They include discussion of the 22-board blindfold exhibition which Miles gave in Roetgen, Germany in 1984. All the game-scores were passed on by Miles for safekeeping and are given here now.> |

| | wordfunph: the most appropriate description of GM Tony Miles..
<Tony possessed incredible fighting spirit, he always played for a win and he was one of the most creative players ever to move the pieces. He possessed a wicked sense of humour and his writings on chess were always entertaining. His style was original and he usually avoided main lines of opening theory and relied on his natural ability to outplay opponents.> http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/malcolm... |

| Feb-08-12 | | Nosnibor: I first came across Tony 40 years ago in a game for the play off for the title of East Midlands Champion.He was then a quitely spoken youth of 16 years of age ,polite and approximately half the weight when I last met him in the nineties.In those days it was a knckout event what was then the Forrest Cup .Tony had won through as winner of the West Midlands and I as winner of the East.The press in Birmingham did not rate my chances very highly against my talented opponent.Here is the first game that we played:22 March 1972 White:A.J.Miles Black:J.K.Robinson,Four Knights,Belgrade Gambit 1e4 e5 2Nc3 Nf6 3Nf3 Nc6 4d4 exd4 5Nd5 Nxd5? 6exd5 Bb4+ 7Bd2 Qe7+ 8Qe2 Bxd2+ 9Kxd2 d3 10Qxe7+ Nxe7 11d6! cxd6 12Bxd3 b6 13Rhe1 Bb7 14Nd4 Kf8 15f3 a6 16Re2 g6 17 Rae1 Nc6 18Nxc6 Bxc6 19Kc3 h5 20h4 Bd5! 21Rd2 Rc8+ 22Kd4 Be6 23Bxa6 Ra8 24Bc5 Ra4 25b3 Rxa2 26Red1 Ke7 27Bd5 Rc8 28c4 Rxd2? 29Rxd2 Bxd5 30Kxd5 Rc5+ 31Kd4 draw agreed |

 | | Abdel Irada: After reading Nigel Short's "obituary" for Miles, I find myself pleased not to have any connection whatever to "internal English chess politics." I think it may be even nastier than our own. |

 | | thegoodanarchist: A tragic death for one so young. He left chess and this world too soon. I for one was deeply saddened when I learned of his passing in 2001, having been a fan of his games. |
