Sir, – I notice that this morning's Irish Times chess puzzle is number 13,000.
At a rate of six per week this represents over 41 years of daily puzzles.
Congratulations and thank you to your chess correspondent JJ Walsh for providing this daily mental stimulation to chess fans for so many years.
I remember that JJ (Jim) Walsh presented a weekly chess column in The Irish Times during the 1950s and 1960s. His endeavours must be some kind of record.
