Purdy... yes of course i collect chess books as well his book on the 1st Correspondence WC "how Purdy won" and his book on the 1972 Fischer-Spassky WC Match are valued texts in my collection just as a bit of trivia, his >son John Purdy became Australian OTB Champion (at least once) several years ago.>Well, he bought my Novag Forte after trouncing it at blitz (to my utter >amazement). > that i did not know you should have kept the Forte nice compact computer with a fine Kittinger program i bet Peter still has it in his back storage room,,his son probably traded it in for a newer model :)) Very Best Regards Steve PS ..i offer to trade you a Mephisto Vancouver 16 bit module for a years supply of Vegamite :)
