Peter Green Memorial Split Pawn Award

Life — September 2023

Does anyone who played chess in New South Wales in the early 1980s remember what the Peter Green Memorial Split Pawn Award was? Won by Peter Green, R.Colman, Marcus Pesman, Charles Zworestine, S.Twigg, Tim Reilly and yours truly. I vaguely recall it was for the worst performance in a tournament, or possibly a particularly bad game?

  1. Danny!
    Long time etc.
    As it happens I do (indeed, I made the “trophy”). It was for worst performance relative to expected performance.
    Cheers
    Marcus
