His a great win of his against my favourite British player, Tony Miles.

He will be greatly missed and I give him full credit for carrying on at his age, I wish his son (also a chess player) and family the best.

This game is by Paul, not John, correct?

I have always associated the Littlewood name with the foundations of modern English chess, and a catalyst to the great British players and successes over the last 30 years. He will live forever in the books!

Whoops, you're quite right. I should have been suspicious that a player in his fifties could have man-handled Miles so easily.
