Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-24-14  optimal play: Only 1 game in the database, and a simul at that, but at least it's a win, and against as strong a player as Borislav Kostic!

This is possibly George Cockerill (1871–1943) journalist and author, from Bendigo, Victoria.

Jul-31-20  optimal play: That's a good find Graham!

He led quite a full and interesting life.

Known as 'The Thunderer'!?

Involved in Federation, rubbing elbows with our early prime ministers, media boss, author, only becoming an ardent chess player later in life.

Well, he has this one notable game.
