Richard Palliser reports (July 2003): The 13th (and final) Smith & Williamson Young Masters takes place again at the excellent venue of Millfield School, Somerset from 9-17 July. Final: GM Evgeny Prokopchuk (RUS) and FM Craig Hanley (ENG) finished 1st= with 6½/9. 3-4th Gawain Jones & IM Karl Mah (both ENG) 5½, with six players on 5. Every game bar one was drawn in the last round. The exception was the extraordinary game between back-marker Thomas Nixon and Gabor Pinter. Nixon's first win of the tournament came courteous of some beginner-like play from the Hungarian IM: Pinter,G (2376) - Nixon,T (2226): 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 exd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nxc6 bxc6 6 Nd2 Bc5 7 Bd3 d6 8 a4?? Ng4 9 0-0?? Qh4 10 Nf3 Nxf2 0-1. A FIDE-Rated event ran alongside and was won by J Ezra Lutton with 8½/11 ahead of Charlie Linford 8. Sadly, this is the last time the tournament will be sponsored by Smith & Williamson, who must be thanked for their great generosity over the years.
