TRANSKRYPCJA:
A Chess Champion
Philip’s cousin, Tom Grant from Edinburgh, is a keen chess player. The Grants all play chess, but Tom is quite exceptional. His father taught him the game when he was seven. That was eight years ago and now Tom is a far better player than his father. He is only fifteen years old, but he is already a champion. At the age of eleven he challenged and beat Bobby Crown, the American chess player, who now lives in England. A year later he joined the English junior chess team. The next year at the age of thirteen he became famous by beating the German chess champion, Erik Stein. This was when he became the world’s youngest international chess master – there are about five hundred of them. He now wants to become a grandmaster – there are only 150 chess grandmasters in the world. His great ambition is to challenge and to beat the present world champion, Charles Bond of Switzerland. “I’ll beat Bond in 1992”, he says.
Tom spends most of his free time playing chess, but he does not want to become a professional chess player. He’s going to be a mathematician. “Chess is only a hobby”, he says.
