That's interesting news. How old is your newspaper ?

Richard used to work for Psion, of course, and wrote Psion Chess. Psion don't do
chess any more. They are now a leading vendor of handheld computers, the largest
in Europe.

I visited Psion a few years ago, early '95 I think. I asked about Richard. They
told me he doesn't work there any more, and that "he only wrote chess programs".
They said they could arrange a meeting if I wanted, so they knew where to find
him.

Maybe he returned.
