I don't know who Kevin's friend is, but I do know that a genuine international-level expert on copyright was active in Midlands chess until his retirement as a Professor of Information Studies a few years ago
"Do you play chess?"
"Yes, but I prefer a game with a better chance of cheating."

See Edward Winter's comments in https://www.chesshistory.com/winter/win ... ml#CN_7743.

In the present discussion about pictures, remarks are being made just on a vague claim by John Upham ("Can't remember what it was", he writes himself). Until he can provide chapter and verse on what Edward Winter allegedly told him, let's return to the main topic and appreciate Mr Winter's detailed notes on the Blackburne "Goniff" matter in https://www.chesshistory.com/winter/win ... ml#CN_6513.
