'''Jonathan Simon Speelman''' (born 2 October 1956) is an [[England|English]] [[chess]] player, a [[Grandmaster (chess)|Grandmaster]], a mathematician, and a chess writer. 

He was educated at [[Worcester College, Oxford]]. He studied [[mathematics]] at university, earning his Doctorate.

Winner of the [[British Chess Championship]] in 1978, 1985, and 1986, Speelman has been a regular member of the English [[Chess Olympiad]] team. 

Speelman qualified for two [[Candidates' Tournament]]s. In the 1989-1990 cycle, he qualified by placing third in the 1987 [[Subotica]] [[Interzonal]] tournament. After beating [[Yasser Seirawan]] in his first round 4-1, and [[Nigel Short]] in the second round 3.5-1.5, he lost to [[Jan Timman]] at the semi-final stage 4.5-3.5. In the following championship cycle (1990-93) he lost in the first round to Short, the eventual challenger for [[Garry Kasparov]]'s crown, 5.5-4.5.

Speelman's highest ranking in the [[FIDE]] [[Elo rating]] list was equal fourth in the world, in January 1989.<ref>[http://chess.eusa.ed.ac.uk/Chess/Trivia/AlltimeList.html All Time Rankings]</ref>

In 1989 Speelman beat Kasparov in a televised speed tournament, and then went on to win the event. 

Speelman is noted for his imaginative style, often choosing unobvious ways to carry on his games.

In the April 2007 [[Fédération Internationale des Échecs|FIDE]] list Speelman had an [[Elo rating]] of 2518, making him England's 12th-highest rated active player.

He is also known as "Spess," short for "specimen," one of the many misspellings of his name in the press over the years.

Married to Lyndsey Thomas, they have a son, Lawrence, born in January 1994.

== Books ==

He has written a number of books on chess, including several on the [[Chess endgame|endgame]], among them ''Analysing the Endgame'' (Batsford, 1981), ''Endgame Preparation'' (Batsford, 1981) and ''Batsford Chess Endings'' (Batsford, 1993, co-author with [[Jon Tisdall]] and [[Robert Wade (chess player)|Robert Wade]]). 

Among his other books are the critically acclaimed ''Jon Speelman's Best Games'' ([[Batsford (publisher)|Batsford]], 1997), and ''Best Games 1970-1980'', a thesis-like analysis of nearly 50 of the best games by top players from that decade.
