Matthew - yes, played by great friend Otto.

Chess problems the hymn tunes of Mathematics from 'A Mathematician's Apology' (1940) appears om pp 222-3 of 'King, Queen and Knight' (Batsford 1975).

No answers? Then maybe that's a response all on its own ?!

L@@king at the list of entrants for Torquay, I spotted - horror - one GM out of the near fifty that might have registered. Surely they can do better than this?

I think Dominic Lawson's chess column in Standpoint magazine disappeared some months ago. He had plenty of space and I enjoyed what he wrote. Can't we ask why/where/how our President's scribblings got snaffled-? Shouldn't we all write in and complain?

I think there's a game of Frank Hatto's with a mate like this, Geoff. BH Wood quoted it.

The finale, which is pretty sweet, is given in 'Queen Sacrifice' by Neishtadt.

But I'd like all the moves.

Cheers

Still listed as qualifiers for Torquay 2019:
two ladies no longer with us, Margaret Clarke and Joan Doulton. (So is Bryon Jacobs for that matter)

I have the programme of Chester 1979 and am happy to give it to John if he contacts me chessparrot@hotmail.com with contact details. I may also have an entry form which might appeal. The tie-split has a legacy: Nunn's dislike of the British Championship which he won at last in 1980 never to return. ...

Gillian Moore tied 1st= with Peggy Clarke in the British Ladies in 1966. I saw the latest ECF Yearbook says Dinah on p.33, but it was Gill! 1966 U14 Robert Cecil Bellin (you'll read RS Bellin but not according to Gaige) 1988 U15 Oliver R Worsfold 2000 U21 Nicholas G Pert 2002 U13 Peter T Roberson El...

Thanks Matt. It was late.
