The 7th Howard Staunton Memorial took place 7th (opening ceremony) - 17th August 2009. This year saw a UK vs The Netherlands double round Scheveningen match and an interesting Category IX all-play-all. The UK had a small Elo rating advantage in the Scheveningen match but the teams were well matched almost all the way through, until the UK found a decisive advantage with a 4-1 win in round 9. The tournament took place in its usual venue - Simpson's In The Strand. Nigel Short's 8/10 will take him back over 2700 and allow him to take back the England number one spot from Michael Adams for the first time in many years.
