The eight-time British champion, 51, and the eminent author, 68, edged to tiebreak victories with strong final-round performances at the world over-50 and over-65 championships
Michael Adams and John Nunn scored a golden double for England at the world senior championships for over-50s and over-65s, which ended at Terrasini, Sicily, on Sunday. The pair were both top seeded, then saw their chances slip in the middle rounds before they launched decisive finishing spurts to capture their world titles. First prize in each section was €3,000.
Both winners have a strong connection with Cornwall – Nunn currently resides in Bude, while Adams was raised in Truro.
