Michael Burt was my great chess playing friend at King's School, Chester. I hadn't seen him in 41 years. In my last year at King's he was board 3 and I was board 4. We met again at a reunion at The King's School. I bought a chess set with me in the car, as I hoped to play him again. I arrived slightly late, just after 10.30am. They were in the middle of a presentation about how the school had changed. We then had a tour of the school, followed by lunch with wine. I challenged Michael to a game. He was slightly reluctant to play as he didn't play much now, but he agreed. I offered to get my set from the car. He said he had spotted a set out in the tour of the school, so we went to that classroom and played with the set. The set was a bit odd, as both the white knights were other pieces with paper wrapped round them!
