THOMAS PHYSICK
(born 1852, died Dec-22-1904, 52 years old) United Kingdom

[what is this?]

"Another such London player was the sculptor (and musician), Thomas Physick. Less renowned than Loman, Physick was still a dangerous opponent. He originally was with the Kentish Town Chess club and even served as president, but in 1892 he joined the City of London club and won the club championship the following year with a score of 10/11. In 1899 Physick shared 2nd place with Georg Marco in the minor tournament of the London International (each winning 5 and drawing 6 with no losses). Frank Marshall, who won the tournament +7=3-1, suffered his only loss to Physick. Thomas Physick died in 1905."

Feb-12-13  Shams: This man's surname is an archaic term for the practice of medicine.

Is the Physick - Marshall game mentioned in the biography lost to history? I couldn't find it on 365.

  MissScarlett: <The Times> for Monday, November 26, 1900:

<The simultaneous display at the City of London C.C. on Wednesday was, in the absence of Herr Maroczy, limited to a contest in which 25 strong players met the champion. Mr. Lasker played steadily for four hours. His score was then 11-1/2 to 3-1/2. The ten remaining games were adjudicated upon on Saturday by Mr. Blackburne and the final score is :-Lasker won 14, drew 4, and lost 7. The winners were Messrs. Curnock, Gibbons, Jones, Tietjen, Tattersall, Physick, and Dr. Smith.>
