n.b. some 1981/82 BCF grades included in brackets - convert to Elo, thus - times 8, add 600

Fedorowicz scored a GM norm (his final one according to Povah – see below), Mark Hebden his third IM norm and D. J. King his second [IM norm]. K. Berg (DEN), J. J. Cox, D. Friedgood all got their third FM norms, and G. D. Lee, D. Cummings and A. C. Kosten their second and G. Kenworthy his first [FM norm]. Hanneke van Parreren (NLD) gained her 2nd WFM norm.

Nigel Povah wrote a report published in BCM, February 1982, p67, in which he claimed that the 1981 Regency Masters was the first UK Swiss event in which a GM title was achieved.

Date	Notes
7 September 2020	First uploaded to BritBase. 46 games from (roughly) 250 games played. Sourced from Big Database (19 games) with another 16 or so from StarBase 4.56 and the rest from magazines, etc. Unfortunately there are no round numbers or dates for quite a lot of the available games, and the BCF Yearbook doesn't provide a crosstable.
5 September 2021	Now a complete 249 games from the bulletin (though one game, Woodcraft-Josephs, rd 1, has no moves). Nigel Povah kindly supplied me with the bulletin for which many thanks. A comparison with the 46 games sourced from ChessBase and StarBase showed that the games originally posted here last year were riddled with errors (not of my making, I hasten to add), so please delete them from your databases and replace them with what has now been posted here.
