{Stuart: I've only played Eric once that I can remember (there may be more
from back in the 70's but they don't spring to mind right now). It was a
Worcestershire v Warwickshire county match played on the wonderful date of 2/2/
2. You will see, if you play it through, that I was under the cosh for the
first 20 or so moves. I was quite a bit higher graded than Eric in 2002 and I
recall that at one point (I can't spot it right today) when Eric had a chance
of aiming for a draw he said something along the lines of "I'm going to find
out where this leads, even if it loses" as he avoided that drawing line. And
he did eventually lose. But I thought it was a good attitude to the game.} 1.
