Dominic Cummings
From the latest New in Chess, a game played by a teenage Dominic Cummings. A member of Durham Chess Club recalled that 'his singular aggressiveness came across even then in both his chess and his general demeanour'.

Re: Malcolm Barker.
"I drew with Kevin" Not the most exciting game - I think I lost to Richard in the Thames Valley League many years later, but my database sadly just says R James and I have played at least 3 different "R James". Yes, in 1988. I, on the other hand, have only played one K Thurlow, though I have also p...

Re: Malcolm Barker.
It would have been Birmingham 1975 or 1976. I won't be in the results - was playing in the u-16's!! As sadly I no longer have my scorebooks from the time, say can't say for sure which it was. The 1976 U16 results (1st RM Webb, 2nd KC Arkell - I wonder what happened to him) are on Britbase - link ab...

Re: Malcolm Barker.
Can anyone work out which event Neil saw Mato Damjanovic playing in? Birmingham International 1975 , 1976 or 1977, I presume. Britbase only has a separate page for the 1976 event. I don't see Neil's name among the participants, so perhaps it was 1975 (1st Matulovic: Damjanoic shared 5th place with ...

Re: Malcolm Barker.
Justin and David are both correct: I've never played either of them.
I drew with Kevin and won (undeservedly, from a lost position) against Nick.

Re: Malcolm Barker.
I've just noticed that two of the last four posters here were among my five opponents in the New Malden 1975 tournament. 44 years on and we're all still here. I guess this says a lot for the power of chess.
