Sep-09-04  WMD: <British GM who made a lot of money in the IT sector.>

Any hopes that Messrs. Norwood and Hennigan would become the sugar daddies of British chess didn't last long.

  Joshka: <whiskeyrebel> yes, just found out he has been writing with Short on the "Telegraph"...great writing style indeed!
Sep-05-05  aragorn69: Whatever happened to his column in the Telegraph? Cancelled right after Short's??

  ray keene: norwoods column was there last saturday-tho somewhat hard to follow. malcolm pein has replaced short on the sunday telegraph-chess is back -according to the paper irself-by popular demand-so for once chessplayers did use thier muscle to complain. they shd do the same with chess on tv!!
Sep-06-05  aragorn69: Thx for the prompt answer, Ray. I was however refering to the absence of any new Norwood article on the internet site http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/mai... . His last text there dates back form August 14th... However, I am glad his witty chess journalism is back at least in its printed form. Even though, I for one won't profit from it anymore since I don't live in Europe... ))-;
Sep-11-05  aragorn69: David Norwood's witty prose is back on the internet, with a few games from Ray Keene's "romantic" Staunton Memorial tournament: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/mai...
Jun-18-06  mack: There's a rumour on the English chess scene that David's planning a proper comeback any time soon.
Jun-18-06  WMD: Talking of which, Big Ron Atkinson is back doing football commentary, on UKTV G2.
Jun-18-06  mack: A long way away from Marcel Desailly in the BBC1 studio, it has to be said.
Jun-18-06  WMD: Yes, I think UKTV are broadcasting from a warehouse in London.
Jun-18-06  WMD: What is Ian Wright wearing?
Jun-18-06  mack: 'Wrighty' should really go back to presenting dull gameshows, he's wasted on the BBC.
Jun-18-06  WMD: Well, he helps make up the BBC quota of black faces.
Sep-25-06  haggai: Hi,

I hope I'm not intruding. In 1993 David Norwood and Jane Seymore published an article where they'd shown a position where Deep Thought could have play and draw, but unbelievably took the rook and lost. I'm looking for that position and was wondering if anybody can send me by mail the position of the aforementioned game. Thanks!

Sep-25-06  mojo93033: <Haggai> You can find that position by clicking here: http://www.fortunecity.com/emachine... Scroll down to the bottom and it's in the left red box.
Sep-26-06  haggai: Dear mojo93033, thank you very much!

Aug-03-12  Tal7777777: Hello Mr. Norwood! I am a fan of yours, and I have read two of your books. The titles of them are Chess Puzzles and Advanced chess.
Oct-03-12  xenophon: Was he born in Farnworth near Bolton? If so he was a near neighbour of Nigel Short in Atherton.

  waustad: He didn't play any FIDE rated games between 2002 and 2011. Since then he's played 5 in the May listing and 9 in September listing for 2 consecutive years. I the Andorra Open is the 9 game tourney it seems. http://ratings.fide.com/id.phtml?ev...
