Pop quiz, Hotshot: what was Martin Clunes's first television appearance?
was it on a soap advert as a 5 year old or something like that?
Reggie Perin, and Reggie Perin's Guide to Chess?
Reggie Perin was the new programme...
Step 1 relates to the original Reggie - or rather who played him.
Who played him at chess?
Leonard Rossiter - Philip Rossiter?
The original Reggie Perrin was played by Leonard Rossiter.....who played a character called Smyslov in A Space Odyssey.......so, a new book of Smyslov's games maybe?
Our second anonymous friend has it ...
but now I look up the link I see that it was New in Chess producing the book not Quality chess.
Oops sorry about that.
Anyway, NIC have just released a book on the Botvinnik-Smyslov" World Championship matches.
- JB
... the third step being Smyslov played Botvinnk in three world championship matches.
The fourth step being I nearly put my fist through the screen having spent quite a lot of time I didn't have perusing the Quality Chess website.
I even started wondering whether CJ de Mooi had written something for them.
Sorry again EJH.
I didn't get where I am today without making the odd careless blunder I'm afraid.
Cock-up on the publisher information front I'm afraid
