SUMMARY:Death Anniversary of Dr. Julian Farrand QC (Hon) (13-viii-1935 17-vii-2020)
DESCRIPTION:BCN mourns the passing of Dr. Julian Farrand (13-viii-1935 17-vii-2020). He was 84 years of age. \nJulian Thomas Farrand was born August 13th\, 1935 in Doncaster in the West Riding of Yorkshire. \nDr. Farrand QC(Hon)\, formerly the Insurance Ombudsman\, became the Pensions Ombudsman\, and he had been a Law Commissioner and a University Professor of Law at the University of Manchester where he was Dean of the faculty. \nMost recently he lived in Morpeth\, London\, SW1. \nDr JULIAN FARRAND Pensions Ombudsman COMPULSORY CREDIT: UPPA/Photoshot Photo UKWT 011879/A-32a 31.07.1996\nHis first recorded game in Megabase 2020 was white at the 1968 British Championships in Bristol against life-long friend CGM Keith Bevan Richardson. Together with Raymond Brunton Edwards\, Julian and Keith were long-time trustees of the BCFs Permanent Invested Fund (PIF). \nJulian played for Pimlico\, Cavendish and Insurance in the London League and he maintained a standard play grading of 172A in 2020 as well as a FIDE rating of 1943 for standard play. He also played in the London Public Services League\, the Central London League and the City Chess Association League. He made regular appearances in the Bronowski Trophy competition and the World Senior’s Team Tournament. \nHis (according to Megabase 2020) peak Elo rating was 2238 in April\, 2004 aged 69. It is likely to have been higher than that if it was measured. \nJulian joined Barbican following its merger with Perception Youth to become Barbican Youth in the Four Nations Chess League (4NCL). \nHis favourite openings with white were : The Richter-Veresov Opening in later years and the English/Barcza Opening in earlier times. \nWith Black he enjoyed the Czech System and the Lenningrad Dutch. \nHis son\, Tom\, is a strong player and a successful barrister with expertise in Intellectual Property Rights\, Trademarks and Copyright law. \nHis wife (married in 1992)\, Baroness Hale of Richmond\, served as President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom from 2017 to 2020\, and serves as a member of the House of Lords as a Lord Temporal. \nJulian Farrand with Lady Hale at a Buckingham Palace reception. Photo : Press Association\nMemorial messages have been posted on the English Chess Forum and many will\, no doubt\, follow. Included are older games from John Saunders not found in the online databases. \nIn 2015 Julian (together with fellow trustees Keith Richardson and Ray Edwards) received the ECF President’s Award for services to the Permanent Invested Fund. \nHere is the citation from the 2015 award : \n“Julian is best known as the first-ever English ombudsman (in insurance). He is the husband of law lord Baroness Hale. I (SR) first met him at about the age of 12 year old when playing for my school. He is about four years older. Both Ray and Julian are members of the Book of the Year Committee and have been reviewing books for this purpose for many years. Both are quite strong chess players\, indeed playing for England in the same team in the European 60+ Team Championship in Vienna 11-20 July 2015. Keith was to have been a member of the same team\, but his wife’s ill-health forced him to withdraw.” \nHere is an obituary from The Times of London \n\n\n \n\n\n    \n        \n            You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess game visualization.        \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n \n\nHere is an obituary from Stewart Reuben \nProf. Julian T Farrand at the King’s Place Rapidplay\, 2013\, courtesy of John Upham Photography\nLove All Risks by Julian Farrand\n Save as PDF

SUMMARY:Birthday of John Rice (19-vii-1937)
DESCRIPTION:BCN sends best wishes to John Michael Rice on his birthday\, July 19th in 1937. \nJohn was born in Scarborough\, Yorkshire\, North Riding\, his mother’s maiden name was Blake. John lives in Surbiton\, Surrey and teaches Modern Languages at Tiffin School\, Kingston-Upon-Thames. \nAn ABC of Chess Problems\nFrom An ABC of Chess Problems : \n“The author is one of the country’s most prolific foremost composers and problem critics. He has gained mainly tourney honours\, both at home and abroad\, and since 1961 has been editor of a flourishing problem section in the British Chess Magazine\, the country’s leading chess periodical. He lives in London and teaches Modern Languages at Tiffin School\, Kingston-Upon-Thames.” \nFrom chesscomposers.blogspot.com : \nJohn Rice was the chief editor of the problems section of the “British Chess Magazine” from 1961 until 1974 and is a