"The Bristol Chess Club"

by <John Burt> *

http://www.chessit.co.uk/Centenary/...

(Book first published in 1883)

* [Burt] Entered the club in 1863 as a mere chess novice, having just previously learnt the moves. He made sufficient progress to be entitled, nine months after, to yield the odds of pawn and move to the club's treasurer in a handicap which they both entered, with success; much to his own satisfaction and his opponent's chagrin. Any proficiency that he attained in the mysteries of the game was acquired through the able tutorship of Withers, Thomson, and Matthews, all of whom took much pains to instruct him: the latter always averred that Mr. Burt's quick perception of the board and style of play, was very similar to that of Louis Charles Mahe De La Bourdonnais . Except when yielding large odds his full powers are rarely called into exercise. Mr. Burt retired from the club in 1882.

Thanks again for your invaluable help!

I have deleted the <James Burt> player page and transferred the games from there to here, the correct page.
