1990 K v K match the blurb says, talking about Ray himself: "Recently he played a key role in a celebrated murder investigation by solving a chess-like problem for the police." Now just what the Sam Hill is all that about? Alan -- Work like the ponies in coalmines. Dance like the teardrop explodes. Love like you're Frank in Blue Velvet. Sing as though your little throat would burst. |

Here is some more info, from Chess Monthly in November 1990 (and reprinted in Forbes's Meet The Masters): "The publicity in this case", declared GM Keene, speaking of his recent involvement as a code-breaking sleuth in a sensational murder hunt, "has increased the perception in the public mind of chess players as people with superhuman intelligence, which does nothing but good for chess." "It was immense. I gave about 45 interviews to newspapers, magazines, television and radio. It was on Sky TV, ITN, CBS and CNN in the US, and CBC in Canada. I've had calls from Australia, New Zealand, France and Italy. It was on the front page of the Times and the Sunday Times for 4 days running. There was almost a full page in the Daily Mail, a large article in the Sun...absolutely endless. I did nothing but give interviews last week." (No body has yet been found and nobody prosecuted -Cathy Forbes). |
