4NCL Hit by Petrol Crisis?

There's a 4NCL (British Team League) weekend coming up and Britain is in the grip of a petrol crisis (either that or it's a government ruse to take our minds off their half-witted budget measures, pensions rip-offs, NHS destruction and general mismanagement of the country).

Organiser of top-level chess events in Liverpool, Prof. David Robertson, wrote on his Facebook page: "Isn't there a sizeable risk that those who reach Hinckley Island on Saturday will be trapped there forever? Didn't Sartre write 'Huis Clos' with this in mind?"

A frightening thought. As Sartre might have written in similar circumstances, "l'enfer, c'est les autres joueurs d'echecs"...

Chess Links

Note that the old bcmchess.co.uk domain now points to www.chess.co.uk

If anyone is missing the chess links page, note that it can be found in two places;

One is at the main chess.co.uk site here: www.chess.co.uk/links.html

And also at my personal website, here: www.saund.co.uk/chesslinks.html
