| Jul-27-10 | | I play the Fred: Why hasn't he played in 7-8 years? |
|
| Jul-28-10 | | whiteshark: <I play the reserved Derf> His bio says <Since 2003, he has not played competitive chess, due to teaching commitments.> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian... |

 | | smurph: Brown has 8 strong players and one unknown.He pairs one players moves against another so he has to break even in the 8 then he has to beat the unknown.Still an amazing memory trick . |

| Mar-08-11 | | wordfunph: sorry guys, i missed my source..
GM Julian Hodgson, four-time British Champion, has a sharp style that earned him the nickname 'grandmaster of disaster'. Hodgson (who has been inactive for several years now)
did not climb to the absolute top, but there is at least one area where he excels: sacrificing material in the opening to gain an early initiative. |

| Mar-10-11 | | Wyatt Gwyon: What's this guy up to? |
|
| Jul-25-11 | | Everett: Great to see some attention paid to this player today. He is another who decided to go his own way in the opening, and became a formidable GM. Basically put the Trompowsky family of openings on the map. |

| Jul-25-11 | | Everett: Here's a favorite, where he tears Seirawan a new one. J M Hodgson vs Seirawan, 1986 |
|
| Nov-20-11 | | Pepperpot: <Julian Hodgson put his name to a nasty and misleading BCF press release (March 30, 1993) in response to the founding of the PCA where he is quoted as saying "Short's behaviour has been unbelievable. To use the FIDE system for three years and then dump it at the last moment is total hypocrisy". For a man with such a firm moral stance against the PCA I was suprised to see him not only commentating at the London Intel Speed Chess this year, but also competing himself at the PCA Qualifier in Groningen and seconding Michael Adams in PCA events in New York and Linares. "Hypocrisy" is certainly the right word but perhaps he applied it to the wrong person. For those of you who are curious as to the authorship of this revealing BCF press release, a clue may be gleaned from the front cover of the British Chess Magazine which accompanies it. The names of four players as contacts were given, namely Murray Chandler, Julian Hodgson, Tony Miles and John Nunn....This group of players comprises the hard core of those who are fundamentally opposed to me.> <Nigel Short>, open letter upon his omission from the English Olympiad team to be played in Moscow, (<CHESS>, November 1994). |

 | | Retireborn: <Pepperpot> Nigel did actually play in the 1994 Moscow olm though; I gather it was Jon Speelman who smoothed over the row with Chandler et al... |
|
| Sep-07-13 | | savagerules: The way Hodgson, especially with White, dismantles his lessers reminds me of the way Marshall did the same thing with lower rated opponents. Quick tactical knockouts. Too bad this guy apparently quit playing. The Trompovsky should be renamed Hodgson-Trompovsky for the way he made it fashionable and even the top GMs play it as a surprise weapon. |

|
| Oct-12-13 | | PhilFeeley: I cannot submit in standard PGN format as I do not have all the information. Besides, when is it cluttering up a player's page with a game he/she played? I'd rather post it than try to figure out (as if I could) all the PGN information. |

| Oct-12-13 | | PhilFeeley: So here's another good game from Hodgson (from <Study Chess with Matthew Sadler, p. 72>:

Please commence taking that stick out of your butt. |

 | | perfidious: <Everett> We should be so fortunate as to have <Pepperpot>/<RedShield>, in his latest role, that of <MissScarlett>, desist from posting altogether, especially on the page of this original and uncompromising player. |
|
| Jul-25-14 | | Everett: <perf> How do you keep track of all the name changes? Impressive. |
|
Jul-25-14
| | perfidious: <Everett> The heavy lifting was done by <soldal> a time ago: Kenneth Rogoff Of the recent stuff, it is about pattern recognition, mostly language usage etc. |
|
| Sep-16-16 | | posoo: i have NEVER heard of dis man but i am GLAD TO SEE dat he plays wel. |
|
| Feb-11-19 | | Octavia: When I said he was wasting his time I didn't mean teaching kids, I meant stopping to play when he was really, really good! I know that lots of people loose grading points when they get old. It doesn't mean that old people can't play. It'd be great if Julian could get back and prove to all that he is still tops. That and others like him could stop the ageist lot |

| | woldsmandriffield: Spassky lost 5 games from memory in the simul against British juniors c.1977-78. It was the most ever in a simul and afterwards he said he wouldn’t take them on again for twice the money. Another leading player scored 50% and lost 11. Won’t say who! Spassky also said the team should be playing in international tournaments rather than stimulus ... he was right! |

| Jul-25-21 | | areknames: I remember reading that Hodgson would play 1.Bg5 if it were legal! Such a wonderful player. |
