Maybe he just chess-'sharked' a lot of Oxford undergraduates who have more money than sense. I'd guess that he probably played for Oxford and I'd bet he was the faculty advisor for the Berkeley chess club as well.Originally posted by Artemis-Neith View PostI'm not sure whether it is possible to earn money with playing chess. The time I played activly, some 20 years ago
, it wouldn't be possibly, at least not in Germany, unless you're a professional. And, to be a professional you have to spend all you're time playing chess. It's a lot of work, reading books, training games, learn quite a lot of standart openings, middlegames and endgames. You don't have time for anything else. But I'm not sure, I don't know the customs in Great Britain here.
I wonder if he did some carpentry or building work as well. Those chess pieces he was carving looked very well done. He's definitely got some talent and experience working wood.Comment

chess-'sharked': nice word, I think I get the meaningOriginally posted by ladypredator View Post
If he played it's more than likely that he played the 1 place in line (what I mean is: when you play as a group against another group, let's say you have 4 players in each group, you arrange your players for their abilities, 1. your champion, 2. your second champion, and so on... I can't find the correct english word for that 
)
Carpentry or any kind of building work might not be out of his possibilities.

RC did building/painting. In fact, it was his experience in building work that got him the role in the movie "Riff Raff." I have this tendency to coopt RC's background for Rush's, when we're not given explicit history for the character.Comment

Got it, finally, it's called 1. board!Originally posted by ladypredator View Post
In this case it seems a good idea to include RC's background to that of Rush, because I got the impression, like you, that Carlyle played him based on his own background, it seems a nearby thought for me, your approach will work, I think.Comment
