See the reference above to an old (extremely generous) review by "The Bad Master" - scroll to Chess Note 8323. Does anyone have a clue as to the lifetime scores between Fairhurst and Aitken? I don't but I imagine that it would be close. At any rate, they were both very fine players in Scotland's past.
Can't believe this old book (for which the late M D Thornton did most of the hard research work, I must add) is now virtually 30 years old. Guess the next book comes 20 years hence ... the 150th Anniversary!
