IT seemed that former Australian chess champion Doug Hamilton appeared to be everywhere at once when playing simultaneous exhibition matches against Mount Martha Chess Club members last week.
Unfazed by the challenge, Hamilton was able to analyse the situation and gauge his next move as he went seamlessly from game to game. About 10 regular players took on the challenge at the Mount Martha House Community Centre, Monday 3 May.
Chess club members challenge each other to games and enjoy quality social time on Monday afternoons. The friendly club welcomes players of all ages and strengths.
