Googling English Chess Federation

Post by benedgell » Sun Nov 01, 2009 2:49 pm

Just googled English Chess Federation. The first result was indeed the home page, but just underneath was a message 'Show map of Rue Honore Daumier, 34670 Baillargues, France' Any idea what the significance is?

A quick check reveals that it's where Glenn Flear lives - it's on the ECF Accredited Coaches page. Not sure why Google picks it up and offers you a map, though.

If you google Rue Honore Daumier, 34670 Baillargues, you will find the address and phone number of the Lopez of Baillargues. If you trace their blood line, you will find it goes all the way back to a spanish priest by the name of Rodrigo López de Segura. This has been the most closely guarded secret of chess for centuries and it has just been blown open :shock:
