A close second, however, was Hodgson-Short in the British Championship at Chester 1979, in which Julian lost from a totally winning position (their first meeting, I think). I know at least one well-placed opinion which holds that from that moment Julian never had any significant ambition in the game (apart from, y'know, being a GM, regular British Champion, earning a living and all that stuff), and certainly within a year it was Nigel being invited to the Phillips and Drew and not Julian.John Coxnoreply@blogger.com
