Jul-18-05    mack: Former Countdown finalist. Jul-18-05    WMD: He certainly proved better at rearranging letters than Jim Plaskett. Jul-18-05    mack: I can see a games collection coming on here - chess players who have been on TV gameshows. Plaskett, Turner, Hartston, Dlugt, Thurlow, um... and all the rest of them. Jul-18-05    mack: Dlugy* Jul-18-09    BoardLord: GM Turner became third in Arctic Chess Challenge 2008 and will participate in the 2009 edition in Tromsų, Norway as well. In connection with this I have written a profile of him that you can read at my blog Sjakkfantomet. It's in English. http://sjakkfantomet.blogg.no/12479... Dec-11-10    BobCrisp: <Postscript on the theme of overheard conversations At the recent, and last, <Lloyds Bank Masters>, I achieved my final IM norm and, having scored 2/4 against GM opposition, was well satisfied with my performance. The following conversation took place between GMs Mark Hebden and Patrick Wolff. <Hebden>: "Who've you just played?" <Wolff>: "Somebody called Turner." <Hebden>: "Oh, you played Matthew...he doesn't know much theory but can be tricky in the middle game." <Wolff>: "It's interesting you should say that." <Hebden>: "Why?" <Wolff>: "His opening was CRAP!!" At least I know where I stand in the grand order of things.> (November 1994, <CHESS> magazine) Dec-17-10    BIDMONFA: Matthew Turner TURNER, Matthew http://www.bidmonfa.com/turner_matt... _
