| May-24-14 | | ljfyffe: Phillips edited the chess column in the Week, a Toronto publication. He and his brother Arthur played in a simul against Zukertort in Toronto, 1884. 30 played, Zukertort lost 2 but won against both the Phillips. Charles drew Zukertort in a blindfold match that lasted until 3:30 a.m. |
|
| May-24-14 | | ljfyffe: Re ericlgame's comment. Arthur Phillips, the younger brother of Charles, was 16 years old when he acted as caller for Zukertort in 1884. So Charles could have been as young as 59 when he played the 1926 tournament, notwithstanding the Milk of Magnesia. |

lists CW Phillips as one of the correspondence players in the newspaper's No. 2 tournament. |

| Jan-19-22 | | Z truth 000000001: Pretty much positive this is Charles W. Phillips, born England (1860-12-19), died Chicago (1938-01-08), buried in Evanston ILL. His occupation was listed as "court reporter".
The following photo (hope link works) is higher res, but seems to match <phony>'s photo - a distinguished gent with glasses + mustache. https://images.chicagohistory.org/c... . |

Charles William Phillips
December 19, 1860 - January 05, 1938
Brooklyn Eagle, Brooklyn, New York, Saturday, January 02, 1904
"Charles William Phillips of Chicago and Harold M. Phillips of New York are two of America's foremost chess players. The former is the present champion of the State of Illinois. The latter is champion of the Manhattan Chess Club.
Though of the same family name, they are not even remotely related. Both learned chess at the age of 17 and at college. The New Yorker possibly possesses the prouder title, but his namesake of the Windy City is a man of wider experience, especially so in the realm of correspondence chess, in which he is the acknowledged champion.
Both are unfortunately barred from participation in the international cable matches with Great Britain under the nativity clause in the deed of gift of the Newnes trophy.
C. W. Phillips, is, like W. E. Napier, a native of England, and, in fact, was born within a short distance of that young master's birthplace. In Sheerness-on-Sea, Kent, Phillips first saw the light and December 19, 1860, was his natal day.
In 1870 he went to Toronto, Canada, where he was educated in school and college, being admitted to the bar in 1882. He practiced for some years in that city, but in 1885 made his home in Chicago and has been a court reporter there ever since.
Learning the game at the age of 17, Phillips won the championship of Toronto Chess Club two years later. Subsequently he was champion of Canada for two years before going to Chicago. He has placed the Illinois state championship to this credit no less than four times.
As winner of the great Continental correspondence tournament, originated by Walter Penn Shipley of Philadelphia, and lasting four years, Phillips achieved his high rank in that branch of the game. This he accomplished against a field of the strongest experts ever engaged in a similar contest in this country. He is also a competitor in the pending Twentieth Century Tournament of the Pillsbury National Correspondence Chess Association, and up to a short time ago had made a clean score in the preliminary and semi-final rounds, winning 14 and drawing 1." https://best-in-chess.blogspot.com/... |
