Ah that is sad.
I know what you are going through.
I lost my chess score book from 1981-83/84 over 300 games some were
glorious wins from when I was at my peak. I gave up playing after that for 10 years.
Except for league chess and the occasional tournament.
(not cos I lost the book - it was work).
Then I chess bonkers and would often have a game every night of the week
I was a member of three clubs so could play in 3 club championships.
I won the 1st Dragons C.C. during this time and the Scottish Open - but
have thes games thanks to bulletin and games appearing in print.
Paul in another thread asked to see some other games I played,
I wish he had not cos it brought back pangs of despair.
I feel like an artist who has lost all his work in a fire.
Ah well.....
In that book is a game in 1983 where I played my first postional move.
I was graded over 2000. It was the first time I ever made a move
with the sole purpose of positional play.
(it was a wee combo that won no material just left him pawns on
the same colour as his bishop - and I won it easily).
See SG and ask him to retro the game for you. 😉
(PS - the system found your game that dull it just decided to scrap it) 😉
