  Tabanus: Abt. 1938-1950 he was "A. H. Knight (Maidstone)" in the chess reports.

There are few candidates; my main suspect is Anthony Henry Knight (1895-1977), insurance clerk in Maidstone in 1939, but this needs confirmation.

  roberts partner: That sounds a correct identification. My mental picture of AH Knight from those two Southsea tournaments is that he was a small, slight man with dark hair, polite and correct to his opponents, and a chain smoker. Britbase has an additional game from Southsea 1949 where Knight (initials given wrongly as WH) lost to Tartakover in a more entertaining game than any of the three above. He resisted well for a time but eventually lost to some mazy tactics.
Aug-24-20  Nosnibor: <robertspartner> According to the 1949 Southsea Tournament book Knight never played Tartakover. It must therefore relate to the other Southsea event.
Aug-25-20  Nosnibor: <robertspartner> Britbase may be mistaking W.H.Pratten who lost to Tartakover in the last round at Southsea 1949.
