Not much new posting on this site lately, so this is a challenge for you.
Here are three games spanning several decades. Your challenge, if you chose to accept it, is to match the players “class” to the games. To make it easier I will tell you that there are only 4 different players in the 3 games and one of the 4 players is a famous GM, one is an Expert, one is a B class player and one is a C class player. It shouldn’t be too difficult. If you want you can also guess which decade the games were played in.
After I get a few guesses I will fill in the info.

So fill in the blanks with GM, E, B, C (and 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 00’s, 10’s)
Game 1 ½–½ White _____ Black _____ decade_____
Game 2 0-1 White _____ Black _____ decade_____
Game 3 0-1 White _____ Black _____ decade_____
