SIR,-1 write as a matter of some urgency to warn you that Quoodle is in danger of an action for defamation of chess character. Not from your un- fortunate correspondent who is licking his wounds and trying to think of good reasons. why Quoodle should not take on Philidor's column as well as his own. No, sir—Quoodle's danger is from Dr. Jonathan Penrose, who is the only living player (and, if only just, I am alive) to have won the British championship 'half a dozen times': for his sake and Quoodle's, I should therefore state that he's not me.
It is true that I have been British champion; when, and on how many occasions, I do not intend to reveal as in my present reduced circumstances I am more than ever anxious to preserve the anonymity of
PHILIDOR
