 Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2007 12:35 pm Post subject: John Watson Chess & Book Show |
 |
|
The John Watson Chess & Book Show on ICC Chess.FM. Each Tuesday at 21:00 Server Time, John's 90+ minute show will review the latest titles, followed by a discussion of books and other chess topics with his guests.
John's special guest this week (21 August) is Dutch Grandmaster Hans Ree. A four-time champion of the Netherlands, Hans is now a more recognizable figure as one of the game's great writers. He's a columnist and chess writer for the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelblad and also a contributer to the award-winning chess magazine New In Chess.
Hans has written many books, though mainly in Dutch, but has written one book in English, The Human Comedy of Chess: A Grandmaster's Chronicles, based on a collection of his insightful articles that delve into the history of the game and its personalities.
This show is one not to be missed and will be made available for 7 days ONDemand for members. |

I suppose we're all supposed to know what that means...where is their Server? Is it by any chance somewhere in the 'colonies' such as in the so-called United States of America? In which case we need to know in which time zone it is, and how that differs from BST (is that GMT+1 or -1?). Just tell us when it's on, Geoff, in 'our' time...
(P.S. when did you get to be a 'King' ? It seems like only yesterday you were going to be a 'Queen' - when did you have the 'operation' - and did it hurt? I sincerely hope so...) |

Server time = New York time, which is 5 hours behind us so 21.00 server time is a very convenient 2am!!
Cheers,

No point in asking me.
I get emailed these things and am asked to post them on the
notice board - I'll ask the sender to be more specific.
I'll tell him I'm dealing with thicko's.
I am a King! - never noticed - what's next?
a GM King. |
