Paul Bielby (two games posted just above) is still going strong too - he had "veteran" status when I played in the NE over three decades ago!

Re: Britbase Updates
John, whilst having absolutely no idea what the Elephant Gambit is, nor any idea of the significance of anything my father wrote in his YEP column, I am just glad that it is being shared here and subsequently to be shared on Britbase. It means a lot to my family and it would have meant a lot to my parents to think that all these decades later, my Dad's musings on his beloved world of chess would have been of interest to such esteemed people in the chess community. So thank you for sparing the time to trawl through all this material.

A bumper crop, including games from Sultan Khan and Vera Menchik

Re: Britbase Updates
Price v Gibson is a strange 0-1 (unless it was a loss on time?)

Re: Britbase Updates
Many thanks, Gerard. I'm in the process of adding the games to BritBase at the moment. Can I point out that there is a colour error in one of the games: Edith Holloway was Black (and won) against Sydney Meymott...

Re: Britbase Updates
Thanks - I'd made the same assumption. I'll save it for my Edith Holloway Minor Piece, then, rather than adding it to my Sydney Meymott Minor Piece.John Saunders wrote: ↑Sat Sep 09, 2023 7:20 pmMany thanks, Gerard.

Re: Britbase Updates
A very poor error on my part as while I entered the moves, I was taken by how badly Meymott played.John Saunders wrote: ↑Sat Sep 09, 2023 7:20 pmMany thanks, Gerard.

Gunsberg spelled his name 'Meynott', so at least I got his name right.
