It was a very long time ago (July 30.2019 to be specific) that the first - indeed only - contribution to the KCC Blog on this topic occurred. For those whose memory isn't what it used to be, here is the station that prompted the initial post.

| Some people might say I'm cheating, but everyone in the chess world knows who Gata is, so no surname is needed! |
Gata is a small town somewhere slightly inland between Calp and Denia, south of Javier's old home city of Valencia. But don't take my word for it. Here's a map!
Wikipedia tells me that it has an "unusually large number of bars and restaurants per capita." Sounds like my kind of town! And, spookily, that it is known for its wicker industry - doubtless connected to Kevin of that name, once a well known openings' analyst. Who I drew with, from a position of strength, in the London League in 1988. Everything's connected in this wonderful chess world of ours!
