To honour the memory of David Saqui an anonymous donor has given us a handsome silver cup to be named the David Saqui Cup. He has asked us to use it as an annual best game prize for ECF members attached to Cornish clubs, highlighting imaginative, attacking chess of the kind that David favoured. Bob Jones of Devon, who will be well known to many of you for his Western Morning News column and tireless promotion of chess in the west country over the years, has agreed to act as judge.

The first award of the cup will be for games played during the period 1st January to 31st December, 2018. The competition will be conducted as follows:

• Players may enter up to two games. Annotations are welcome but not compulsory.
• Entries to be emailed to me at 3a.roskear@gmail.com
• ChessBase readable file attachments are preferred but if you do not have access to this format, please send your submission with the moves and any notes typed. I will then convert it before sending it to Bob.
• The closing date for entries is 30th April, 2019.
• The maximum number of games sent to Bob will be 10. If there are more than 10 entries I will make a preliminary selection of the games to be sent to him.
• If the number of entries falls below 10 the committee may make up the number by adding games which it considers worthy of consideration.
• Before sending the games to Bob I will remove all player identification.
• When Bob has made his decision, the winning game will be published on our website and in his Western Morning News column. The other candidate games will also be made available on our website.
• It is intended to present the cup at the Annual General Meeting after the end of the 2018/19 season.
