You have inside you a smasing book Alex.
All the fueds etc..etc...etc...and you must name all the names.
Sprinkle it with games and positions that have caused arguments.
"Perhaps instead of spending energy on this noticeboard those with time could organise a tournament."
Done it. A 5 round weekend swiss.
Complete and utter chaos.
Did not realise the playing rooms were getting painted on the chosen date so
shifted the date forward one week. (without realising it was Eater Weekend.)
Only two players turned up. (plus two arbiters and a spectator.)
There was one game played. Brian Duncan v Joe Middleton.
If Joe had rolled the bones and threw himself at the feet of the Gods.
(played an unsound double Rook sac.) He could have ended up mating White thus:
[pgn][FEN "r1b1k2r/2p2pQp/p2p4/1p5q/4P1n1/2P2N2/PPB3PP/R1B1R1K1 b kq - 0 18"]
18... Be6 19. Qxh8+ Kd7 20. Qxa8 Qc5+ 21. Kh1 Nf2+ 22. Kg1 Nh3+ 23. Kh1 Qg1+ 24. Nxg1 Nf2[/pgn]
Found some guy in the bar who liked Raymond Keene to present the prize.
The whole sorry tale is here:
