Re: Sir Patrick Moore
Sir Patrick (or Dr Patrick Moore as he then was) was generous enough to write the foreword to The Complete Chess Addict and played correspondence chess against Mike Fox.
He also provided this game for publication in the book.
There are several chess references in his autobiography.
