A game against Cecil John Seddon Purdy in 1947

This game was played against Cecil Purdy in 1947, by my grandads brother, Chresten Waagner Nielsen, who was 20 years old at the time.

It's interesting because Cecil Purdy was a great and known player, and because the game teaches that sometimes, something promising shows out to become bad.

Below is analysed what would happen, if white continued playing.

I find it interesting that even though you say that C.J.S. Purdy was a 'great and known player' he is practically forgotten in Australian chess. Perhaps he is better remembered overseas than at home?

Purdy's books has a lot of fans worldwide. A swedish paper offered to fulfill the wish of a lucky reader who mailed a wish to the paper. The winner had the wish to play a game of chess vs Purdy (world correspondence champion). I guess the lucky winner really liked chess.
