Welcome to Dear Ken, an agony uncle for those in need of advice.

Dear Ken, thank you for your advice column for troubled chess players. If I may ask for your help with a current issue please.

At our club there’s this guy who comes and always wears the same clothes. And I swear he never takes a bath because the smell he has is shocking. No one likes him and no one talks to him. I don’t talk to him but I don’t dislike him, I just want to keep my distance.

Last week he caused real trouble. We were away to The Bedford Massive, and one of their players went to his car during the match and got a baseball bat. He then came in, went up to the guy who doesn’t wash and smacked him round the head with it during his game! Things got ugly, they weren’t happy. They got some proppa gangsters in that outfit and some hardened criminals. They said next time they are bringing shooters, and they meant it. I don’t want anymore trouble. What should I do?

KEN: ah well, best thing you can do is take shooters yourself, then you could have a good one gun fight during your next match with the Bedford Massive, liven the match up a bit. Simple.

So Ken, your saying I should carry shooters on match nights?

KEN: Yes.
