Re: Peter Markland.
Peter was a very fine player.
CHOD Alexander gave an excellent account of his loss to Karpov at Hastings. It was a close game, well worth playing through.
I think Peter may have attributed his loss to playing the French. I'm more inclined to blame the loss on the strength of the opponent.
Still a great game though, as is Alexander's description (written before we knew what a great player Karpov was).

Re: Peter Markland.
This a quite from Karpov on Chessbase regarding his game v Peter
(the link to Chessbase no longer works, I got it from https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1067608)
"I can remember the New Year that I celebrated the least. I spent the entire night from 1971 to 1972 playing chess.
It was the traditional English tournament in Hastings. I was playing the last game. I had to win.
Four roudns before the end I was 2.5 points ahead of Kortchnoi, but then I lost a game, followed by two draws and Kortchnoi began to win.
To finish first, I had to beat the British player Markland, who was not even a grandmaster.
The game was set for 11 PM, which meant well after midnight Moscow time.
I went to the hotel and sat down to prepare myself. Two hours later I went there and by five in the morning Moscow time I had won."
I'm pretty sure Peter's book on Karpov was the first algebraic book I bought from a U.K. publisher.
A. Karpov - P. Markland, Hastings, round 15, Jan-15 1972

Re: Peter Markland.
Classic Anatoly, making the most of what appeared to be a very small edge.
