Jan-10-19		An Englishman: Good Evening: Does anyone have the crosstable of the London 1897 tournament? Given the low esteem in which women chessplayers were held, it seems too much to ask if more games from the event are available.

Jan-10-19		Retireborn: <An Englishman> See here:- http://www.chessarch.com/archive/00...

Jan-11-19		An Englishman: Good Evening: Terrific find, <Retireborn>! Quite a wealth of information--especially the prize for "neatest mate," a handbag, and the two prizes for "amiability."

Jan-11-19		SamAtoms1980: There once was a lady named Rudge Who got many a man's game to budge. Whenever one blundered He slumped back and wondered What would happen if he could tell it to the judge.

Mar-28-21		MissScarlett: <BCM>, June 1889, p.231: <Our readers will be sorry to hear that Miss M. Rudge, of Clifton, is at present in very depressed pecuniary circumstances; so much so, that she has felt obliged (though most reluctantly) to give her consent to an appeal being made on her behalf. We are sure English chess players will not allow one of their best lady players to remain in actual, though it is to be hoped only temporary want; and contributions for its relief, however small, will be thankfully received by the Rev. C. E. Ranken, St. Ronan's, Malvern, and acknowledged by him privately to the donors.> <Chess and Poverty> https://www.chesshistory.com/winter...
