Chess and Coronation Street
Tonight's Coronation Street on ITV 8pm to 9pm is the end of the chess storyline where Sam faces his opponent in the Chess final.
My friend from York Chess Club, Noel Stewart, brought out a chess book the beginning of last year titled:
Chess: A Beginner's Guide.
A4 size, 258 pages.
Noel has informed me by text that his book will appear briefly in the episode.
Sorry for posting this late.

Off-topic, in Neighbours yesterday, Paul Robinson was so furious that he picked up his prized chess set, threw the pieces down and smarted smashing the board about.

That could be the title a new thread. 'Scenes from Films or TV Where a Chess Set Has Been Trashed.'
I noted a number years ago that if ever a chess set was in a scene it was there to be tipped over,

Re: Chess and Coronation Street
Not just chess sets are there to be trashed, computers tend to also be victims (although, let's face it, who has not thought about breaking chess engines...)

Lose one queen and it is a disaster, Lose 1000 queens and it is just a statistic.

The earliest one I can call to mind was in Yield To The Night, where Diana Dors was the one dashing the pieces to the floor (and calling chess "that stupid game", IIRC).Geoff Chandler wrote: ↑Sat Apr 09, 2022 4:50 pmThat could be the title a new thread.

The Devil Rides Out had a set on view in the Duke's sumptuous living-room, but it remained inviolate (despite having the board the wrong way round).

Re: Chess and Coronation Street
Keep us up to date if chess is back on Coronation Street. They treated the game reasonably well the last time I saw it.
