      Yes, thanks to Erik for spotting and correcting my typo.

      This game is: Peter Marshall vs John Hall, Ontario Junior Championship, Kingston 1994, round 2. Both players, rated in the 2100s at the time of the game, went on to reach the National Master level. John, from the Toronto area, finished second to NM (now IM, England) Jonathan Parker in the tournament. Peter, from Ottawa, is a few years younger, and was also eligible for the Ontario Cadet Championship, which was held in Kingston a month later, and he won that event. Both of these Kingston events were organized by Matthew Struthers, then in his first year at Queen's University, and serving as the Ontario Youth Coordinator. I was the Assistant TD for both events.
