Re: Chris Clegg
Barry, the competition format was four all-play-all sections whose winners entered a knockout stage. The semi-finals and finals were decided by two games for each match. John Nunn defeated Mike Healey in one semi-final while Gavin Wall beat Russell Granat in the other. Nunn won the final 2-0 although he looked to be in trouble in the following game before recovering to demonstrate his superior skill in rook and pawn endings.

Re: Chris Clegg
And here's the second final round game:
We should also thank Robin Haldane who recorded the moves in the final games.

What you needed John was a Giant Bishop!John McKenna wrote: At such close quarters my bishop continued to be a pedestrian prelate wandering aimlessly in the confines of the white tiles while the knight was hopping madly from black to white, and back, harrying my poor monarch into a hole in the ditch of the H-file.

Re: Chris Clegg
Thanks for pointing that out, Clive.
I think of that bishop of mine more as a redundant verger - let that be a lesson to me.

Re: Chris Clegg
It has come to our notice that there is a bench in Blakeney, Norfolk with a memorial plaque dedicated to Chris Clegg (1948-2015).
Photos: Stephen Moss
The bench is in front of the Blakeney Hotel on the quay. Its location can be found on the national benches database.
We were unaware of Chris's connection to Norfolk. We suspect it is related to his interest in ornithology.
If anybody knows how the plaque came to be there, please let us know.
As far as we were aware, there were no family members or ornithologists at his funeral.
The dates match our own Chris Clegg. Photos: Stephen Moss

Re: Chris Clegg
I suspect that is in memory of the only other Christopher Clegg whose death was registered in England or Wales in 2015 - Christopher William Clegg. His obituary mentions that he liked to sail his boat in Norfolk:

Re: Chris Clegg
I found the same webpage and agree with Jon. Strange to find two people with the same name and dates, though it happens with fairly common names.

See, for example here
In the well-known Birthday Problem, the solution is a surprisingly small value of 23.
