Mar-09-05    PaulKeres: Is this the Richard Eales that wrote the chess book about the History of Chess, and is a History lecturer at Kent University? Mar-09-05    PaulKeres: The book he wrote, I believe, is... <Chess: the history of a game, Hardinge Simpole, 2002 (replaces earlier edition, Batsford, 1985).> Mar-09-05    ray keene: yes-he has now retired-his other main book is the history of cambrdige chess Mar-09-05    PaulKeres: Thanks Ray for clearing that up. I'm actually a PhD student at the University of Kent at the moment, but in Maths and not history. So he has retired as a history lecturer? He actually goes to the same chess club as me, and I have had the honour to play (and get soundly beaten by) him a few times. However, he never comes to the chess club as such, but only to graded games. However I did notice, he has not been playing in even the graded games so much recently.
