THE CHESS POSSE HITS BRISTOL

Peter Wells gives a simul in Bath

by Jerry Humphreys

Green Park station has not seen a train for many a year so we were in no danger of being run down as we sat on the site of the old buffers. It is now an indoor market with a Sainsbury's attached so a lot of unwitting shoppers were grabbed by the sight of a herd of chess players strutting their funky stuff. Some of them even joined in.

For the record, Pete beat everyone except for a loss to David Buckley but it was sporting of him to allow David into the field as he is quite a strong player!
