Ashley our Chess and Scrabble Pro - Have you met one?

We went out in the Free Taxi and picked up some incredibly interesting people. 

Ashley, is a Chess coach and professional Chess player.  We, personally, have never met a Chess player. We mean, seriously - have you? We were even more excited when he told us he is also a Western Province Scrabble player. We kid you not. Apparently, Chess wasn't doing it for him any more, so he 'recently' took up Scrabble. Furthermore, there is in fact a national Scrabble League which holds Scrabble tournaments, one of which Ashley actually won last week. How can nobody know about this? Probably because it happens in Pinelands. We imagine a heavy wooden door with one of those slidey face porthole things where you have to spell a really long word to get into a room full of people wearing dark glasses and sweating over their vowels and consonants.

Ashley invited us to check it out. However, everybody knows that Art Directors cannot spell and we would thus have to ask them to make a special exception for Chris, and to not laugh at him too much. Ashley has also agreed to teach us how to play Chess, a skill neither of us have ever managed to obtain. Chris might be good at Chess, though, because is is quite good at maths and can do long arithmetic in his head. We're definitely going to check out the Western Province Scrabble league.
