F A Hill vs W Pollock, 1884 #################################
Bath 1884 Counties Chess Association Congress - Class I, Division 2. http://www.edochess.ca/tournaments/...
Start date: 28 July 1884
End date: 2 Aug. 1884
Notes:
Di Felice has 'R.C. Pierpoint' at this event but the Chess Player's Chronicle of 6 Aug. 1884 (p.61) has Rev. E.P. Pierpoint. The Bristol Mercury and Daily Post of 4 Aug. 1884 (p.8) indicates that Pollock and Fedden shared first and second prizes, with Loman third. Neither Gaige nor Di Felice mention any play-off matches, but the Morning Post of 6 Aug. 1884 (p.6) says that the three-way tie was played off, but it led to another tie, 'each player winning one game' and that the prizes were then divided between them. This division of the prizes is reiterated in the Bistol Mercury and Daily Post of 26 Feb. 1885 (p.6). Rowland (p.21) gives the result of a play-off game Pollock-Loman, won by Pollock, so I assume also wins by Loman against Fedden and Fedden against Pollock. Gaige and Di Felice give the end date as 1 Aug. 1884. The Morning Post of 6 Aug. 1884 (p.6) says that the event was finished the previous Saturday, which was 2 Aug. 1884, possibly the day on which the play-off games were conducted. =================

W Pollock / R Loman vs T Block, 1884 Biographical data
Name: Block, Theodore
Born: 1853
Died: 7 June 1909
Notes:
The year of birth is approximate. According to Gerard Killoran, the 1881 census says he was aged 28, so he was born in 1852 or 1853. Gaige gives date of deat as 7-06-1901, but Killoran gives clear evidence from news reports that he committed suicide on 7-06-1909. http://ilkleychess.blogspot.com/201... ===
