Wonderful story, Jon, thank you. At least I got it a bit right and there was a chess connection!
I used to love chess and became interested decades ago while still in the UK. At the time, Nigel Short played Kasparov for the World Chess Championship. Although he lost, the match was a huge event in the UK and was shown on prime time TV. I even bought myself a chess computer (I still have it - this was before cheap computers and apps!) but never mastered the game. Just about all my good moves were by mistake...
