Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-30-16  zanzibar: <WAS born in London in 1856. He learned the moves when 15, and promptly succumbed to the chess fever, which possessed him with autocratic sway. Luckily the disease was reduced to more moderate courses by his becoming secretary of large and energetic chess club. Nothing is better calculated to take the fine frenzy off one's enthusiasm for 'the cause" than to sit up till two or three in the morning despatching circulars with ingenuous hope to trap the shy subscription. In those days the chief function of chess club treasurer was to hold the perennial deficiency. Therefore, an affluent man was always chosen for the post. At least it diminished temptation.

Mr. Lord's first problem was published in 187 1. In it the mate is given by converting Pawn into Knight. Mr. Lord states that he lays no claim to the introduction of this coup into problem construction, although it has been frequently employed since his problem appeared, verb. sap.

In 1873 he became member of the City of London Club, and made the acquaintance of the leading lights of the chess world. There were giants in those days Blackburne, Bird, Boden, DeVere, Potter, and Wisker, without counting the foreign masters. It is somewhat of paradox that, while at the present day there is scarcely any promise of successors to these great names in English chess, the general level of strength amongst amateurs has improved at least couple of classes within these 20 years.>

Note the discrepancy for dob with our bio.

Jan-30-16  zanzibar: Also

<As member of the British, the City, and the Metropolitan Chess Clubs, Mr. Lord has played in most of their important contests, and with substantial success. He has recently resumed composing, and we annex specimens of his earlier and later work.>
