Is there a movie about this player? Masssiveego 05:41, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is anyone going to re-write this so it is vaguely encyclopedic? (Goldmanuk (talk) 14:10, 18 January 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Or maybe it is better to leave this article as it is as a prime example how NOT to write a biographical article. It is only really a testament to how weak the standard of English chess was in the 1950s and 1960s that John Littlewood is considered notable at all. This is also reflected in the fact that his most notable game was a heroic LOSS. (86.147.128.218 (talk) 13:19, 22 July 2009 (UTC))[reply]

The article should still be rewritten. The present version could still be used as an example of how not to write biographical articles if appropriate.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 17:40, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
