  perfidious: It seems this player found some opponents worthy of his steel.
Jan-06-22  Nosnibor: I have read that he resided in Calcutta for some time during his life and discovered a line against the Vienna Opening. In 1879 he beat Blackburne in a consultation game whilst he was being partnered by Bird. (7th May 1879,Simpsons Divan)

  MissScarlett: Yes, there isn't much biographical information out there. Harding has him as a successful Liverpool businessman - one assumes this was the nature of his links with India. Able and generous enough to have been on playing terms with many top players, he seems to have been a particular supporter of Blackburne, backing, in part at least, the match with Zukertort (1881) and the aborted match with Lasker (1890).
