Norman Ellis Hill (SA's Chess champion in 1927,28/29,32,38,39) and his twin brother, <Bruce Jacque Hill> were by all accounts both outstanding chess players. They migrated to Australia from England at the age of 21 in 1894. They both spent time in SA and WA, (Norman was the WA champion in 1895) whilst working in the vineyards. Bruce moved on to NSW where he was a representative in Interstate competitions. The twins learned chess from a very young age playing against each other, one of them developed very advanced attacking styles, the other a more defensive style of play.
