Imagine the details the players the atmosphere and back stories and unknown facts about the game wrote like a professional but is a Grandmaster who played some of the most famous opponents with conversations that are important history and no one wants to know here at home. I suspect the reasons but don't want to be sued

The incorrect opening is a classic game.

I played against Tony about 15-20 games of blitz in the 90s. All of them were at Mike Fox's Checkmate Chess Club in Harborne near Birmingham. I think I had white every time. Almost all of them were in the line 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 a6 5. Bd3 Nc6 6. Nxc6 dxc6 or his patented Albin line 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e5 3. dxe5 dxc4!?. I definitely drew at least 1 (maybe 2) and lost the rest, although I don't think he was exactly trying very hard. RIP.

Would you like to read the official comments say with Kasparov or how it may have gone in his opinion which is humble, correct and honest.

Edit come on what service does wasting user time when in fact this could be as I think it is a gem of a good thing to try and get done.

Love hearing from opponents because he was a great guy. Yes I believe it would of been a great experience. I like hearing from the opponents and players that he helped so let us stay on the subject of chess his games any and all.

Tell you what isn't out there that hasn't been read his long notes! Maybe If some official help got on board and were able to publish some examples then that probably would have a significant amount of respect it deserves the only negative feedback is at his own expense and sometimes he was poorly and got a lot of stick which could of been noted. All I see is respect of the game that has not been in detail since Iceland and the flurry of activity this is similar in a background, backstory that maybe pieces of interest till such days an explosion of recent times.

Respect to you sir he was well Tony not afraid to say exactly what he thought but valid. My aunt was a nurse and a lot of talk was said without knowing the truth. But that's not what I'm going to get into I get a lot of correspondence about personal questions when I am asking for knowledge. I have one pro that is not exactly on board but agreed this is something of significant amount of what goes on with the feeling your almost in the room. I just want to make sure noone is upset with this and even losing some friendly games is in no way a reason not to be included. If the pro supports it in principle, yes it's that good a read that needs support and bringing together then I know it is the right thing to do. People who played Tony probably remember the stick but it is not about this. Kudos for the reply.

Edit I just want to keep it up to date that no reply from UK English chess those who played him around then would probably have the same opinion as myself as to maybe why hope I'm wrong but how can I have not even had a courtesy note of received query.
