Mar-16-19    GrahamClayton: "Friedgood finished second in the 1979 British Solving Championship. A chance encounter with the British Chess Problem Society brought Friedgood into the heart of the British chess community, and Friedgood has since won five British titles in solving and contributed to an online publication on the subject. He participated in the 28th World Chess Solving Championship at Haldiki in 2004, winning the team silver medal with John Nunn and Jonathan Mestel." https://www.jewishlivesproject.com/...
