Re4 {"My game with Franklin was also full of excitement and missed chances. After making a temporary piece sacrifice to keep Black's King in the centre I made an error which should have prevented me from recovering it. Fortunately, Franklin did not see it either, and the game went on with White holding the advantage as before. This I succeeded in converting into an extra pawn with the better ending, but in the time rush and with Franklin resisting tenaciously I failed to obtain any more out of it. A draw was a fair result." (PH Clarke, BCM, October 1961, p275. Source: British Championship, Aberystwyth 1961, compiled by Eric Fisher. Contributed by Andy Ansel, 19 May 2023.} 1/2-1/2

{I played all three groups in this event (two sets of ten games in this section). Most of the opponents were weak but a draw with Black against the dangerous Franklin was a good result. He scored +7 =2 -1 qualifying for the semifinal in which he beat me. Franklin's other games from the first round do not appear to have been published.} 1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3.

1. e4 {The new BPCF Open continuous tournament began in the summer of 1985 and Franklin was joint winner with J.C. Wells on 5.5/6 in the first prelininary section (results in IC Sept 1986 p19). He thus qualified for the second semifinal section; the start-list is on p16 of the same IC issue.) J. Lyon won the section and S. Harwood qualified as runner-up ahead of Franklin. Franklin played in several preliminary and semifinal sections between 1985 and about 2001 (by which time BPCF had become BFCC). Franklin played just one Final (F6). Only some games of preliminary and semifinal sections were published in the Information Circular.} c5 2. f4 d5 3. exd5 Qxd5 4. Nc3 Qd8 5. Nf3 Nc6 6. Bb5 Bd7 7. O-O Nf6 8. Ne5 Rc8 9. Qe2 Qc7 10.

Franklin probably qualified by winning P69 but the issue where the final result of that section is not in my possession. The earliest issue held by the British Library is 4/1989 where I found this game and the final table (on page 24). Franklin finished fourth with 5/7. E. J. Smith and Walker tied first. The other players were J. Lyon, A. Robertson, M. D. Coughlan, P. A. Wilson and N. Cossins. Also A. Provost who withdrew and his games were cancelled. The Feb 88 IC issue result lists includes Franklin's win over me from P69 but he also qualified for S17 which started soon afterwards so he must have had another qualification.} Nf6 2.

{LITTLEWOOD'S CHOICE Michael Franklin still remains one of our leading Senior players, despite the fact that he is not in a position to play in the World Seniors or the European Seniors. Many of his opponents have found to their cost that his seemingly docile opening play is backed by a wealth of practical experience and even, at times, cunning. Here is a typical example against an opponent who needed to beat him in order to win the tournament ...} 1. d4 f5 2. g3 Nf6 3. Bg2 g6 4. c3 {Introducing an interesting plan that Colin Crouch successfully played against my attempt at the Leningrad System Reversed which used to be one of my favourite openings. By applying pressure along the a2-g8 diagonal, White obliges Black to make moves with which he is not comfortable, a psychological ploy that is most disconcerting to the opponent.} Bg7 5. Qb3 { Black now has to make the difficult choice between blocking the important diagonal with his 'e' or 'd' pawn. Perhaps preference should be given to the latter.} Nc6 6. Nh3 {A flexible move, its only downside being that a bold player could now try ...d5 followed by a rapid ...e5. However, this would give Michael just the type of game he relishes. It is revealing to note that, although Cherniaev now quotes the committal 6...d5 as an interesting possibility, he does not play it!?} e6 7. O-O {The provocative alternative 7 Bg5!?, with a view to exploiting the awkward position of Black's QN, was also worth a try e.g. 7...h6 8 Bxf6 Qxf6 9 d5! or 7...0-0 8 Nf4! White has little need to worry about the two bishops in such situations. Perhaps Black's best reply is 7...Ne7 but then 8 Nd2 h6 9 Bxf6 Bxf6 10 e4 gives White a comfortable game} O-O 8. Nd2 Kh8 {Although in his notes Cherniaev criticises this natural move, he does not suggest an alternative. The obvious 8...d5 allows 9 Nf4 g5 10 Nd3! when Black would have to embark on a sharp but risky attack on the K side without any immediate help from either his QB or QR} 9. e4 $1 fxe4 10. Nxe4 Nxe4 11. Bxe4 d5 12. Bg2 e5 {To coin my own phrase, there's an element of logical desperation about this move. On the one hand Black opens up a diagonal for his dormant QB whilst on the other hand he provides White with useful squares and lines, along with clear points of attack} 13. Bg5 $1 Qd7 {An embarrassing move to have to make, but 13...Qe8? 14 Rae1! would immediately lose at least a pawn.} 14. dxe5 Nxe5 {} 15. f4 $1 Ng4 16. Rae1 c6 17. Nf2 {Cherniaev gives this a question mark, suggesting instead 17 Re7 Qd6 18 Rfe1, threatening 19 Rxg7 Kxg7 20 Be7. However, this would give Black some respite with 20... Nf6! threatening to drive White back with 21...Qc5+ 22 Kh1 Ng8 because 23 Re8?? Bxh3! wins a piece} Nf6 18. Nd3 Qc7 19. Ne5 {It is only here that I would quibble about Michael's play. Instead of blocking the 'e' file like this I would have played the immediate 19 Qa3! avoiding the exchange of queens and threatening to win at once with 20 Bxf6! Rxf6 21 Re8+.} Bf5 20. Bxf6 Bxf6 21. h3 Rae8 $2 {Whilst pointing out that this is a mistake, Cherniaev makes the dubious claim that the correct move 21...Qb6+ would have given him "slightly the better endgame, but everybody knows that you go into an endgame against young people and I was playing an old man"....!? Where is this slightly better ending?} 22. Qa3 $1 a6 23. Re2 Kg7 {Black gives as better 23...Re7 24 Rfe1 Rfe8 25 Nf7+ Kg8 (not 25...Kg7 26 Nd6!) 26 Nh6+ Kg7 27 Nxf5+ gxf5 28 Rxe7+ Rxe7 29 Rxe7+ Qxe7 with enough for a draw, "but  draw would have been as good as a loss to me."} 24. Rfe1 Re7 {} 25. Nxg6 $1 Qb6+ 26. Kh2 Kxg6 27. Rxe7 Bxe7 28. Rxe7 Bb1 29. f5+ {I don't really understand the need for this move when White has the forcing sequence 29 Qd6+ Rf6 20 Qb8 Kh6 21 Qg8 Bg6 22 Rxh7+ Bxh7 23 Qg5 mate, but Black now resigned anyway, thus losing the prize money but not even grudgingly acknowledging that a higher-rated player had been outplayed ...} 1-0
