I found a book by him using <Henry> in it's bio about him, which referenced <Columbia Chess Chronicle 1888-09-24>. I quote the paragraph mentioning his relationship with Napoleon Marache: <AN INTERESTING SKETCH OF THEAUTHOR
BY MR. F. M. TEED.
At the request of the publishers of the book an interesting sketch of the Editor is given below, which was taken from The Columbia Chess Chronicle, of September 24, 1888, edited by the noted veteran member of the Brooklyn Chess Club of that year. "HENRY CHADWICK."
"Of course all good Americans know that the subject of this sketch is, and has been for a generation, one of the foremost base ball authorities; but it is not so well known that he is a strong chess player and has written much with a view to popularizing the game and advancing its interests. He was taught to play chess by the late Napoleon Marache, who at the time, some forty years ago, was the fashionable 'tonsorial artist' of Brooklyn, near the present bridge entrance. In return he taught Marache to play the guitar, and he once humorously informed the writer that Marache learned to outplay his teacher on that instrument, but that he learned to outplay Marache on the chess board. "He played with James Thompson, Theodore Tilton, and other celebrities of the day, in the Morphy period, and had the pleasure of seeing that wonderful master's play.> |

 | | fredthebear: It never occurs to sfod that a rolled stone might be wrong. One source is all that is necessary for sfod to become an expert on any subject. Attention seeker is so eager to change chess history for personal credit! Slow down, look around... it's a good chess habit! |

| Mar-21-23 | | stone free or die: Bovinating again <Fred>? Not helpful. Do us all a favor and get back in your stall. |
|
| Mar-21-23 | | stone free or die: Thanks <jn> for those dates. I looked into it a little, and S.H. was indeed closely associated with the Brooklyn CC, and shows up in tournaments with Otto. So I retract my previous claim. OTOH - I now think the <Chadwick--Otto> game is misdated. Also, is there any chance the two Chadwicks are related? And finally, do we have any of Henry's games on <CG>? Are any available elsewhere? |

| Mar-21-23 | | stone free or die: Henry only had two daughters, according to his obituary here ("Old Baseball Editor Dead"): https://books.google.com/books?id=p... |

| | jnpope: <Also, is there any chance the two Chadwicks are related?> If they are it is at least 2 or more generations back as their fathers were not brothers, or cousins, based on what little ancestory digging I was able to do, I'm sure <Tab> could give us a complete family tree for both if he wasn't busy gallivanting around the globe. <And finally, do we have any of Henry's games on <CG>? Are any available elsewhere?> No to the first part. Yes(?) to the second part. There are two games in the Whitehead database. I'm hunting for a contemporary source for either of them in my spare time. |
|
| Mar-22-23 | | stone free or die: Ah, <Whitehead> may prove useful after all. There's overlap in some of the chess magazines where both <S.H.> and <Henry> appear. Just wondering - do we know what the H. in <Stanley H.> stands for? Aside- We have <J. Lim> for general spots even though he's a b-baller, but a <H. Stanley> for baseball would be swell. . |

| Mar-22-23 | | stone free or die: RE: Relationship between the two Chadwicks...
It seems unlikely to be a close one, if any, since S.H.'s father came from Marblehead (died in Brooklyn), whereas Henry was born in England. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_...
