True Gentleman at Chess board. Played against him at Bournemouth and due coldness in venue asked me if he could get jumper from his room.
Very strong player.

An excellent profile of Michael Franklin with one factual error.

The 1978 Aaronson Masters was NOT HELD IN HARROW.

The venue was the Imperial Hotel, Russell Square, Bloomsbury, London.

I know this as

1) I have the tournament bulletin.

2) I played in the tournament.
