Chess on the Rocks!
"The Rock" | |
Jimmy 'the grinder' Simpson in full catalogue pose. With a shocked looking Eric Schiller alongside, if the name rings a bell, you've probably read one of his 100+ books! Why was he shocked? Walton said, "I had just bollocked him for his book that missed a mate in one (a thick one giving a page to each opening!!) He was temporarily stunned." Notice England's No 1 and world No 9 Mickey Adams trying to get in on the action far left. Don't you just hate those 'glory hunters' | |
Simpson v Player 1-0 | Man of many talents, 'the grinder' tinkles the ivory's while simultaneously smoking a small tree! |
The Grand old man, Victor 'the terrible' Korchnoi about to face American hottie Irina Krush on Board 13. It was unlucky for him though, find out why here. | |
CW in action, he even finds time to play Sudoku during his games. (Its not really a Sudoku game) Its a marvellous device called a MonRoi its the future methinks have a look. | Jimmy playing another 'easy' opponent WGM Nana Dzagnidze from Georgia Elo 2463 about 233 ECF See what happened here. |
Mickey Adams on board 2 with the young American super-talent Hikaru Nakamura alongside. | |
Its tough at the top, its really hard 'forcing' all that food and drink down! | Walton, he must be on the top table as Peter Leko is opposite in the white shirt! (Its not really Leko) |
