I’ll have a consonant, a vowel, a consonant, another consonant, a vowel, another consonant. Another consonant, a vowel, and a final vowel please.
And what have you got? B-A-T-T-E-R-S-E-A!
Yes the club was mentioned on Channel 4’s tea-time favourite Countdown this week as Derek Harvey (ECF 133) showed off his words and numbers skills.
Derek came up against current Countdown champion Maggie.
He got an eight-letter word with “importer” and raised a laugh with his six-letter word “stoner”.
At the end, the show’s host Nick Hewer said he was sure Derek would receive a “round of applause and a drink” when he goes back to Battersea Chess Club.
So, well done Derek – and yes, a drink is on the way.
See how Derek got on here.
