Jun-30-04  seoulmama: If possible, you people should also check out Gallagher-Conquest, British ch. -88. A great counterattacking game.
Aug-08-04  RonB52734: An important question: why wasn't I born with this name?
Aug-08-04  HailM0rphy: Why wasn't I born with Achilles Frydman? How could my mom name me anything BUT Achilles? Like I am not worthy of a such a name.. I am insulted..

*note* we shoudn't be complaining... Gisela Fischdick

Nov-10-04  yoozum: my god, this has got to be the best chess name besides beer and ale.
Nov-10-04  Phoenix: And the guy isn't that bad at chess, either! Very sharp tactical player. He'll play almost any opening if it's got some bite to it.

  Benzol: He bears more than a passing resemblence to American actor Jack Nicholson.
Nov-22-04  Spassky69: Isn't the name Stu the best name ever? Or Stewie, Stupac, or just Stu. Man that's such a bad*&* name.

Born 1st March 1967 in Ilford
He was World under-16 champion in 1981 and was awarded the IM title in 1985.
Jan-12-05  rclb: My best result ever was a draw against this chap when I was 15. OK I admit it was a simul.

  Benzol: <rclb> Even in a simul that's still a good result. Was Conquest a GM at that stage?
Jan-12-05  MoonlitKnight: As I have understood, Stuart Conquest is a key player in the organization of the Gibraltar Open, coming up soon.

Feb-22-06  Whitehat1963: What a great chessplayer name, or sports name in general.
May-08-06  dakgootje: conquest of paradise?
May-08-06  PhilFeeley: Nice play by Stuart. White's pieces end up all on the queen side and leaves his king open to attack, which comes quickly.
