...well worth watching if you haven't seen it.
I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all.

Keep a listen out for the mention of Kasparov. When I saw the film at the Sinquefield Cup 2016 in St Louis, Kasparov himself was in the audience.

Much was made of the fact that she was awarded the Woman Candidate Master title.
I introduced that title and the regulations regarding it.
Jovanka Houska told me she had talked to the Ugandan.

I'm looking forward to watching the film. I recorded it on my hard drive when it was on BBC2.
I was pleased it was shown on BBC2.
I've been trying to get the film on DVD, however when I spoke to a member of staff in HMV last year , they informed me Disney had not released the film on DVD in Europe.
