Tim was interviewed on 29 May about his new book on an award-winning programme 'Talking History' on the Irish independent radio station, Newstalk 106-108fm.
Newstalk have supplied us with a recording, so you can now listen to my interview here (MP3 file, size approx 2.9 MB).
Tim spoke about four aspects of his book Correspondence Chess in Britain and Ireland 1824-1987 during the interview:
The London-Edinburgh match of 1824-8;
Early chess matches by telegraph;
The career of Stanley Monck;
Frideswide Rowland & women in CC.
The presenter of this programme, Dr Patrick Geoghegan, is a senior lecturer in history at Trinity College Dublin and the author of a recent two-volume biography of Daniel O'Connell.
