Aug-26-19  Nosnibor: <deputy1> The late L.A.Edwards was always known has Alan. He detested his first name. In the period 1964 to 1967 I spent many Sundays coaching him. My personal score against him is 5 wins,5 draws and 7 losses.
Jul-15-20  Nosnibor: On what would have been Alan`s 70 th birthday I am entering below the game from our first serious meeting played at the Leicestershire Chess Club 19/12/1966 in a British Championship Qualifying Competition. The position after Whites 18th move would make a reasonable entry to guess Black`s next move.
