The world’s newest chess grand master, Ian Rogers, aged 25, does not believe in doing things by halves. That is why he took on 20 members of the Canterbury Chess Club — simultaneously. The Australian qualified for the title recently in Switzerland and has just come from the United States where he played on the chess circuit there. Rogers is on a two-week tour of New Zealand before flying back to Australia and the Australian championships in Sydney next month.
