Never seen anything quite like it.
The speed of Jacob in making moves and playing good chess
was unbelievable. Spending something like three - four seconds at each board and then moving on. (very frightening if you were in the queue
waiting to play him). In a lot of cases Jacob's reply was instant.
The figures quoted by John speak for themselves.
I left at 2 o'clock and they were still putting their names down
to play him.
The non-chess public who were there to visit the museum were
awe struck. Chess will be getting spoken about in some pubs and
houses tonight where chess was never mentioned before.
Wonderful to see. I'll be doing a C.C. on it with games and pics.
I'll most likely have it posted at midnight.
Well done Jacob & John (and all the behind scenes people). |
