You do sometimes meet Challengers in the most unlikely places, don't you?

On Saturday, I was just taking my seat to play in the Bury St Edmund's Chess Congress (yes, I did win a prize ... but no, it was NOT enough for me to be able to stand everyone a drink at the Park ... ) when a lady approached me and asked "Are you the Jeremy Burrows who takes part in the TGO Challenge?"

I am sure I cannot be the only one to encounter other Challengers in unlikely situations ... so what are other people's experiences of chance meetings with other Challengers?

Well, funny you should say that..

I go to Scotland Quite a lot in May, and would you believe it? Every *****y year I meet the same bunch of people repeatedly. It's like I'm being followed. ;-)

And isn't amazing Andy that they are all lost as well!

10 years ago I was in that great pub in dullan in southern Irland, standing at the bar was a challenger small world,
