Re: Britbase Updates
So how many non-chess books has RDK written?

Can this off-topic RDK discussion be moved to a different place, please?

Re: Britbase Updates
Thanks for the 1979 and 1985 games, Gerard, which I have added to the collection. You had previously sent me the game fragment from 1923 a year or so ago and it is already on BritBase. The version you have just posted is missing a pair of moves (69 Ke3 Ke7 and only then 70 g6, etc).

Re: Britbase Updates
Apologies yet again. This time I made three mistakes in one go, forgetting I'd seen the game before, missing the entry in the database, and then missing out a pair of moves.

Re: Britbase Updates
The Southport Visiter carried extensive reports of the 1905 British Championships, but got this game muddled up. It was OK until move 20, but then a combination of the wrong moves and bad reproduction defeated me. Can anyone do better?

Re: Britbase Updates
Of course, the game is so garbled one cannot be certain but I did manage to get to the end reasonably happy with my attempt at clarification. Clearly towards the end the Black column is no longer in sync. My solution to the latter was to add a Black 54th move (P-B4) and shove that column down one. So here it is, accepting that there are probably a few variations that would arrive at the same end point .

Re: Britbase Updates
Well done David. Your version solves the problem of how the Queen goes to g7 and the rest makes sense in chess terms. Neither player makes an obvious blunder, nor do they play like a machine at any stage. Good enough for me, but will it be good enough for Britbase?

An addition to City of London Chess Club Championship 1910/11
Also have we determined that A. Beamish was (Captain) Edmund Arthur Beamish (b.1880 d.1947) - later of the West London Club?

Thanks for the game, Gerard. Duly added to BritBase.
The Beamish question... I read through the relevant thread a few days ago and still couldn't make up my mind. If Richard James is stumped, then I'm clean bowled, out LBW and caught behind all at the same time. It's a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
