May-17-09		myschkin: . . . Georges Emile Barbier (1844 - 1895) spent much of his life as a French teacher, first in Yorkshire and then in Scotland. For many years he edited a chess column in the Glasgow Weekly Citizen. He was highly regarded both as a player and problem composer, and he was an active member of Glasgow Chess Club. A few weeks before his death he had gone to France in the hope of improving his health. http://www.chessscotland.com/histor...
