World Record for Roddy?

Here is a reply from Edward Winter's Chess Notes site at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/">http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/</a><!-- m -->

8144. National championship (C.N. 8141)

Michael McDowell (Westcliff-on-sea, England) comments that Howard Williams won the Welsh championship 43 years apart, in 1968 and 2011.

Confirming this to us, Howard Williams (Cardigan, Wales) writes:

‘It is, though, fair to point out that in both 1968 and 2011 I tied for first place with somebody else. (There were no arrangements to split ties on either occasion, and the title was simply held jointly.)’

From C.N. 8141 it will be recalled that Roddy McKay’s first Scottish championship title, in 1971, was also a joint victory.
