  An Englishman: Good Evening: For which school does Tattersall play? If the school colors include blue, that would make today’s title a brilliancy.

  perfidious: Was White sodden during this duel of honour?
Sep-28-20  razetime: Imagine doing Qxa7 and Qxb6 with nothing near your king. It looked pretty hopeless even before that, but come on!
Sep-28-20  schnarre: ...Ne3+ was insult to injury!
Sep-28-20  Brenin: Soddy was more successful away from the chess board: he won the 1921 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his work on radioactivity.

He cheated. That's physics.

Playing for Oxford or Cambridge can get you "a blue" so it fits.

Sep-28-20  Swedish Logician: <moodini> Cambridge is more liberal here. It awards a "HALF BLUE" for Chess (but not a full blue) to members that represent it in a match against Oxford. At Oxford, Chess does not even merit a half blue, but is "under review".

  MissScarlett: I wanted to <Rape Soddy>, so to speak, but this is a family website.
Sep-28-20  SlowBishop: <razetime> Position was completely hopeless already after 21. ... Re8. Queen or King is lost. If white prefer to save the queen the choice is between 22. Qa3, 22. Qb7 and 22. Qxa7. The first two moves have no sense at all. The queen can’t help the king anyway
Sep-28-20  carpovius: 2 patzers played :)
Sep-28-20  Brenin: Tattersall later published several books: A Thousand Chess Endings, The Carpets of Persia, A History of British Carpets, and Notes on Carpet-knotting and Weaving.
