Apr-12-22  Nosnibor: Sorry to learn the death of David Anderton whom I have played on a few occasions. My last game against him was in the British Seniors Championship held at Swansea University in Round One on the 12th August 2006.He was the highest graded player in the event at 2266. It was a rather topsy turvy game.
