The Western Morning
News has one of the oldest chess columns in the country, having carried one,
almost continuously, since the 1880s. The first columnist was Edward
Winter-Wood, who wrote under the nom-de-plum 'Queen's Knight'. Over the past
half century, there have been just three columnists; J. E. Jones, originally
from Lichfield, Staffordshire, later of Totnes. He was followed by Ken
Bloodworth, who wrote the column for 37 years. He was recently succeeded by Bob
Jones, who runs Keverel Chess. The WMN management have kindly agreed to
allow their columns to be posted on this site, as a source of news of
westcountry chess. The column appears regularly in their Saturday
issue.
