May-16-09    ray keene: a few words about my old friend julian hardinge aka lord hardinge of penshurst-he was the best chessplayer at eton, went on to trinity college cambridge a bit before i did, has played v botvinnik and keres in simuls -beating keres and winning the best game award made by keres himself. julian went on to be the top board player for the uk house of lords chess team and only relinquished the position when new labour disembowelled the house of lords a few years ago. julian hardinge's most prominent victim in a face to face clash was ten times british champion dr jonathan penrose. along with julian simpole the publishing company hardinge simpole is now responsible for publishing most of my books. May-17-09    volvak: <when new labour disembowelled the house of lords a few years ago. > So what does it feel like working for someone who has supported "new labour"? May-17-09    ray keene: i personally have never supported them and certainly never voted for them- i imagine you are referring to the times supporting new labour when they first came in-i doubt there are many people left in the uk who would give them the time of day now-we shall see on june 4 when the elctions take place sadly the chess column doesnt dictate the political policy of the paper in which it appears! Jul-02-09    Knight13: <ray keene> Any chance you know who the Black player was in this game: J Hardinge vs NN, 1966 ? Jul-02-09    ray keene: i have asked lord hardinge-of course white was winning easily had he played the simple Nxc5 and e5 instead of Bd4 Jul-02-09    Knight13: <ray keene> (repost) Sorry I didn't realize you meant that you are waiting for his reply. Thought that you have already asked and the answer was the analysis! It just seemed awkward. Jul-04-09    ray keene: black was r w sage of selwyn collge cambridge
