No, at home. All the males did chess over at least three generations so I could play a bit before I went - certainly well before the Upper 4th (15). The one intellectual pursuit at which I appeared in the upper quartile rather than the sub bottom one (until I was allowed to learn science anyway - not then taught at all at Prep Schools, not even in Latin. Omitting science from my education until the age of 13 was certainly, for me, deprivation). Mind you we did have a Torquil with a brother Angus, my contemporary. Can't remember if either played.
