Tony Miles Controversy
In 1985, Keene received £1,178 from the BCF for being Tony Miles's second at the Interzonal in Tunis. However, he had not actually been Miles' second but nevertheless accepted the money and shared it with Miles. Miles had initially agreed to this plan but eventually told the BCF about it in 1987. Two months later, Keene resigned his posts as BCF Publicity Director and FIDE delegate. Keene says that the resignation was for different reasons, that he was "furious" at his treatment after organising numerous events between 1983 and 1987.
