Andrew, ...That's a pretty decent run too Jack.<br /><br />Andrew, RDK's run was<br /><br />Bristol 1969: +4 =7 -0<br />Coventry 1970: +3 =8 -0<br />Blackpool 1971: +5 =6 -0<br />Brighton 1972: +4 =7 -0<br />Eastbourne 1973: +1 =3 -0<br /><br />or<br />+17 =31 -0<br /><br />then a loss to Pritchett in game 49. So this gives me the opportunity to say I miscounted and it was a 48 game unbeaten run not 49. Still pretty impressive though!Jonathan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293162543015231439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37675897.post-25422865389565274922010-01-26T10:47:00.124+00:002010-01-26T10:47:00.124+00:00I once went 35 games in the British Championship w...I once went 35 games in the British Championship without a draw.Jack Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17433574267085964238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37675897.post-43275882296944865432010-01-25T22:53:31.325+00:002010-01-25T22:53:31.325+00:00I went 2 British Under 14s undefeated (3 wins, 8 d...I went 2 British Under 14s undefeated (3 wins, 8 draws and 4 wins, 7 draws). Don't know when I lost in the earlier/later tourneys but guess must have been at least 25 undefeated. A rather boring run though, typical of my games as a junior. RDK knocks my run into a cocked hat though and I bet he had a far higher winning %. Oh and it was in the proper event also.<br />AndrewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
