¹ Tentative identification: full name Harry Ward Richardson - of Dewsbury, when he played in the 1956 British Under-18 Championship, then of Tynemouth and King's College, Newcastle. Later lived in Aberdeen (possibly an economics lecturer at the university), later still a professor in the USA. But all this is still unconfirmed.

THE JUNIOR TOURNAMENTS

The entry for the junior tournaments was 138, as opposed to 148 last year, but they were rather differently distributed in the boys’ sections because of changes in the lower age-groupings, which brought in Under-sixteen and Under-fourteen sections instead of the single previous Under-fifteen tournament. The effect was to decant a number from the British Boys’ Championship which had only fifty-eight competitors as against some ninety last time. The sectional qualifying events were also omitted and the usual all-in Swiss events took place with additional rounds, where required.

Play in all the junior sections reached a high standard, particularly in the Boys’ Championship which was a thirteen-round struggle of great intensity. Indeed such is the effort which these boys put into their play that some of them, not surprisingly found the task of playing two rounds in one day had an adverse effect on their form.

The Under-sixteen section, with forty-three competitors, clearly helped to relieve the congestion in the Boys’ Championship and the new Under-fourteen event did well to attract thirty players at the first time of asking.

The entry for the Under-twenty-one Championship attracted the same number as in 1962, but it was not, perhaps, quite so strong. The performance of M. J. Basman, who was still young enough for the Boys’ Championship, was very noteworthy. He is a player of great promise and had just previously performed well in the Northern Open Championship at Whitby.

¹ in BCM, October 1963, p305, listed as scoring 5/11 but 5½/11 in the 1963/64 BCF Yearbook, which appears to be correct.
² Colin Waring, born 2nd qtr of 1942, Manchester, died 30 October 1964, Oldham. He was joint winner of the 1957 British Boys' Under-15 Championship. He had attended Hulme Grammar School and in 1955 there was a newspaper report (Manchester Evening News - Wednesday 09 November 1955, p7) of him collapsing on a bus and being taken to hospital. "... died on 30 October 1964 at the age of twenty-two. He had shared the British Under-15 Championship at Plymouth in 1957, but had been in poor health for some years. He had also been a member of Manchester Chess Club." (Chess and Manchester, Publ. MDCA, 1990, p175)

n.b. the above table (as with most others on this page) taken from the 1963-64 BCF Yearbook. It appeared in alphabetical order, surnames only, with no place of residence and with numerous errors. I have attempted to resolve errors and supplemented initials/forenames from BCM but errors may remain. One such is the game PH Poole v DH Young, rd 4, given as a draw in the yearbook but a score exists with Poole winning. JS

Compiled from the table given on ppn 87-88 of the 1963/64 BCF Yearbook (which features a great many typos amongst the names and the results) and the final scores given on p305 of BCM, October 1963 (with fewer typos). Where I'm not quite sure of the resolution of pairing errors, I have put the pairings in red.
¹ BCM gives this player's name as P. R. Morris but I think it is the Dulwich College and Glorney Cup player Peter R Morriss (born 1947, now of Galway and Ireland - note, double 's'). I can see that I have previously confused him with the player called P. L. Morris who played in the 1967 British Under-16. Apologies for the mix-up.
² In the BCF Yearbook table J G W Rose is credited with 6½ and R J Lee with 5½ whereas in the BCM results it is the other way round. They met in the last round so we can perhaps speculate that this game was the subject of a long-drawn-out appeal process. I presume that preparation of the yearbook took place some considerable time after the results were reported in BCM.

Leicester Evening Mail - Friday 16 August 1963

UNDRESS FOR CHESS

Heavy rain at Bath today drenched a young competitor on his way to the British Chess Federation congress.

Rather than play in his wet trousers he took them off, put them before an electric fire and, with a towel round his waist,
went into the congress room to play his game.

Competitors were so absorbed in their game that few noticed him.

Three hours later he put on his now-dry trousers.

Date	Notes
19 June 2019	Uploaded for the first time in this format. All 154 Championship games (which have been widely available for some time but now with dates and some newspaper sources), plus 80 games from subsidiary events, full results of all competitions, Championship crosstable, etc.
12 May 2020	Added one game from the First-Class section, Geoffrey Chesters vs Bainbridge. Thanks to Brian Denman.
8 May 2021	It's been pointed out on chessgames.com that the end of the game J.Littlewood-J.Penrose (Rd 4) makes no sense as Black has a series of obvious wins from move 36 onwards. Almost certainly an input error at move 34, when White cannot have played Kf1, which is nonsensical. Having examined the game, I've a strong feeling that White actually played 34 Re3 as this makes the most sense in the position, and after which the rest of the score hangs together well. I've substituted Re3 for Kf1 in the score. Later: Andy Ansel has kindly checked the 1963 bulletin and confirms that 34 Re3 was indeed played. Thanks, Andy.
1 May 2023	Added the (atrocious) game S.Pike 0-1 H.Tapper (Girls Under 18).
28 December 2023	A possible amendment to J.Penrose 1-0 M.Freeman (rd 7) applied.
