Sep-14-09    alexrawlings: Does anyone know anything about this guy? My girlfriend recently bought me his <Better Chess for Club Players> from a charity shop and I'm really enjoying it. It has old school notation (P-k4, etc) and was published in 1982. Anyway, as a club player (ECF 140, under the most recent grading system) I'm finding it helpful. Sep-14-09    alexrawlings: an ECF of 140 translates to an ELO of 1770 I think, if anyone reads my earlier post and wonders. Sep-14-09    OverTheHill: I believe he played for Kingston & Thames Valley Chess Club. http://www.kingstonchess.org.uk Apr-05-11    perfidious: <alexrawlings: Does anyone know anything about this guy?> If you can get hold of either edition of Secrets of Grandmaster Play (which is really the predecessor to Nunn's Best Games), it's well worth a go; his style is clear and easy to read, with plenty of useful ideas on the way. Dec-18-11    wordfunph: he also authored Exploring the Endgame published in 1992 by American Chess Promotions.. http://www.amazon.com/Exploring-End... Dec-18-11    King Death: < perfidious:...If you can get hold of either edition of Secrets of Grandmaster Play...it's well worth a go...> This was a very good book.
