This was the 4th edition of the successful Master game tournament; a competition organised to by televised by the BBC. For the second time, the field was international and for the last time, it was a fully knock-out format. It was the only time a Belgian participated in this tournament. O’Kelly, a rather old man by this point, was eliminated in the first round.

Full results and all games appear in [1]. I don’t really know the dates. [2] claims the games were played in August 1978, which seems plausible. However, at least some of the episodes were aired in 1979.
