Congratulations to Alan Heath of Milton Keynes Chess Club, who last night on BBC 2 became the 2016 Mastermind Champion.
I only caught the last few minutes, where Alan won in a tie-break because he knew that the Manic Street Preachers were Welsh and the name of at least one lock on the Manchester Ship Canal. So I didn’t see whether his specialised subject was “Losing AgainstĀ Neil Hickman’s French Defence.”
