It's you?!?

Oh, hang on, late 1960s? I thought you said late 1990s. My mistake...

Was Bill Hartston at the Candidates Tournament? I thought I saw him, though there were so many chess IMs and GMs and journalists and assorted others around that it was hard to move an inch without falling over someone you recognised, and that was even before seeing team-mates and people I knew there. I think I even saw Kirsan there again on the last day.

Does the system work?

[David Robertson]

No

[Simon Brown]

My system works better. And I won £600

Does the system work?

Yes.