faithful collaborator of “The Problemist“. He has written “Chess Problem: Introduction to an Art” (1963) together with Robin Matthews and Michael Lipton and “The Two-Move Chess Problem” (1966)\, “Serieshelpmates” (1978) with Anthony Dickins or “Chess Wizardry: The New ABC of Chess Problems” (1996). \nTranslated from https://peoplepill.com/people/john-michael-rice/ : \n“Since the mid-fifties he has composed problems of all kinds\, but above all in two moves. In the 1960s he was editor of the problems section of the British Chess Magazine. Since 1999 he has been editor of The Problemist magazine. \nInternational Master of Composition since 1969 and International Judge for Composition since 1972. \nPresident of the PCCC (Permanent Commission for Chess Composition) from 2002 to 2006. \nHe worked as a teacher of modern languages ​​in a school in Kingston-upon-Thames. \nWinton Capital British Chess Problem Solving Championships 2016\nTogether with Barry Barnes and Michael Lipton he wrote the book Chess Problems: Introduction to an Art (Faber & Faber\, London 1963). \nChess Problems : Introduction to an Art\nHe composes mostly direct mates\, but can composes as well in other genres\, including fairies. He is an International Judge for twomovers\, helpmates and fairy problems and the former President of the PCCC from 2004 until 2006. \nJohn was awarded the title of “International Grandmaster for chess compositions” in 2015. \nFrom British Chess\, Pergamon Press\, 1983 by GS Botterill\, DNL Levy\, JM Rice and MJ Richardson : \n“I was taught the moves of chess in 1947 at the age of ten and quickly realised that I liked the game no more than Ludo or Snakes and Ladders where the chances of losing seemed to me unfairly high. But the chess pieces and their moves fascinated me\, so it is hardly surprising that before long I had turned to problems and become an ardent fan of Brian Harley in his Observer column\, especially as I had come across and paid two shillings (!) for his Mate in Two Moves in a second-hand bookshop in Reigate. Harley\, together with T. R. Dawson in the British Chess Magazine and C. S. Kipping in CHESS\, provided the sources of my first solving pleasure and the inspiration for my first efforts at composition. Among my early successes was problem l\, heavily constructed but strategically rich\, a first prizewinner in a tournament for composers under 21\, one of a series organised by the British Chess Problem Society. \n1 \n1st Prize\, BCPS Under-21 Tournament\, 1955 \n\n\n \n\n\n    \n        \n            You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization.        \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n \n\nWhite mates in 2. \n1 Bd6 (threat Qg4)\n1…Nxd6+;2.Qf3\n1…Nh6+;2.Qf3\n1…Nxh4+;2.Nf4\n1…g4;2.Rh6\n1…gxh4;2.Qxh4 \nI had grown up in Scarborough (Yorkshire)\, out of contact with other problem enthusiasts\, and a chance meeting in December\, 1954 with Michael Lipton in Cambridge\, where we were both taking Scholarship examinations\, brought the realisation that there was far more to the two-move chess problem than the solidly entrenched traditionalism espoused in those days by the columns of The Problemist and CHESS. Very soon the bulk of my output was in the modern style (with set and try-play) and published abroad\, notably in Die Schwalbe\, whose two-move editor\, Hermann Albrecht\, did much to stimulate my interest. Problem 2 gained a coveted prize in an extremely strong formal tournament judged by Michael\nLipton\, following an article of his on the potentialities of the half-battery theme (illustrated here by the arrangement on the c-file). \n2 \n5th prize\, 133rd Theme Tournament\, Die Schwalbe\, 1961. \n\n\n \n\n\n    \n        \n            You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization.        \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n \n\nWhite mates in 2 \n1.N2~?

Bxc5!\n1.Ne2! d~!\n1.Ne4!! \nThe half-battery is only one of several themes which have commanded my attention over the past 20 years\, others being white self-pin in try and key (illustrated by problem 3)\, Grimshaw and Nowotny (problem 4)\, reciprocal and cyclic play (problem V\, the first published example of cyclic mates in three phases)\, pawn-promotion effects\, and tasks of various types\, especially open gates. My total problem output numbers about 600. \n3 \nThe Tablet\, Commended\, BCPS Ring Tournament 1958; Brian Harley Award \n\n\n \n\n\n    \n        \n            You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization.        \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n \n\nWhite mates in 2 \n1.Rxf4?

