in a boy?s championship? By the following year the regulations had been changed and it became the British Under 18 Championship. Yet, when I played in the British Boys (Under-18) in 1956 and 1957, I found nothing strange in there being a separate girl?s event. Since 1974 there has been only one tournament, with the girl champion being the highest placed player in the open age group event. In 1994 Tania Sachdev of India (who played in Gibraltar in 2007, who is playing in 2008 and is current Asian and Indian Women?s Champion) collected five trophies. British Under 9, British Under 9 Girls, British Under 10, British Under 10 Girls and British Under 11 Girls. As a seven year old, her hands could not grasp all five trophies simultaneously. A girl winning the overall event has become sufficiently commonplace that, where necessary, an overall winner trophy is presented, and also the highest placed boy and highest placed girl.

Shopping Deals Benjamin Franklin The game of chess was especially important to Benjamin Franklin, and he likened his life of business and diplomacy to the game. In his Morals of Chess (1779) Franklin wrote, ?Life is a kind of Chess, in which we often have Points to gain, & Competitors or Adversaries to contend with. . . .The game is so full of events . . . that one is encouraged to continue the contest to the last, in hopes of Victory from our own skill.? Franklin?s own life was instrumental in the founding of the United States and influential in its course since. He was the only person to help draft and to sign all of the nation?s founding documents: The Declaration of Independence, in 1776; the Treaty of Paris, in 1783; and the Constitution of the United States, in 1787. In addition, he negotiated and signed the Treaty of Amity with France, in 1778, which secured France?s financial and military support without which the American Revolution would likely have foundered. While living in the Paris suburb of Passy from 1776 to 1785, Franklin was the American rebels? representative not only to the French court but to the world. He frequently entertained friends, spies, and fellow statesmen. Franklin?s continued popularity with the French helped guarantee his greatest diplomatic victory, the 1783 Treaty of Paris, officially ending America?s Revolutionary War with Great Britain. It was during this time in Paris that Franklin likely purchased the missing table around which he would have discussed his official duties as well as pursued his passion for chess. This would make the table witness to some of the most diplomatically delicate moments in American history.

		Shopping Deals IWCCI FRIENDS Andrew Roberts He is a pillar in the community and a successful businessman which is to say he is a thinker. He shared with me, concerning DUI, that people have to be responsible for their actions and alcohol is no excuse. To know one is going to consume alcohol, it takes very little planning to arrange transpotation. One should know not to drive after having that first drink.
		Up and coming talent, Jerome Chisom. His goal is become a grandmaster and IWCCI is honored to be a part of his dream! We will do our part, the rest will be up to him!
