  GrahamClayton: 1888 British Amateur Champion.
Dec-01-10  DarthStapler: He must stay at hotels a lot
Jan-30-16  zanzibar: <WHOSE portrait we present, stands well to the fore in the ranks ot the strongest amateur players, and he is well known to the chessreading public through the medium of his popular chess-column in the Morning Post but his chief claim to rank as celebrity rests upon his having won the Amateur Championship Cup at Bradford in 1888. He was born in 1856, and about twenty years later was the happy recipient of Rook from Gunsberg and Blackburne respectively, and the lesser odds of Knight from W. N. Potter but this was only for short time, as he quickly proved too strong for such odds. Like many another first-class player he gained his best practice at Purssell's classic rooms, and at Crosby Hall in Bishopsgate Street. Much of his quickness in grasping difficult position and readiness of resource can be traced to the rapid play necessarily practised in the short time available for business man in the middle of the day. >
