{The score of this short game (in descriptive notation) looks suspicious to
say the least as at least three of the moves are serious errors. JS} 1. e4 e6
2. g3 ({In his old age (he was 78 when he played this game) Cole developed a
penchant for offbeat lines and had previously tried} 2. b3 {in another
tournament game in 1950. I should add that Heneage was also in his 70s when
the game was played.}) 2... d5 3. Bg2 Nd7 {A strange choice since White could
now take a free pawn on d5. But he doesn't do so.} 4. d4 Ngf6 {The score just
gives 4...'Kt KB3'.} ({It's a long shot, but I wonder if Black may have played
} 4... Ne7 {('Kt K7') here, despite the ambiguous move recorded. The rest of
the score would then make more sense, albeit only slightly:} 5. Nc3 c5 6. Qe2
dxe4 ({the reply} 6... cxd4 {is still good but now arguably less lethal than
in the game as} 7. Nb5 {offers counterplay}) 7. Bxe4 {This is now more natural
than in the game since it can't be captured by a knight.} Nd5 $4 {Still an
horrendous blunder but players are forgiven one such oversight in a game,
particularly if they are over 70 (I'm within months of attaining that age
myself).} 8. Bxd5 {1-0. Unconvinced? No, neither am I.}) 5. Nc3 c5 {The score
gives 'P QB4' here though only one BP can move, which is perhaps a sign that,
on the previous turn, a piece may not have gone to f6 after all and thus
obstructed the f-pawn.} 6. Qe2 {This is the point where my game inputter's
instinct tells me there must be something wrong with the score of this game.
This is just so horribly anti-positional and I find it hard to believe a
player of Cole's ability would have played it.} dxe4 ({What did Cole have in
mind after} 6... cxd4 {, I wonder. And why wouldn't Black have played it? My
every instinct screams 'defective score'. Knight moves make no sense, and} 7.
exd5 dxc3 8. dxe6 {is easily rebuffed.}) 7. Bxe4 {This feels equally
implausible. Capture with the knight is both more natural and much better.} Nd5
(7... cxd4 {now is arguably more decisive than on the previous move. Even a
rank beginner could be expected to find it. Of the move played, words fail me..
.}) 8. Bxd5 {Source: H H Cole. Contributed by Brian Denman, 6 June 2022. Brian
has shown me the score which I may as well reproduce here: 1 PK4 PK3 2 PKKt3
PQ4 3 BKt2 KtQ2 4 PQ4 KtKB3 5 KtQB3 PQB4 6 QK2 QPxP 7 BxP KtQ4 8 BxKt Resigns.
It is clearly written, with one slight pecularity in that the 'Q' of White's
move 6 is written over what looks like an original 'K'. This opens up the
possibility of 6 Nge2 but then resignation after 7 Bxd5 would be a trifle
premature. I therefore adjudicate this game 'defective score'! I'd be
interested in attempts to reconstruct.} 1-0
