@1968Tv 1990. Great stadium atmosphere. England lit up the tournament, only outdone by Germany's ruthless efficiency.

@JVMonte2 Excellent album but I can't listen to it all at once. It's very intense. Headlong Flight and The Garden are favourites.

[Ian Malcolm Helps @ianmalcolmhelps]

@bagshaw2112 Before 1980, probably late 70s so going for 1978.

[Ian Malcolm Helps @ianmalcolmhelps]

@bagshaw2112 One of these borderline charts. Benny Hill on the way down so I think this is January 1972.

@GenTXer2 👍

@MustafaCharts 16/56 = 2/7 = 10/35. X is 10

@chess_feed If Kxb5, Nd4+ forking the Queen and Knight. If Nd4 its stalemate.

[Ian Malcolm Helps @ianmalcolmhelps]

@bagshaw2112 Benny in Crossroads, the TR7 released, Ronald Biggs in Australia. I'm going for 1976.

[Ian Malcolm Helps @ianmalcolmhelps]

@bagshaw2112 Human League going down, XTC going up, so looks like early 1982.

[Ian Malcolm Helps @ianmalcolmhelps]

@p302_retro Archie Gemmill against Holland 1978.

[Ian Malcolm Helps @ianmalcolmhelps]

@xxChessMaster Promote to Queen or Rook, stalemate.
Promote to Knight, probable draw.
Promote to Bishop, White can force win, eg Black plays Bf7, Be7+ Ke8. Bxf7

[Ian Malcolm Helps @ianmalcolmhelps]

@GenTXer2 I like Flesh and Blood more.
My no.74. Chris Rea. Shamrock Diaries.

[Ian Malcolm Helps @ianmalcolmhelps]

@chess_feed If exd4 Kd3 and the Black Bishop cannot defend the h8 queening square.
Also if Bxd4, Kd3 e4 Kxd4 and the h pawn queens
