Help with finding a game: Staples-Hempson, 1971

Hi all,

I'm looking for a particular game that i was hoping that someone might have.

In the German magazine Kaissiber (issue 5, p.23), IM Welling mentions the game: "Staples - Hempson, 1971".

If you have any more information on this game, please post it here.
The moves?
First names?
Correspondence or live (where)?


regards, Paul

Hi.

MY DB finds games from that era by both players but not playing each
other - what opening was it.

Maurice Staples and Peter Hampson.

Am now looking at 1.Nh3 games.

Staples played 1.Nf3 d5 2.a4 (playing a Black defence to 1.d4 a tempo up).
I adopted this a few times if I knew I was going to get 1...d5 in reply.

Will get back.

Nothing I'm afraid - Have a few 1.Nh3 games -all losses bar a 42 move win.
Nothing with your move order.

Looks like I'm much closer to solving this mystery...

That's interesting. I haven't looked at that before now. After 2...c5, do you play 3.e4 like Myers?
