More than a match
About
Chester Barnes was a prodigy, British Table Tennis men's champion aged 15, 16 and 17 in the 1960's, for a total of five championships from 1963 to 1974. He wrote this autobiography 'as told to Peter Madge' when he was 22. The story is interesting, and the playing advice, with the aid of stop-motion photos from a then-new camera, is first class. Barnes was one of the first to master the loop, an attacking forehand drive that is difficult to handle, and was impossible for his opponents.
