Isle of Man Documentary

Post by MJMcCready » Sat Nov 16, 2024 3:53 am

This just appeared on youtube. Im not in the UK but am assuming its accessible back home.

There are some interesting questions thrown up. I'd like to know who it was that was using morse code.

Yes it is very good. The best chess doc I've seen.

No idea about who was sending morse code by blinking. (win-king!). Arbiters will need to check to see if any player suffers from 'blepharospasm' - eyelid spasms that cause uncontrollable blinking.

Oh noo, Geoff , you opened up a can of worms there - when they read that we will end up having to wear those eye holders from a clockwork orange when playing chess now in case anyone is blinking morse code....
Any opinions expressed will not be held to account.

You've got to admit it is rather ingenious.
