English Chess Forum

On the ECF membership list I spotted a Kevin Phillips-Bong, of the Slightly Silly club. He also exists on the grading database, though here the club is given as Colchester.

Is this perhaps a piece of test data that has somehow found its way onto the live database? Or has he finally abandoned his political career and taken up chess?

[For the benefit of those under the age of 50 who may not understand the reference, it concerns a character from an old Monty Python sketch]

On a related tangent, I saw recently that there is a National Bocialist Party page on Facebook

I await the pairing

Phillips-Bong, Kevin vs. Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel, Tarquin

Let us all hope that he joins FIDE !

Now that http://www.englishchess.org.uk/ecf-play ... ward-2017/ has been announced there is an opportunity to nominate a previously unheard of candidate.
