Ray Keene plagiarism index

"Ray Keene may or may not have purloined the odd bit of analysis of the Lisitsin Gambit."

Research has established that a large number of Ray Keene's Times and Spectator columns have been plagiarised from elsewhere. A precise total is difficult to give (not least because they are often duplicated) but so far it is more than one hundred and forty, with more than one hundred and thirty from the beginning of 2011 onwards. We expect there are more to be discovered.

We link below only to those of Ray's plagiarisms which have so far been documented online, which is presently just a small proportion of those so far identified. The list is added to regularly. If you're new to the subject, this post may be a good place to start.

Please also see the Plagiarised by Ray Keene index, which takes the information in the pieces linked to below and catalogues the persons and publications Ray has plagiarised.
