I've just added you to my Technorati favorites, and will be linking to you in a little while.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for quoting a scene from Knight's Fork. Although it is not one of the chess playing scenes, the hero does go on to offer "Wouldn't you rather play chess? It's less damaging to the clothes."<BR/><BR/>I was one of 27 local "champions" who participated in an exhibition match at Sausmarez Manor in the early 1970s when Dr. Max Euwe defeated all of us simultaneously. He was a mathematical player, and quickly recognized classical games which the adults had memorized.<BR/><BR/>The children (two of us, representing the Ladies College and Elizabeth College) lasted for three hours because our games were unrecognizable.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>Rowena Cherry (real name, but not my maiden name)Rowena Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11839386556697211986noreply@blogger.com
