I wasn't worried about them. I was actually excited to see who my my opponent would be. Some of them were very cocky, trying to show that they were so good but I was better than them.
Q: You taught them a lesson?
Yes.
Q: What was your final score?
14 out of 15. I came second.
Q: How many wins and draws was that?
I won four and drew one. They stopped one game just before I was going to take his rook and I would have won. That would have been five wins.
Q: Four wins and one draw is excellent by anyone's standards. I understand you won something at the tournament. What was it?
I won a silver medal, which I'm wearing now!
Q: Did you get to see the World Champions in action?
Well...we missed them, but Caitlin stayed to watch.
Q: Caitlin showed great dedication.
Yes, but she missed going to Five Guys.
(Captain Caitlin: 'I don't care!')
Five Guys is the best!
Q: Anyway, never mind about Five Guys. What else about the London expedition stuck in your mind?
It was fun all the time. We played tig, my sister set a croissant on fire...Oh! And the theatre was class.
Q: Do you go the theatre often?
Yes.

Q: What else have you seen at the theatre?
I've seen Cinderella, and all this girly stuff...because my Dad keeps getting free tickets from work.
Q: Do you feel you are a stronger player following the London games?
Every time I play chess I feel I'm a stronger player.
Q: Did you enjoy playing people you didn't know?
Yes. Some people asked me where I was from. They had no clue! I told them - Teesside.
Q: And they had no idea where that was?
Nope! They had no idea.
Q: Well, they sure know where it is now. If you had the chance to go to London again to play chess, would you take it?
Definitely!
