  Benzol: Silly me, I'd forgotten I'd kibitzed on P Burke vs G Clayton, 1981 already.
Jan-30-13  wordfunph: while reading Chess Monthly UK 2003 (forgot which edition), i discovered Graham Clayton's letter to the editor.

recalling him as a regular here in CG, i tried to search for his player page and bingo! :)

Jan-30-13  Shams: You can boast of taking a half point from "B. Fischer"!

  OhioChessFan: That was quick.

A question, per <Seven Hills,NSW> My eyes expect a space between the comma and "NSW", but I accept that Australian place names might not adhere to that tradition. So is it typo or convention?

<OhioChessFan>
My OTB career was the junior chess in the late 1970's and early 1980's, and playing in the Norfolk Island Chess Festival a few times in the mid-1990's. My main chess playing has been CC- I have been a member of the Correspondence Chess League of Australia since 1980.
