Grandmaster Murray Chandler finished second in the World Cadet Championship in 1976, ahead of Garry
Kasparov, whom he defeated in their individual game. He remains to this
day one of the few players in the world with a 100% score against
Kasparov. He was a key member of the England team that won the silver
medals in Chess Olympiads three times during the 1980s, and went on to
captain the team in 1994. He is a former proprietor and Editor-in-Chief
of the British Chess Magazine and the author of several bestselling chess books.
