'Disturbing king and queen position' reminds me of my game against the exotically initialled E.O.M.C. Teichmann (Erich? Is he still around?) at Southend in 1977. After 8 moves an arbiter (not Jack Speigel) passed by and pointed out that Black had started with the wrong set up! (I posted this four years ago but didn't ask about Erich Teichmann then).Kevin Thurlow wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 11:24 pmI find the position of his king and queen disturbing though.

I think this one needed splitting into it's own thread.

Re: Disturbing king and queen position
I asked the same question about Teichmann on another thread - we were talking about 1. b4.
He IS still around, though not in a chess sense I think.

W H Cozens gave an example of this in his classic book The King Hunt.

Thanks for posting those nostalgic photos John. I was present at the centenary Varsity match (got a decent draw against Watson); your photo reminded me of John Cox's amazing barnet at that time.
Happy days.

Re: Disturbing king and queen position
Yes, have to agree with that - thanks John. The photo taken at Lloyds Bank is a who’s who of English junior chess at the time - I recognise most of the players, but I can’t name them allNick Ivell wrote: ↑Sat Jun 20, 2020 3:49 pmThanks for posting those nostalgic photos John.
