Birmingham Daily Post, Saturday, 4 April 1992 (Peter Gibbs column)

The Walsall Kipping club is holding its golden jubilee tournament from Saturday April 18 to Monday April 20. Due to sponsorship from Leigh Interests plc and support from the Heart of England Building Society, the weekend tournament has a total prize fund of more than £5,000.

So far entries have been received from six grandmasters. Murray Chandler, Glenn Flear, David Norwood, John Nunn, Mihai Suba and William Watson, and there is a likelihood that the Russian theoretician, Alexei Suetin, will be playing.

All members of the England women's Olympiad team are competing: Susan Arkell [Lalic], Jana Beilin, Sheila Jackson and Natalie [sic - Natasha] Regan. The first two are women grandmasters and Midland players, Jana being a member of the Walsall club.

There are seven English international masters, Demetrios Agnos [Dimitri Anagnostopoulos], Robert Bellin (Walsall), John Emms, Mark Hebden, Paul Littlewood, Andrew Martin and Peter Wells and two Scottish IMs, Colin McNab and Paul Motwani.

Entries and enquiries go to Bill Withnall [address & phone number redacted]. As well as an Open tournament, the Major tournament is for players graded below 161, and the Minor for those with a grade below 126.

There are seven rounds plus a blitz tournament. The venue is the Walsall Campus, Polytechnic, Gorway Road, Walsall.
