John Littlewood U18 Brilliancy Prize
The Littlewood family have kindly decided to
give an annual prize of £100 to the most
brilliant game played by an U18 Junior in the
British Championship. This is in memory of
husband and father, John Littlewood, who was one
of the leading British players of his
generation.
The prize is particularly apt because he was the
Director of Junior Chess for a number of years
and he also had a great love of chess
tactics ... his amazing sacrificial victory
at the 1961-62 Hastings Premier against the American Grandmaster Bisguier being a wonderful example
(see below).
