Jun-19-23  Nosnibor: I believe that James Steedman originally lived in Northumberland before moving to Norway. Here is a correspondence game that we contested almost 50 years ago! <White: J.K. Robinson > <Black: J. Steedman> <Event: Sinclair Trophy, B.C.C.A. Dec 1973 - July 1974.> <Opening: English Opening A27> 1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 e5 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.g3 Bb4 5.Bg2 0-0 6.0-0 Re8 7.Nd5 Nxd5 8.cxd5 Nd4 9.Ne1 d6 10.a3 Ba5 11.b4 Bb6 12.e3 Nf5 13.Bb2 a5 14.Qa4 Bd7 15.b5 Re7 16.Bc3 Qe8 17.Rb1 f6 18.Nd3 Nh6 19.Kh1 Qg6 20.Qc4 Qh5 21.f3 Nf5 22.Kg1 g5 23.Nf2 Rf8 24.a4 Qg6 25.Rbe1 h5 26.Nd3 Nh6 27.Nc1 Kh7 28.Nb3 Bf5 29.Nc1 g4 30.f4 Kg7 31.Rf2 h4 32.Bf1 Be4 33.Bd3 hxg3 34.hxg3 Bxd3 35.Qxd3 e4 36.Qc4 Draw agreed.
Jun-20-23  Nosnibor: I must apologise for the above error in the game shown. I was the player of the Black pieces and not Steedman.
