Jun-20-06    WMD: He lived near Clapham Common. Jun-20-06    WMD: He also won the 1931 Nice International tournament. Jan-04-08    Karpova: He and his son Alfred Maurice (Freddy) Reilly (1930 to 1980) were the editors/producers of the BCM from 1971 to 1980. Alfred's most notable chess writing was <Our First Hundred Years 1881-1980> published, posthumously, in 1980. http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... (C.N. 5371) Dec-12-08    brankat: More than an active chess player, although a good one, Mr.Brian P.Reilly distinguished himself as the General Editor of BCM. Thirty-two years! 1949-1981. R.I.P. Mr.Reilly. Dec-12-08    newzild: This guy was national champ aged 57 and 58? That has to be some kind of record. Dec-12-08    Bishoprick: I had a bullmastiff that won a "Best of Breed," competition , although she was the ugliest bullmastiff ever. She did it by being the only bullmastiff in the competition. Two time champion of Ireland? Couldn't have been too difficult. Dec-12-11    Caissanist: Probably the oldest national champion was Korchnoi, who won the Swiss championship in 2009 at age 78. Dec-12-11    Penguincw: Happy 110th birthday! Dec-12-11    brankat: R.I.P. Mr. Reilly. Mar-17-12    Penguincw: His birthday isn't exactly today, but his name relates to today (St. Patrick's Day). Aug-25-12    Dionysius1: Oi, <Bisho> Speaking as an Irishman, I take mild offence.
