Cibator: English IM William Winter (no relation to the Chess Omnibus author) also administered a severe pasting to Tinsley junior's capabilities as a chess correspondent, remarking that he'd made the Times column a laughing-stock throughout the chess world. This was in Winter's memoirs, ...

| | Apr-16-13 K J Wicker vs R Webb, 1978 
| |
|
Cibator: It's almost two years since I first submitted this to CG! After a time, I figured they'd decided it was too bizarre to include, so I smuggled it in, so to speak, via a post to Kevin Wicker's profile. Nice to see it up here "officially" at last.
Wicker himself annotated the game, in

|
Cibator: <hope62>: The author you're thinking of was John F Love - no relation as far as I know. Agree with you entirely about "Further Chess Ideas", which I found a great help in my mid-teens. JFL was also joint editor of an excellent (but sadly short-lived) little magazine called ...

| |
|
Cibator: As the verb conjugation puts it: E Tate Eaten (eat, ate, eaten).

| | Jan-01-13 A Mithil vs D Aaron, 2011
| |
|
Cibator: As we might say in NZ or Oz: Ajgaonkar had an impressive-looking game at one stage, but it still went to Deepak. ("Go to the pack" - informal NZ/Australian term, meaning "deteriorate" or "go to pieces".)

| | Dec-28-12 Frederick D Yates
| |
|
Cibator: Regarding the correct version of Yates' forename: I very recently read a piece about his fellow-Yorkshireman Sir Fred Hoyle, the eminent astronomer. Seems that in that part of the world, Fred is in fact regarded by quite a few people as a full name in its own right, not necessarily ...

| | Dec-26-12 Tarrasch vs J Davidson, 1926
| |
|
Cibator: William Winter, commenting on this game in his "Chess For Match Players" (1951), classified it as a King's Indian!! But he was at least correct in remarking that Black played very weakly in the early stages.

| |
|
Cibator: Hang on against a GM rated over 170 points higher?
Yes, E Can!

| | Dec-21-12 James Rodney Phillips
| |
|
Cibator: If I remember right, he performed well at the 1961 World Junior Championship, winning one of the lesser finals. I can recall reading a very brief report of his premature death in "Chess", but had no idea it was a suicide. How tragic.
