It takes real dexterity to become the champion of tiddlywinks: the game where you flick small disks into a central hole. There may be a North American Tiddlywinks Association but, as a traditional parlour game from Victorian England, the yanks are unlikely to win. Last year, Patrick Barrie won the Wimbledon of Tiddlywinks when he won the UK Tiddlywinks Singles Championship and beat his American nemesis, Larry Kahn, in a World Singles match. Barrie and Kahn have been in tense competition for the past 16 years but, until the next UK-US tiddlywink battle, Barrie holds the of tiddlywinks grandmaster.
