Apr-08-25 Plaskett vs W N Watson, 1990 
| |
| Plaskett: William could have put me to sleep, of course, after my 40 Kd4?? ... with 40...Rf2. However, see the position I myself managed to lose against him a few weeks before that in Luxembourg, if you think I am a lucky so-and-so!!
HE won that game and that tournament.
