The games in this book are from the years 1963 to 1974 when I was active in the local leagues (Portsmouth and London) and various South of England Open tournaments (e.g. Bognor Regis and Hastings). Most of the games I have not collected (or annotated) before and many were played at a rapid rate (e.g. 10 or 15 minutes each with no increment). It also contains my recollections of my friend Mike Dymond, chess player, painter, and photographer who died this past year.
