Author Information

"When not writing, John Offord is a political campaigner. Firstly, to adopt the tried and successful jury system for selection of the cabinet, so 12 citizens chosen at random would replace the present cabinet, currently chosen by a tried and unsuccessful system. Secondly, to get Robert Louis Stevenson recognised as the founder of the EU. RLS is remembered for famously crossing Europe with a donkey. John's proudest achievement was winning a prize in the prestigious Sunday Times Chess Competition. The problem posed was: ""White appears to be in a commanding position but black has a surprising killer move. Can you see it?"" John gave the correct answer which was ""No"" and after some correspondence he was given the prize."
