25 years of Matt

Yesterday the Daily Telegraph celebrated the 25th anniversary of their cartoonist, Matt. Since I have been reading the paper for more than 30 years (2), and since I always look at Matt, I have probably seen the vast majority of them.

Today's paper shows a dozen of the best. Below I show the two of the twelve which are on….chess. The first cartoon though is yesterday's cartoon.One regret (in my long list of regrets (1)) is that I wish I had taken copies of many of them, since so many were just perfect for what I was thinking or feeling, or what was otherwise current, at the time.

(1) I think I have a long list of regrets, but can't think of any which are other than trivial;

(2) First because of the chess column of the late Tony Miles, and for the last twenty or so years because of the chess column of my friend Malcolm Pein; and partly for the rest of its content.
