Hartlepuddlian Hero?
Bryan Hesler does not really choke chimps - but he has triumphed in the Christmas Challenge this year. Details below. Well done Bryan !!
Some say that most of Bryan's wins were swindles in time-trouble - SORRY! - "hard-fought endgames".
But this one wasn't! (sorry Ed!) ...
Bryan (the old bloke on the right) - looking forward to the beautiful cake-prize, that was generously made and donated by Debbie Greep (and her assistant - Stephen)
