Hi Richard

I hope you're keeping well, and Xmas preps are not getting the best of you!

The problem is given in The hand of DEO, prob. number 82.

I hope we'll get the chance to meet up in 2019 at a checkers event in the UK or elsewhere ; last time (& first actually) we 'bumped' into each other was '82 British in the elevator! Time flies...

Yes! On that occasion the 'Antiques Roadshow' was held downstairs one day - I chatted to Arthur Negus - and we moved upstairs. During my 2 games with Tom Landry he got through 40 cigarettes. He was awaiting news of the birth of a child and was particularly nervous; his hand hovered over each piece in turn, only to be removed at the vital moment as if it were a rattlesnake (to steal from Willie Ryan). By the end of the pairing I was a nervous wreck too.
