Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-30-16  zanzibar: <THE genial Chess Editor of the Bradford Observer Budget, was born at Woolwich on July 5th, 1860, and is thus Southerner by birth, although, having lived in the North nearly all his life, his sympathies naturally are Northern, and especially Yorkshiren, to coin word.

In the county of broad acres, chess has few more devoted supporters than he, and he is always ready to break lance for the honour of club or county. His column generally contains something of more than local interest, and to player or problemist we can heartily recommend it. Mr. Woollard possesses keen sense of humour. The following extract from the Birmingham. Mercury, July, 1893, well illustrates his style:--

The Chess Editor Bradford Observer Budget has just had lively experience. Every problem published during the month of June proved unsound, and he thus humorously hits off the situation We don't know whether we are sorry for this or not. To publish two or three successive unsound problems is annoying, but when the number is increased to five, all in the same month, the first tendency towards picturesque language, is over-borne by feelings of gratification at having established record. Of course any chess editor could publish any number of unsound problems in succession if he tried, but the merit of our performance is that we didn't try. One hears of extraordinary deals at whist, but take the published compositions of the five gentlemen responsible for our June problems Messrs. Walter Gleave, B. G. Laws, G. Heathcote, F. R. Gittins, and J. Rayner shuffle them up, and the chances of dealing out five successive blanks would be smaller than that of getting thirteen trump cards.'">
