Hugh Miller interviews paragliding legend John Silvester in this archive article from 2008. At the time of the interview John was preparing to head off to the Karakoram for a unique tandem vol-biv adventure – the film of that trip became the legendary Birdman of the Karakoram
I’ve wanted to interview John for ages. Two reasons. Back in 1995, when I was 18, John gave me a ride around the European World Cup circuit in his knackered old Renault Master campervan, and became something of an uncle to me. My parents drove me to a rendezvous point on the way to Dover and patiently waited for John to show up. He’d bought the van for £300, and it’d already seen him round four seasons before he lumbered into the Essex services (at midnight – no road tax – less chance of getting done by the police).

Hybrid Chess: Feedback from the players
How did it feel to play hybrid chess? Okay was the most frequent answer on the Mitropacup questionnaire.
When Julia Novkovic realized that her opponent could checkmate her, something even more shocking happened. On the way to delivering checkmate on h7, the screen showed her opponent’s queen stopping a square short on h6. This didn’t only blunder the queen but also a checkmate on her own king. After the game, the Austrian player shared on Facebook her shame to have won in such a way after she had been outplayed fair and square. The least she could do now was to suggest that the game won’t be rated. Novkovic suggested that in a clearer state of mind she would have resigned after realizing that her opponent had mouse-sliped.
