The Essex & Suffolk Border League was formed in 1950 and ran for twelve seasons. When it finished there were just five member clubs: Colchester, Chelmsford, Clacton, Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds. The North Essex Chess League was formed a couple of years after the Border League stopped and covered a smaller geographical area.
D Brown, with the Black pieces, is the Colchester player in the game below.

The moves Qd2 Rec8 were missing but make sense based on the subsequent moves
