David Attenborough and chess

Post by Christopher Kreuzer » Sat May 03, 2025 9:38 am

Inspired by reading the 99(!) tributes paid to David Attenborough to mark his birthday (99 today), I went looking for any chess connections.

The tributes:

Apparently Attenborough has also narrated a book on the Lewis chessmen.

Any other chess connections?
