Blackpool Chess Conference 9-11 March 2001 - Teresa Khoo wins Sharon Furlong Trophy!
Organiser Dave Clayton, who very kindly supplied this year's results, reports
that this was the most successful Blackpool event he has been involved with - a
record 476 competitors, with a splendid atmosphere and no disputes! We have
always recommended this congress because, of all weekend events, it has the best
provision for females, with a £50 lady's prize in EVERY section, and the
splendid Sharon Furlong Trophy plus £100 for the best score by a female, in
whatever section. The Trophy holder even gets a small copy to keep
forever.
This year's Sharon Furlong was won by Teresa Khoo [Surrey]. Right
back on her best form, Teresa was placed joint first in the Major section with
4½/5. This was the third time a Surrey girl has won the Sharon Furlong, (Alex
Kelly won it in 1998 and Anna Partington did so last year).
