Woolgar: "And as he plays bad move after bad move I polish him off less than half-a-dozen moves. Checkmate! And it was over! Wild applause and cheering! Stewart Telford was a wily and tough opponent and there were times when it seemed to onlookers that the battle could have gone either way. In the end I felt the benefit of my training regime, which included a daily five mile run, two hours in the gym and an hour of chess. This helped me at the crucial time to recover quicker and maintain the clarity of focus that is so easily lost in the heat of battle.
What a fantastic buzz, and I as the founder of the GBCBO took the opportunity to award myself the title of UK Heavyweight ChessBoxing champion on the spot. Hopefully there will be no shortage of challengers over the coming months!" |
