The article contains two different spellings of David Norwood's University college. It should be Keble not Keeble.

Happy Birthday David Norwood.
I didn't realise he was from Bolton.
Bolton seems to have a lot of decent Chess players born there.
I have a copy of Steve Davis Plays Chess by Batsford.
Steve Davis & David Norwood 1995 Edition.
It has exactly the same cover as "Grandmaster meets Chess Amateur".
An excellent book, which my parents bought for me for my birthday.
I also have a copy of "Winning with the Modern" 1994 Edition by David Norwood.
David was a great commentator for the BBC, for the world championship between Short and Kasparov.
