In his Monograph

Post by James Pratt » Sun May 02, 2021 9:20 pm

Mark Horton gives his 1973 win, a Petroff's with MHH as white, against PH Clarke, in his CHESS PLAYER booklet on same. Can anybody tell me where this game was played? It is not cited. (I have the moves, no more). My databases are silent. Thanks! (Could it have been a postal game? I just don't know .. ) :(

James,

You could ask him personally. He edits (or at any rate did edit) a bridge magazine. Regrettably I seem to have lost his email address but going via Malcom Pein I'm sure a message would reach him (I have used this route!). Malcolm can be reached as Director of International Chess at
[email protected]. [Mark Horton was at school with me, though he was about three years my senior].

Ah yes
"Do you play chess?"
"Yes, but I prefer a game with a better chance of cheating."
