| May-04-12 | | PhilFeeley: <CG.com> Perhaps you'd like to collect the games from the Suttles/Seirawan simul given by them in Vancouver in 2008. It's a nice collection from a great birthday/publication celebration: http://www.suttlesbook.com/suttles_... |
|
| May-04-12 | | PhilFeeley: P.S. One important game missing from the above collection is the one by the Davies brothers against the Suttles/Seirawan duo. I watched most of it and it was extremely interesting as the Davies brothers had black. Perhaps someone in Vancouver (since I'm no longer there) could persuade them to upload the game. I've asked Steven Wright (editor of BC Chess and BC chess organizer) if he could get it but it's not in his collection of the games from this event. I do remember that the Davies brothers won. |

| May-13-12 | | parisattack: <PhilFeeley: So did anyone ever see Ray Keene's review of the Suttles collection for the Times and Spectator?> I recall reading it - tho has been some time back. I do remember lots of CG'ers anxiously awaiting the Suttles books - then when they finally arrived, silence. I think they are a terrific set of books. |

| Dec-21-12 | | waustad: Happy birthday!!! |

| May-17-15 | | TheFocus: <I quit chess because I had developed a satisfactory strategic understanding of the game and whatever improvement remained was in technique. This would require a lot of effort for minimal returns> - Duncan Suttles. |
|
| Dec-21-15 | | TheFocus: Happy Birthday, GM Suttles!!
I really love your games. |
|
| Jan-23-16 | | Mikhail12: I first discovered Duncan Suttles games from the "San Antonio '72" tournament book.I was taken with his play and have enjoyed playing over his games every since.My question is,does anyone own the 3 volume set of his games and is it worth the price.What I've seen is about $49+ per volume. |
|
| Oct-15-16 | | ljfyffe: Ducan Suttles wons the 1977-82 Eino Heilimo CC Memorial II. |

 | | Diocletian: Anybody who can beat the tough guys in this "Notable Games" list deserves a picture. Here are a bunch of them: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=canadian+... |
|
| Oct-05-19 | | arthurp: I got some games from GM Suttles and they were in English descriptive.Didn't think anyone used descriptive notation anymore.Anyone surprised? |
|
| Nov-21-22 | | pazzed paun: I would gladly pay $20 for volume one of chess on the edge ....maybe it will turn up in my local bookshop |
|
| Dec-21-22 | | EvanTheTerrible: I know of Duncan Suttles that he plays a d6 g6 system as black. That's about it! |
|
| Jul-24-23 | | pazzed paun: I was able to buy volume one for $40! |
|
| Mar-17-24 | | Caissanist: <arthurp> I am not at all surprised. I gave up tournament chess at the same time as Suttles, but I still think in descriptive. |
|
| Apr-03-24 | | lentil: Is there any other person who has played in both the Canadian Closed and US Closed championships? And in the same year (1965)? |
|
| Apr-08-24 | | Caissanist: <lentil> Nobody in the same year. Besides Suttles, Biyiasas has played in both the US and Canadian Closed championships. In the last 20 years the US Championship has sometimes been played as a swiss rather than a round-robin with a large number of players qualifying; Igor Ivanov played in one of those, probably some other Canadians have as well. |
|
| Apr-08-24 | | Olavi: Igor Ivanov played a few of the closed US championships in the 80's. |
|
| Apr-08-24 | | Olavi: Ivanov plyed the closed US championships in at least 89 and 90. But in addition he played the British championship in 1987... everybody from the Commonwealth could enter. |
|

 | | perfidious: Ivanov was something of a strange case; after his defection to Canada in 1980, he spent much of his time stateside playing the Grand Prix circuit, with great success, but remained a resident of Montreal. I recall being surprised on seeing his name in the listings for the US Championship, almost as much so as when Miles briefly emigrated to USA late in the eighties and played under the flag. The one time I faced Ivanov OTB was in a Boston event, though we played in other venues, including New York and Toronto. Sometime during that decade, a Commonwealth Championship began, an event in which Spraggett shared the title with (I believe) Chandler in 1985, just before he won the New York Open and qualified from Taxco for the Montpellier Candidates. The Commonwealth event mentioned above, if I recall correctly, was held in Hong Kong, and much earlier in the year than the traditional date of the British Championship (mid-late August). |
|
| Apr-09-24 | | Olavi: The Commonwealth Championship lasted only for a couple of years before it was incorporated into the British, I think. |
|
| Apr-09-24 | | Olavi: Or was it incorporated into the Lloyds Bank. |
|
Apr-09-24
| | perfidious: Which itself went into the shades once the sun set on the 1994 edition. |
