(4th Howard Staunton Memorial, August 14th-25th 2006)
The 3rd Howard Staunton Memorial was played on August 19th-30th 2005. GM Jonathan Levitt and GM Jonathan Speelman have tied for first place with 6 points. IM David Howell was leading most of the event but he failed to earn GM norm after he lost three games in the row. This teenager is only 14 years old and I`m sure his future will be bright.
This was 6 players, 10 rounds double round robin tournament.
Final Standings:
1-2.GM Jonathan Levitt (ENG 2441), GM Jonathan Speelman (ENG 2549) 6.0; 3.GM Colin McNab (SCO 2451) 5.5; 4-5.IM David Howell (ENG 2471), IM Lawrence Day (CAN 2270) 4.5; 6. IM Jovanka Houska (ENG 2342) 3.5
The following game was bad mark for young Howell.
