It's been quite some time since Merriman has spent any great length of time in the bar, but tonight he has a picked a table slightly out of the main traffic area in the bar. A glass of cognac, a folded newspaper and a chessboard are on the table in front of him.
The game in front of him is a fairly new one, with only a few pieces moved on either side. He's set aside the Times' chess problem in favour of puzzling out one of his own.
