 | | offramp: A very unusual-looking character. A cross between Jackie Chan and Jackie Onassis. |
|
Aug-09-13
 | | offramp: A book of his complete games would probably have about 50,000 pages. |
|

 | | offramp: A very good result at the latest Hastings. |

Jan-10-14 | | RedShield: The Beeb is big on queer news. |

 | | offramp: Hebden played many other games of chess as well. If all of them were recorded, I imagine the world itself wouldn't have enough room for the books that would be written. |
|
Jan-10-14 | | RedShield: He looks a bit Oriental, doesn't he? Gives another meaning to the expression <had a Chinese>. |
|

 | | offramp: He looks like a cross between Jackie Chan and Jackie Onassis. |

Oct-08-14 | | waustad: There seem to be some games of his this tournament under the name Mark L. Hebdan. |

 | | GrahamClayton: Hebden must be one of the most active players in the UK - his name always seems to pop up at the many weekend tournaments/congresses that are held each year. At age 60, he doesn't seem to be slowing down! |

 | | offramp: Oddly, his name was in the British newspapers this very morn:
https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/new...
The link's suffix says it all.
I made an estimate of how many games he had played here:
Mark Hebden (kibitz #41). It's about a dozen posts up. However, using my own huge database, desribed in detail at
offramp chessforum (kibitz #769) and freely available to all, I can come up with a more accurate figure. According to that database, up until December 31st 2016 Mark HEBDEN has played 295,471 games of competitive chess. OWZAT!! |

Feb-15-19 | | Nosnibor: Happy birthday Mark. |
|
Apr-13-20 | | Dionysius1: There's a Mark Hebden who writes detective stories. Same guy? |
|

 | | MissScarlett: Find out and report back. |
|

 | | Sally Simpson: Not the same guy.
However here is Mark Hebden playing chess with Raymond Chandler (or is it Geoff Chandler...probably Geoff because he got beat.) https://web.archive.org/web/2010010... |

 | | Sally Simpson: Mark has just won the English Championship at 64! "Mark Hebden, one of England’s oldest active grandmasters, achieved his first national title in classical chess last weekend at age 64. The Leicester GM won the Chessable English Championship and its £2000 first prize with a round to spare and a 6/7 total. It is a result for the record books. Dr Stefan Fazekas at 59 in 1957 was the oldest British champion, Ireland’s John O’Hanlon won his ninth title in 1940 aged 63 or 64, Edith Price took the 1948 British women’s championship at 76, but the veteran of them all was the legendary Viktor Korchnoi, who won the 2011 Swiss crown at 80."

"Mark Hebden, one of England’s oldest active grandmasters, achieved his first national title in classical chess last weekend at age 64.> This is much better than what chess masters are usually doing when they're 64. |
|
Feb-15-23 | | Nosnibor: Happy 65th birthday Mark. You still have some more power to win further events! |
|
Feb-15-23 | | Nosnibor: The first two games in the database against Biyiasas are duplicated. |
