WGM Sheila Jackson
The organising committee for the 46th Guernsey International Chess Festival are pleased to announce that English WGM Sheila Jackson will be participating in this year’s event.
Sheila is a four-time winner of the British Women’s Chess Championship (1975, 1978, 1980, 1981), is also a double Olympiad Silver Medallist (individual Silver Lucerne 1982 & Team Haifa 1976), and on her Senior Team debut she was also a double Bronze Medallist in Dresden. Her best tournament result achieved was a 2429 rating performance in the 1984 British Championship.
Sheila has played in the Guernsey International Chess Festival on 12 previous occasions between 1976 and 1997 and we look forward to welcoming her to her 13th Festival in October.
That’s great news; it will be fantasic to get back to playing over the board.
