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.

Hi greenpawn, it's a Compromised Amar Gambit (6.e4)

1.Nh3 d5
2.g3 e5
3.f4 Bxh3
4.Bxh3 exf4
5.0-0 fxg3
[The move order could be a bit different, from this position Welling gives:]

"Because of the critical game Staples Hempson, 1971, 6...Qh4 is regarded as a refutation. Staples found nothing better than 7.Kg2 but won the game".

I'm guessing these players are British - do you have their full names?

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.

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