Re: Times cryptic chess clue
Yesterday’s Times Jumbo had “Drink with knight in damaged chair, perhaps (11)” which needs N for knight to be solved.

Re: Times cryptic chess clue
I agree that was a tough one, I also had the H, from the first clue I solved.

Re: Chess history trivia
The U-11 from 1975 is interesting -I recognize about 10 names from that, but not the winner. (Apologies if I should remember...) I remember that one for a number of reasons. First, my brother (JA) drew with Nigel Short in an early round - I have the game score somewhere. Second, the Kings, Andrews ...

Re: ECF AGM 17/10/20
Conflicts should be resolved, not avoided. There are quite a few on the board already, another minor one shouldn't make any difference and i would imagine both are sensible enough to manage those conflicts.

My game (248) was Hayes (Kent) v Charlton in the Kent League. It was January and Murray was in bare feet!

Re: Wolfgang Uhlmann (1935-2020)
I played Shamkovich in a Lloyds Bank many years ago, black side of a French Tarrasch f4 line and I played ..f6 and ..g5. After I lost he told me I played the opening like Uhlmann, which made me very happy. RIP

Re: Remembering FM Max Fuller (28-i-1945 27-viii-2013)
I remember playing darts with Max after a match at Catford Cricket Club. His technique resembled throwing a javelin, without a run-up, and he was useless.
Nice guy though.

Re: John Naylor 1972-2020
This is so sad. John played at Hayes in Kent for many years and was part of the team which won the National Plate in the days when it was a tough competition.

Re: Gap between games by two players
John, I wrote mine after seeing Ian’s offering, as I think he was there in 1980! Didn’t see yours until later, but thanks for reminding me that I’m not a GM. Probably never will be.
