The book was Simple Chess, mailed to me by a friend in New York. although the Two Knights analysis was identical to that in White to Play and Win. At the end of our game I showed Weaver my copy, and asked him to autograph it. He did so, then he turned up the ... |

Jun-09-21 Hastings (1960/61)
| |
| roberts partner: <MissScarlett>How did L. W. Barden qualify to play in this event? Apart from Cafferty and Green, all the other eight players were invitees. That was normal at Hastings over many decades, just the one qualfying place for the winner of the Premier Reserves Major (later ... |

Jun-01-20 Anthony Henry Knight

| roberts partner: That sounds a correct identification. My mental picture of AH Knight from those two Southsea tournaments is that he was a small, slight man with dark hair, polite and correct to his opponents, and a chain smoker. Britbase has an additional game from Southsea 1949 where ... |

Mar-04-20 Otto Friedman
| |
| roberts partner: That's Otto Friedman for sure at London 1946. I played him many times in blitz and in tournament games. Some reports misspelt his name. Tall, bald, with remnants of ginger hair and a deep booming voice. A bit pedantic but an intelligent and well educated man. |

Feb-27-20 Tolush vs J C Thompson, 1954
| |
| roberts partner: Thompson is the player's surname, not his first name as wrongly stated above by chessgames.com. From Wiki:
The term "Hippopotamus Defence" was also used by the English amateur J. C. Thompson to describe a system of his devising, where Black played c6, d6, e6, and f6; ... |
