Jul-26-18		Jean Defuse: ... John Rhodes was a member of Leeds Chess Club, and a primary mover in the formation of the original Yorkshire Chess Association, besides being possibly the county’s strongest player in his day. Steve Mann: http://mannchess.org.uk/People/Rhod... Rod Edwards: http://www.edochess.ca/players/p317... . The following interesting partie, played during the Tournament (Yorkshire Chess Association), between the Lion of the day and Mr. John Rhodes of Leeds, Mr. St. Amant giving the odds of Pawn and two moves. (Remove Black's K. B.'s Pawn from the board.) [Event "Odds Game, Yorkshire Chess Association"] [Site "Wakefield"] [Date "1846.05.13"] [White "Rhodes, John"] [Black "De Saint Amant, Pierre Charles Four"] [Result "1-0"] [SetUp "1"] [FEN " click for larger view "] 2. d4 e6 3.
