"This is what happened to us when Scott freeman said some nice remarks about Peter being normal pleasant etc. it was cut out because it did not suit the story line :wink:

Tonight we celebrate as Peter got 3 A in his A levels for the first year.I am sure your all be pleased to hear that news lol."

According to the FIDE website she has only ever played one FIDE rated event. Her ECF category A grade is therefore a more reliable indicator. Having lost to her at a recent congress, I can verify that!

You also did not make a song and dance about being filmed playing Peter plus did not boast about winning the game.If i remember you also looked though the game with Peter. Did both of you also not have to keep repeating the end of the game for the flim crew?

Yes we are very pleased with Peter A level results he wants to go on and do a maths degree.
when you are successful many losers bark at you.

A fine choice. I did a maths degree, and now look at me.

Oh, wait. No, you probably want to look at someone else.

Yes - poor Peter had to replay the end of the game about 5 times so they could film from different angles. I was really impressed that he put up with that.

When filming, they want to get what they want without consideration of the person they are filming.
