Nigel Short as Top Gun

I wouldn't be blogging about this if Nigel Short himself had not posted it on his own Facebook account for all sundry to see. In case you are wondering what's this all about, it's better for you to ask the olive farmer himself. But he may tell you: "The less said about this photo the better."


Note: This was at the Fort Cornwallis in George Town and this "sometimes" chess player was in town for a few days. "Don't you have any pressing engagements in Greece, like making some extra virgin oil?" "Nah," he replied. So I took him around the island within the limited time on our hands. Funny thing was, during the whole of the trip, we chose to discuss not chess or olives but music!
