Robert Plant beaten by teenager in surprise chess matchRobert Plant may be good at writing folkish Americana tunes, but he isn’t quite so good at playing chess. The former Led Zeppelin member made a surprise appearance at a junior chess charity tournament in Bewdley, Worcestershire, on August 1st. “I’ve been a fan of Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin for many, many years. My mum and sister like him as well,” Walker shared incredulously. The teenager went on to admit that he was “shocked at first because he is one of my favourite music artists… seeing him there was shocking.”
