English Chess Forum

Found a few photos potentially worthy of captions to share with the Forum Kindly keep your submissions pleasant!

My other excuse for this thread is in the hope to locate a gentleman I met on the second last day of the championships (he was not playing in any of the afternoon events) who sported a Canon 5D mkII and a beautiful 85mm f/1.2L lens. We exchanged a few words and we were to exchange by e-mail a few photos taken at the event but unfortunately I got too caught up in my game and didn't go back to get his name or contact details! Would anybody have an idea as to who this might be?

Maybe Mark Huba? Here is a link to a picture of him: https://picasaweb.google.com/bpogorman/ ... 2440682946 (also bottom of this page).

John - have a look at the photos on the British Championship Flickr page as it might be one of them. Or it could be Ray Morris-Hill (google him!).

That was my first port of call; I know Ray from taking photos with him at the Classic; it wasn't him.

I think it could possibly be although embarrassingly I can't say for sure! Do you have his contact details in which case I'll attempt to see if my memory has once again failed me? (Must be all that chess!)

I think this thread could find it self repeating, not sure that last comment Nevil made should be there....

Some what of a inappropriate caption bearing in mind the last few days of media attention!

"CJ, your first question on politics..."

"Sniper Snipped by Nipper" suggested earlier, but in view of the opening "White to play and win". Wadsworth-Storey 1-0
