The RHP 1000-1 shot + The Two Knights

This book got a recent mention in the Chess Forum.

There were tearful goodbyes in the Greenpawn household on the day I
packed him up and placed him in his box. Just look at those sad sad eyes.

RHP Christmas Quiz + Christmas Presents.

And so this is Christmas…

…and what presents did you get?

The challenge I set my mob this was something to do with Chess.
Not a chess book, not a chess set, not a chess a clock.

I got the usual men’s things....