Sedgwick the editorship of the problem section of the British Chess Magazine\, which post I held until December\, 1974. It was a source of pride to me that I was now doing the job once done by the great T. R Dawson\, though I knew that I could never bring to it the same tireless energy and all-round expertise which he had displayed so impressively. At about the same time I embarked with Michael Lipton and Robin Matthews on a venture which was to have repercussions throughout the entire problem world\,\nnamely a series of books on problems published by Faber and Faber. The first\, Chess Problems: Introduction to an Art (Lipton\, Matthews and Rice)\, appeared in 1963\, and was followed three years later by The Two-move Chess Problem: Tradition and Development\, also with Michael Lipton\, but this time the third collaborator was Barry Barnes\, who has long been a close friend and influence. The third book in the series\, An ABC of Chess Problems (1970)\, was a solo effort. \n4 \n4th prize\, BCF Tournament 123\, 1970 \n\n\n \n\n\n    \n        \n            You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization.        \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n \n\nWhite mates in 2 \n1.N5b6?\, Rxb6/Bxb6/Qd3/Qd6;\n2.Qc5/Ne5/Nc5/Qd1 … Qg5! \n1…Qg5! \n1.N7b6!\, Rxb6/Bxb6/Qd3/Qd6/Qxc7;\n2.Bc5/Nf4/Nc3/Bc3/Nxc7 \nMy interest in Fairy Chess dates from a meeting in the mid-1960s with the late John Driver\, whose enthusiasm for the pleasures to be derived from non-orthodox forms I found highly infectious. Fairy problems soon began to appear in the BCM column and were favourably received. The serieshelpmate\, where White remains stationary while Black plays a sequence of moves to reach a position where White can mate in one\, has perhaps interested me more than any other non-orthodox form (see problem Vl)\, and in 1971 I collaborated with Anthony Dickins to produce a book on the subject\, The Serieshelpmate (published by the Q Press\, first edition 1971\, second edition 1978). \n5 \n1st Prize\, Problem  37th Theme Tournament\, 1961-62 \n\n\n \n\n\n    \n        \n            You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization.        \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n \n\nWhite mates in 2 \nSet: 1…Kc6; 2.

SUMMARY:Birthday of GM Julian Hodgson (25-vii-1963)
DESCRIPTION:We send best wishes to GM Julian Hodgson on his birthday\, this day July 25th in 1963. \nJulian Michael Hodgson was born in Hammersmith\, West London son of (Ronald) George Hodgson and Johanna Hodgson (née Birch). \nJulian has claimed to be a descendent of George Jeffreys\, 1st Baron Jeffreys and we are looking to establish this claim following further research. \nJulian attended St. Paul’s School (See below) and then attended The University of Leicester for one year. \nJulian married Lizette and David Norwood was his Best Man. \nJulian and Lizette Hodgson\n(Curiously both Felice and Gaige state Julian was born in Saint Asaph in Wales.) \nJulian Hodgson\nHarry Golombek wrote this about Julian in a 1980 Dataday chess diary : \n“I think that the first time I saw Julian Hodgson in play was some four years ago in a London tournament. Upon my arrival Leonard Barden told him that he must now be careful how he played as Golombek was watching. \nJulian and Nigel Short play Korchnoi in a simul. Leonard Barden observes.\n“Who”\, enquired the twelve-year old Julian\, “is Golombek?” \nNeil Carr and Julian Hodgson at the 1976 Lloyds Bank Match by Telex\, London – New York. From BCM\, volume XCVI (96) Number 11 (August)\, Page 494. The venue was the Bloomsbury Hotel\, London. Photo courtesy of Lloyds Bank.\nI felt grateful at the time that he did not say who or what is Golombek but I tell this story chiefly to show the cheerful insouciance with which Master Hodgson treated all comers whether chess masters or chess rabbits. \nJulian playing Simon L Triggs. Event and photographer unknown\nJulian astonishing maturity as a player has been impressive ever since at the age of ten\, he won the Southern Counties Under 14 Championships in 1973. Since then he has acquired a host of such championships culminating in the British Under-21 Championship in 1977. \nStreatham & Brixton becoming BCF National Club Champions in 1989. The team was Tony Kosten\, Mark Hedben\, Daniel King\, Nigel Povah (Captain)\, Joe Gallagher and Julian Hodgson : quite a strong team\nPerhaps his most remarkable performance so far has been his equal 3rd in a strong challengers section at Hastings where he scored 7.5 out of 10. 1977 was a good year for him and here\, from the Lloyds Bank Silver Jubilee Tournament of that year is his fine win over a strong opponent : \n\n\n \n\n\n    \n        \n            You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess game visualization.        \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n \n\nHere is his entry (written by Richard W O’Brien) in British Chess (Pergamon Press\, 1983\, Botterill\, Levy\, Rice and Richardson) : \n“Following a series of excellent results Julian\, at the tender age of 11\, became the second youngest ever to play in an international tournament when he took part in the London Chess Club International Invitation tournament in September 1974. Only Reshevsky had been younger. Julian’s first opponent was Michael Woodhams\, an Australian international who had just scored 15.5/18 in the recent Olympiad (Nice) \nThe following year he became the youngest player ever to win the London Amateur Championship. A year later he reached a grading of 200 (BCF)\, only Reshevsky\, Pomar\, Karpov and Kasparov had done so at an earlier age. \nBy now he was at St. Paul’s School\, which was in the process of becoming one of the strongest chess playing schools in the country. In 1977 he shared first place with WN Watson (also St. Paul’s) in the British U21 Championship. Progress was however not as fast as had at one time been anticipated \n\nIt was at Ramsgate\, late in 1980 before his first IM norm. A month later he finished second in the Hastings Challenger. Other good results followed in 1981. First he was selected for the Glorney Cup and shortly afterwards did well to come fourteenth in the British Championship (Morecambe). He represented England in the World Youth Team championships scoring 4/6. His second IM norm followed when he shared fifth place at Manchester in the same year. Good results in weekend congresses meant that he finished fourth in the Leigh Grand Prix. The year had finished with Julian needing a draw in the last round at Ramsgate to get his title. He lost and was to wait another 12 months to achieve his final norm. \nThe England Team from the 1990 Novi Sad Olympiad : John Nunn\, Jon Speelman\, Julian Hodgson\, David Anderton OBE (Captain)\, Nigel Short\, Michael Adams and Murray Chandler\nWhen the final norm came it arrived out of the blue. With a score of 2.5/5 at Lewisham in November 1982 the chances seemed remote\, 3.5/4 was required against a strong field and it even seemed doubtful whether he could actually play those he needed to play. He scored 2.5/3 and now had to play Jon Tisdall\, who still had a chance of winning the tournament. \nJulian finished second equal in the tournament behind Jim Plaskett who had beaten him earlier. \nJulian Hodgson\nThe next six weeks saw Julian come equal first in the Pergamon sponsored British Lightning championship\, a highly creditable sixth in the Nightflight International at Brighton (equivalent to an IM rating) and second place yet again in the Hastings Challengers. \nJohn Delaney plays Julian Hodgson at the Bath Zonal Tournament in 1987\nEarlier in 1983 he scored 6.5/9 at Lugano\, probably Europe’s strongest ever Swiss (Swiss !) tournament\, losing narrowly to Jan Timman. \nJulian Hodgson. Event and photographer unknown.\nHe left Leicester University after just one year preferring to concentrate on chess. \nFM Andrew Whiteley\, IM Julian Hodgson and FM Byron Jacobs at Cappelle Le Grand\, 1988.

Daniel King is another junior who also played frequently for Streatham. ” \n\n\n \n\n\n    \n        \n            You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess game visualization.        \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n \n\n\nThis is what was written about Julian prior to the 1979 Spassky vs the BCF Junior Squad simultaneous display : “St Paul’s and Shepherds Bush. Rating 210. Standard London Amateur Champion at age 12\, 1975. \nStandard London under-18 champion\, 1976. British under-21 co-champion\, 1977. Youngest ever to beat two grandmasters in successive games\, 1978.” \nJulian Hodgson drawn by Rupert van der Linden\nJulian was Southern Counties (SCCU) champion in the 1997-98 season. \nJulian has claimed that he is a descended from the (in)famous “hanging judge” Jeffries ! \n\nJulian is the in-house chess teacher at Westminster School. \nHere is his Wikipedia entry : \nGM Julian Hodgson\nAside from more formal achievements\, he developed a sharp\, relentless\, attacking style of play and against lesser opponents this frequently resulted in devastating quick wins\, earning him the epithet “Grandmaster of Disaster”. \nHans Ree plays Julian Hodgson at the Cannes Team Tournament\, 1992\nHodgson’s greatest legacy as a chess player may however lie in his resurrection of an almost forgotten opening system. The Trompowsky Attack (1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5) had floundered in the doldrums for many years\, prior to his adoption and development of the opening. In interviews\, he reveals that this was born out of laziness and a reluctance to learn established chess opening theory. It soon became his weapon of choice with the white pieces\, leading to a surprising popularisation of the system\, the spawning of a whole generation of devotees and ironically\, a number of theoretical guides\, containing a high quota of Hodgson’s own games and analysis. Indeed\, his expert treatment of the system once prompted fellow grandmaster Joe Gallagher to write that it should be renamed the Hodgson–Trompowsky Attack\, a view shared by many other masters. A chess journalist once wrote that Hodgson put the ‘romp’ into Trompowsky. \nA related\, but more obscure version of the system (1.d4 d5 2.Bg5)\, has been dubbed by some the Hodgson Attack and by others the Pseudo-Trompowsky or Queen’s Bishop Attack. \n\n\n \n\n\n    \n        \n            You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization.        \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n \n\nand \n\n\n \n\n\n    \n        \n            You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization.        \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n \n\nJulian\, Dominic Lawson and Matthew Sadler\nChess Traveller’s Quiz Book\, Julian Hodgson\, Cadogan Press\, 1996\, ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1857440300\nAttack with Julian Hodgson\, Book No.1\nAttack with Julian Hodgson\, Book No.2\nQuick Chess Knockouts\nJulian Hodgson drawn by Rupert van der Linden\n Save as PDF
