Editorial comments: 1730-1800 MT visited a local school whose chess team had won a place in the British Chess Finals. She admitted that she did not know how to play the game. "I have several very nice chess sets including one they gave me in the Soviet Union but I am afraid I don’t know how to play. Denis knows, but for the time being some of you will have to show me" (Finchley Times, 21 April 1988).
