Re: Happy Birthday IM Nigel Povah (17-vii-1952)
Nigel beat me with an unusual variation when he had the black side of an English. I commented I hadn't seen the line before and he said, "I mention it in my book." So I went and bought the book, found the line, which he dismissed as inferior. I challenged him on that, next time I saw him, and he said something like, "Well, you didn't find the right answer - that's not my fault." I had to agree that was true...
I'm still waiting for my first win against him, but he is one of the good guys. Happy birthday!
