No chess, only cricket

 The last few days have been spent watching cricket, at Scarborough and various village grounds in Yorkshire. I've had a number of interesting conversations (including with the father in law of the current Central Coast Mariners manager), but very few about chess. Nonetheless it has all been very relaxed and calm, almost in the same way that a weekend chess tournament might be.

For cricket historians, the Scarborough ground was the venue for Sir Donald Bradman's last game played in England. He scored a century, although the game finished in a draw.
