Hi Vince and everyone else,
Well its just that you don't normally have matches like that except for the
exceptional players and at the time of the episode I was fairly heavily
involved in Junior chess in England and I didn't recognise her as an
exceptional player, I mean if the had had Harriet Hunt or Ruth Sheldon play
the part I would have recognised them as exceptional chess players. So I'm
guessing they got an actress to play the part, I am sure that she knew how
to play chess (I am pretty sure Fraz knew how to play chess) but she wasn't
(in my mind) a chess player.
It's hard to explain but I also found Colin's plan a little embarassing as a
chess player. I may, also, be wrong about her and she may actually have had
some success as a chess player but I doubt it.
Sorry it doesn't seem like I explained it very well, ça la vie.
Oliver
P.S. I again messed up and sent this as personal mail but I think it is
definetly on topic. Sorry, Vince for sending this twice to you.
