Happy Birthday FM Marcus Harvey (24-vii-1996)

Happy Birthday to FM Marcus Harvey (24-vii-1996)

Probably England's most promising FIDE Master and deserving of the IM title and beyond.

How much support at 25 does he get from the ECF?

How much support would Marcus (at 25) have got at the height of the Barden era?

The answer to both is presumably none.

At 25 particularly in the 1970s it was a question of time. Once employed, limited holiday time was available and even to use that may have involved sacrificing the foreign non-chess holiday.
