(born May-05-1883, died Jul-31-1961, 78 years old) Canada (federation/nationality United Kingdom)

[what is this?]

Herbert Jennings Rose was born in Orillia, Ontario, north of Toronto. He attended McGill University, and was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship. Studying at Balliol College, Oxford, he was a member of the university chess team playing in four Varsity matches, and against Capablanca in a cable match.

Rose went on to become a professor of Latin and Greek, authoring the standard textbook <A Handbook of Greek Mythology> in 1928.

A different (H. J.)1 Rose was Toronto Champion in 1879.

  GrahamClayton: Herbert Jennings Rose (1883-1961) attended McGill University, and was the author of "A Handbook of Greek Mythology" in 1928, which became a standard work on the subject.
Nov-12-11  brankat: If H.J.Rose had been born in 1883, then it must have been another Rose who won Toronto championship in 1879.

Btw, an interesting game against Capablanca. Mr.Rose should have won it.

  Phony Benoni: <GrahamClayton>'s information on Herbert Jennings Rose can be verified here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._J._....

I submitted the game, which originally appeared in the <American Chess Bulletin> for May, 1907. Only the initials "H.J." appear, but the fact that he played for Oxford matches the Wikipedia biography.

Since the latter Jennings was born in a town about 85 miles north of Toronto, it's not impossible that he was related to the Toronto Champion. But the bio obviously does not fit him.

Nov-12-11  brankat: Wow, this was quick <PB> :-) Well done!
Nov-18-12  waapaprof: The "other" Rose could be HJR's father, Rev Samule P Rose. I didn't know that he played, but why not? He was from Orillia, Ontario. HJR was a Rhodes scholar to Oxford, and I have a photo of him, posed with the other members of the chess team. He was later Associate Prof at McGill.
Nov-18-12  waapaprof: That'd be *Samuel*
