Hi Skeets.

Cracked it.
(this was like one of SG's problems).

Marchduel is obvioulsy Tournament 11358

Chess is a board game.

On what board game do you find Fenchurch Station?

Monopoly.

So look for the player whose nick sounds like a Monopoly street name.

One of the Monopoly playing pieces is a hat. (a top hat...a toff's hat)

So look for the player whose nick is also a type of hat.
(Google the most obvious choice.)

And there you have your two players.

🙂

Am I good or am I good?

The word genius is often banded about in a light hearted manner but it is
plainly obvious only me and Adam Einstein deserve to be called a genius.

Nope, still not getting it. I now know that Calexico is a place in America and that's about it. Nothing stands out as being similar to Old Kent Road, Bond Street or Trafalgar Square and nothing looks remotely like any kind of headgear.

As the lady said, humph!

Strictly speaking, it's Fenchurch *Street* station. So called, as it's just off Fenchurch Street. I only know as I spend way too much time there.

Edit - I think I have the monopoly-esque handle, but not the hat.

Is that real money or Monopoly money?

Given time I could have matched up any players from that list.

Even you!

A Skeeter is a type of boat and there is a boat playing piece in Monopoly.

(stand by for Skeeter is really the old boot jokes...) 😉

I just went along with the obvious coincidence.
(I've never looked at the lads games so am open-minded here).

I would have stayed onboard. I love trains.
Steam trains that is (hate electric trains).

At least once a year I get a dieseler to Fort William so I can
go on steamer from Fort William to Malliag.

It crosses the Harry Potter Bridge.

And of course there is a character in the Harry Potter series called
Rita Skeeter.

Yeah, managed to figure that one out about an hour ago. Still can't find anything remotely hat-like.
