International Chess No.2 [second and last issue - no page numbers]: "England v Denmark - The Danish Chess Federation are celebrating their 150th year, and as part of the celebrations they invited an English team for a double-round match on 24-25th March. The English team made a fairly effective demolition job of their hosts in the first round, and accordingly settled back to enjoy themselves that evening... Their opponents, however, taking away their copies of "International Chess" (given as presents by the English team) came back much invigorated the next day... Perhaps a very good advert for the magazine? The reader is invited to judge for himself!"

No mention in BCM, CHESS or the Times. The 1979/80 BCF Yearbook (p73) had bare match scores.
