Jul-24-05 | | Anatooly Homedepotov: Judge Alexander Beaufort Meek, born 1814 in Columbia, South Carolina; President of the First American Chess Congress. He moved to Alabama as an infant, and became a political figure and judge who helped promote public education in that state. Poor guy must have really had to compensate for his wimpy surname with some ugly decisions from the bench! |

 | | wwall: I don't think he died on Nov 30, 1865. The Nov 7, 1865 issue of The New York Times said he "died recently in Columbus, Mississippi." They got their news from a New Orleans newspaper dated Nov 4, 1865. My guess is that he died on October 30, 1865. |

Am I mistaken in thinking this is the Judge A.B. Meek who was instrumental in inventing the Göring Gambit? ∞ |

 | | MissScarlett: The <New York Daily Tribune> of October 7th, p.5. in its report of the opening day of the 1857 Congress, called Meek, who assumed the Presidency of the Committee of Management, <a splendid specimen of a man, six feet four in his stockings.> How big he would have been in his wife's stockings is anyone's guess. |
