Following Wood Green’s
retreat from the
forefront of the 4NCL,
Guildford’s strongest
challenger looked likely

Jonathan Hawkins.
Indeed, our meeting in
February 2015 proved to

ended as a narrow

it could have been a
catastrophic defeat as
we had substantially
worse positions on
several boards.

Taking over management
from Nigel in November
2011, Roger brought in a
number of new players,
including grandmaster
Romain Edouard (about
whom more later), and
several overseas titled
players now living in or
with close ties to
England, including GM
David Smerdon, IM
Gediminas Sarakauskas,
his wife Zivile and her
sister IM Dagne Ciuksyte,
who is now a mainstay of
the England Women’s
team.

In this series of
articles we will cover

century. In many ways
this growth has mirrored
the expansion of the
4NCL itself into a
large, successful and
well managed
organisation.
