Excellent use of that clause!

Blakus picked the exact player I wanted with the exact clause I was planning to use. Need to rethink this. Hold on, I'll make my pick in a few.

Is there an easy way to see the features that Fred wrote (without all the others)?

I spent a fair number of hours looking through heaps of articles and it was hard to keep track of who was available. I had a list of players he wrote about but managed to lose this list so I decided to get that clause out of the way first.

The trouble with fredfertang's articles is that they're fairly tempting to read so I tend to waste time actually reading some of them without continuing with my search.

My only hope is that others spend just as much time as I did. So no shortcuts for you ****s imo.

Oh go on then. His articles are written under the pseudonym 'Martin Chandler'. And the best way to find them all is to view all threads started by fredfertang.

I pick Len Hutton, who played against Vijay Merchant.

We're going to have to veto the Tangy article clause, there just aren't enough players. Any idea of how you want to replace it, Howe?

Don't have my cheat sheet in front of me, but from memory there are loads of Martin Chandler biographies. Maybe >25 Bronze-Silver-Gold Tier players. Certainly easier than the Merchant or Debut clause. Michael must have a wicked sense of humour.

I am happy to post the entire list of players when I get home this evening.
