  An Englishman: Good Evening: Thomas H. Piper seems to have been rather a decent player; clicking on the "Search Google" link above takes one to the website of a San Francisco, California chess club which mentions that he once defeated Blackburne. Anyone know if the score of this alleged game exists?
