National Success
Adams' early endeavors were already beginning to pay dividends at the British Championship of 1987, where he gained his final IM norm and took the best junior prize. He proceeded to win the full Championship title in 1989, at just seventeen years of age. Making only rare appearances, he won again in 1997, jointly with Matthew Sadler. After a lengthy break, he claimed further titles in 2010, at Canterbury and in 2011 at Sheffield.
Adams also won the British Rapidplay Championship in 1995, 1996 and 1999.
