It is not immediately
evident what women’s teams there were in the Over 50s other than
England, but they achieved some good results against some men’s terams. “USA
5 Brothers” (not the main USA team) was oddly named as there were only four
of them: Krishan, Ramesh, Nafresh and Suresh Jhunjhnuwala. Maybe a fifth
brother was a non-playing reserve.
No current Yorkshire
players were evident, though Nigel Povah is ex Leeds University, while
Charlie Higgie on board 1 for Wales Cymru is ex Sheffield University, and of course
Nigel Short learnt to play chess in Sheffield while his father was for a
while employed there.
