Brighton Chess History

By the kind permission of Brian Denman, reproduced here is his book "Brighton Chess", a monumental work, which was published in 1994 and limited to 100 copies. Each page of the book has been scanned and converted to a jpeg file. Brian points out that it needs to be brought up to date. Any volunteers?
