Jan-02-05  Benzol: Is this Christopher Barclay Heath?
Jun-30-05  sneaky pete: <Benzol> No idea, but maybe this helps. In a newspaper clipping on the 1923 Southport Open Major (won by Alekhine) participant <Heath> is described as a "tough" amateur from Dundee. He scored 5 points from 11 games, so I imagine he was invited again in 1924 to play Rubinstein.

  MissScarlett: <Heath joined Dundee CC in 1899, and was active in club and national chess events until taking up an appointment in London in 1925, returning to his city of birth.>

The 1939 Register fills in his DOB - December 21st 1876. It also states he's a Minister of Religion in the Catholic Apostolic Church: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catho...

This might explain his presence - or mission - in Dundee: http://stmarymagdalenesdundee.org.u...

His father, Edward, was a major figure in the church until his death in 1929.
