APOLOGIES ~ It's 2011
It’s fairly clear that the KM Links Game tries to predict the Monday link words in the Herculis Crossword as set by Kate Mepham in the Daily Telegraph. Her predecessor was her father, Michael Mepham, who was a colossus in puzzles of all types. We began by trying to predict Michael’s link words and I had the idea of scoring each person’s attempts and producing a monthly league table. Sadly, Michael died suddenly on 15 December 2006, which is when the MM Links Game took on its present form. Shortly afterwards, his daughter Kate re-introduced the Herculis format and it was decided that we could run both games, MM Links and KM Links. The new scorer to volunteer to run the KM links was seekeerz and both have been running for well over four years ~ virtually without a break (thanks to a handful of excellent helpers).
