Photographer Gary Sissons used multiple images to produce this shot of chess master Doug Hamilton making his moves with members of Mount Martha Chess Club.
A master at making the right moves IT seemed that former Australian chess champion Doug Hamilton appeared be everywhere at once when he playing simultaneous exhibition matches against Mount Martha Chess Club members last week.
Unphased by the challenge, Hamilton was able to analyse the situation and gauge his next move as he went seamlessly from game to game. About 10 regular players took on the challenge at the Mount Martha House
Community Centre, Monday 3 May. Chess club members challenge each other to games and enjoy quality social time on Monday afternoons. The friendly club welcomes players of all ages and strengths.
