i think somewhere (cannot be bothered looking) someone (from memory i think it was Gary )mentioned Lennox Lewis was a chess aficionado ... he wouldnt need to know much chess ... he would just knock them out and win

Jack Dempsey was a boxer who held the World Heavyweight Championship from 1919 to 1926.
He was also a checkerist who wrote the introduction to Learn Checkers Fast by Tom Wiswell.

Danny, Thats the way its always been from the start. Chess gets the fame on tv and on most things that has to result in stradegy. Ever hear the saying ( this is becoming a chess match). Try going to a book store and getting a checkers book besides the person saying back to you do you mean chess? You find out there is not one book but 50 books of Chess. Billy
