John Saunders: Thanks for the website plug, Tryfon! He and I were amongst the first people in the UK to set up club websites for our respective chess clubs back in the mid 1990s and we used to swap notes on how to do things. The other thing we had in common was playing in the Lloyds Bank ...

John Saunders: Wise words re blitz. I'm trying to convince a former 'patient' of yours (who went under the name of 'Rookie') of their wisdom. He doesn't seem to listen to me (as his 'local GP') and I'm hoping that the second opinion provided by his former 'Harley Street specialist' will have

|
John Saunders: Strange... there was no Olympiad in 1985. The Malta Olympiad took place in 1980. Brian Vella played in the 1986 and 1988 Olympiads (as a teenager), but Ray Keene's last Olympiad was in 1980 (which was indeed held in Malta) and he lost the only two games he played in it. So ...
