Paul attended Glenburn Comprehensive School in Skelmersdale from 1967 and then read Natural Sciences at Christ’s College, Cambridge from 1974. Paul playedbadminton for Lancashire and Cambridge and, in 1971, won the English Schools Mixed Championship when he was 15 years old. Paul and family receive a chess lesson from John following John’s win in the 1972 Southport Open On leaving University Paul taught science at Southbrook Comprehensive, Daventry. Four years later Paul became a dealerat Phillips & Drew and followed this as an Executive Director at Goldman Sachs. Stays at Lehman Brothers and JP Morgan were followed by a change of direction and since then Paul has been director of various food supply companies retiring in 2014. Paul is married (3rd November 2006) to (his second wife) Fiona and lives in St. Albans,Hertfordshire. PEL won the ECF President’s Award in 2007 and from the 2008 ECF Yearbook we have the following citation : “International Master and accomplished bridge player. From British Chess champion (1981) Paul has presided over the 4NCL as chairman during its most successful period. When he became chairman over ten years ago theleague consisted of two divisions and 32 teams. The league has now expanded to four divisions and a total of 72 teams. Most of England’s juniors play 4NCL. During this time 4NCL became one of the strongest leagues in Europe, at one time boasting a Division 1 rivalling the Bundesliga in strength in the top matches. Paul has demonstrated the soundjudgement of Solomon when dealing with league disputes and has drawn on his business acumen, honed during a successful career in the City with Goldman Sachs to make 4NCL the financially stable and expanding league it is today.” Roll of Honour British U18 Champion 1972 British U21 Champion 1975 British Champion 1981 As a juniorrepresented England in Glorney Cup International Master 1980 From British Chess (Pergamon Press, 1983) by Botterill, Levy. Rice and Richardson we have this article from Richard W. O’Brien : “Paul Littlewood was destined to become a strong player from birth. His father John was for some time one of the strongest players in the country andrepresented England on many occasions. His uncle Norman was for a few years not far behind. Paul, however, has surpassed them both and has become the first in the family to reach IM status. (Ed: JEL was very much worthy of the IM title but insufficient events of the right type held him back). A. Howard Williams, Martyn J. Corden, Paul E.Littlewood and A. Jonathan Mestel All three are essentially attacking players. There have been times in recent years when play at the Hastings Premier has become dull. However, Paul one of the English representatives at the last three tournaments, was certainly not to blame. (His game against Brito of Brazil which follows is a striking example ofthis).” Coached by his father, Paul became British U18 champion in 1972 and three years later became British U21 champion. Clearly more interested in an academic career he went up to Cambridge and then followed his father into the teaching profession. Opportunities to play in strong tournaments were thus very limited. These opportunities,however, were grasped in both hands. Three times in thirteen months between August 1978 and August 1979 he obtained an IM norm and thus the title. Partial crosstable for the Lloyds Bank Open, 1978 The first caused a sensation as it was totally unexpected. He shared first place at Lloyds Bank ahead of several grandmasters including Shamkovich,who was the first grandmaster he ever defeated. Leonid Shamkovich plays Paul Littlewood during the 1978 Lloyds Bank Masters. Paul won the game. Eight months later Aaronson Masters was won and then came the final norm, also at Lloyds Bank. Tournaments abroad were limited although he represented England students. He did play at Kringsja(2nd equal) in 1978 and Borovo where he scored 6.5.13 finishing ahead of 3 GMs. In 1981 came his finest achievement – winning the British Championship with a massive 9/11. Partial crosstable from the 1981 British Championship in Morecambe His father who was also competing in the championship was as proud as could be and deservedly so (healso coached Sheila Jackson who retained her British Ladies Championship that year). His excellent all round play took him to the title and only once during the tournament did he stand worse. His endgame play was so good that CHESS even published an article solely on these endings. Paul Littlewood and friends during the 1978 Lloyds BankMasters Duties at school in Daventry meant he was, in February 1982, unable to take part in the zonal at Marbella. This followed an excellent Hastings when as British Champion he made a plus score – a rare event indeed. IM Paul Littlewood during filming for the “Trick of the Mind” series from Derren Brown In the summer he gave up teaching andjoined Phillips & Drew (stockbrokers). He now (ed : this was in 1983) lives with his (first) wife Sue and family in the wilds of Essex (Billericay).

Top reviews Most recent Top reviews Forums General Discussion Recently, I've seenmore and more people speak out about certain tactical books being too hard. This includes material that I would otherwise consider roughly beginner/intermediate level. There thus seems to be a disconnect between what the target audience wants and what the author is giving.So I'm curious, and this is mainly directed at the beginner andintermediates out there. What makes a good tactics book? What do the best ones do well? And conversely, what do you not like about the books? What have they done wrong? If you could design the perfect beginner/intermediate tactics book, what would it look like? I'm particularly interested in things like:- level of text instruction: lots, little, don'tcare? are hints helpful (get you thinking in the right way) or harmful (start cheating and getting bad habits)- organization by theme (eg, 50 forks in a row) vs random positions- difficulty level: this is subjective, but how hard should you have to work? [Or, more concretely, was the Tactical section in my Opening Fundamentals course too easy, too hard,a good mix?]- how long do you expect to spend on a problem? Do you expect to see the solution in 2s, 20s, 2min?- for the more advanced out there, what helped get you to that level? Does anything stick out?- anything else you think is important for a goods tactics bookGetting a sense of these sorts of questions could really a) offer better suggestions todifferent people depending on their preferences, and b) help maybe create future tactics courses (hint hint).
