A few months ago, on 20 December 2003, David Norwood offered a chess
trivia quiz in his column for The Telegraph. According to an account
at http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=1373, a follow-up
column with the answers was set to run one week later. But this
subsequent column was never published. I have checked the on-line
archive for all of The Telegraph's chess columnists (Pein, Norwood,
and Short), and there is no mention of this quiz following its initial
publication.

A friend of mine says that the 20 December column was "a joke" and
that Norwood was not really offering the quiz in a serious light. I
suppose this is possible, but I do not detect any hint of this myself.
Does anyone know if a follow-up column to this quiz was ever
published? Is it possible that such a column was prevented from
appearing in the on-line version of The Telegraph for some reason, so
that only print readers had access to it?

Sincerely,

The answers were definitely published. Perhaps because it was so close to
Xmas (27 Dec gave the answers) that particular copy maybe never got scanned
onto the net. It was most definitely not a joke.
