Sad to see the BBC reporting the death of Tony Slattery. His chess sketch is the best and funniest ever.

I liked the punchline, but the rest left me cold. I guess perceptions of humour vary (and I didn't think the sketch was helped by the laughter track).

The other guy playing the Russian GM misses a simple move attacking his Queen and the fact his kingside can be ruined, but I guess it was for the average man on the street."When you see a good move, look for a better one!" - Lasker
