Cibator: Does he ever play the Exchange Variations of the Spanish or the Queen's Gambit? Seems unlikely ... ;-)

Cibator: Take this mess down at once, and find the correct version of the score!

Cibator: One latter-day version (courtesy of Steeleye Span) goes thus: Oh come lands, or come towns,
Oh come tinker or come tailor;
Come fiddler, come dancer,
Come ploughman or come sailor;
Come rich man, come poor man,
Come fool or come witty -
Come on any man at all,

| | Jun-22-16 D Parr vs Keene, 1962 
| |
|
Cibator: It's a young Ray Keene (only 14 at the time, though already a rising talent) against a much more experienced 18-year old.

Cibator: Thanks for posting the game <Nosnibor>. As a matter of interest, where did you get it? I've only seen it myself once before, in a long-defunct UK publication that I no longer possess.

| | Dec-22-13 V Ciocaltea vs J Kozma, 1963
| |
|
Cibator: Once again, Black chokes on the old bone-in-the-throat (a White P at h6) coupled with the thrust e6 clearing the way for an inrush of White pieces. For another example see: P N Lee vs I Radulov, 1965 .

| |
|
Cibator: <BOSTER>: The game dates from 1963. First postings about it here were in 2004, indicating it was put on the database in that year or just before, ie about 40 years after it was played. That was the basis for my previous comment.

| | Jun-26-13 A Ludgate vs J Littlewood, 1971
| |
|
Cibator: Round 3, I see, so not one of those perfunctory games one sometimes sees in the closing stages of an event, where there's little or nothing at stake. Most likely it has to do with the fact that Ludgate was rated about 150-200 points below his opponent, and would have been ...
