While the chess season has not yet fully begun, the second Glorney Cup Fund One-day tournament
at Queen’s University Students' Union marked a successful pipe-opener. The big question everyone
was asking was how would the Gillen brothers fare after picking up the British Under-12 and Under-13
title in Plymouth.
In the last round of the Open, Stephen Gillen faced former Glorney Cup player Howard Beckett on
Board One while twin brother Adrian played the recent winner of the Soanes All—Play—All at the
British Championships in Plymouth, Martin Kelly. In between, Cambridge University player Hon
Tsang squared up against Greg Jackson. Stephen clinched the draw he needed to secure first place
on tiebreak on 5/6 from Hon Tsang, who beat Jackson, and his own brother, Adrian, who
cleverly exploited Kelly’s inexplicable failure to capture a gambit pawn in the French Advanced.
Joint fourth on 4.5 points were Howard Beckett and John McKenna.
In the Novices Under—1200, which, in recent tournaments, has been an unqualified
success in attracting new blood to chess events, 22 keen players fought it out
for first place; although not a complete 100 per cent success, but a "parte" success for Colin Parte
(Banger); he only took the title on tiebreak on 5/6 from Stephen Shaw (Newtownards), with evergreen
Sam Cree (Fords) on 4.5 in third, the same score as age prize winner Ken Yuen (Methody).
For details of the next one—day tournament at the Winston Hotel, Bangor, on Saturday, September 23,

WHITE: M. Addidle (Belfast);
