 | | MissScarlett: <ILN>, February 23rd 1856, p.215: <(To the Editor of the Illustrated London News.)Will you allow me to inform the Chess community through the medium of your columns, that I have in my "Chess Player's Annual" unwittingly inflicted a great personal injury on Mr. William Bone. That distinguished strategist is not (as I was informed on what I supposed to be good authority) dead, but is in full possession of health and mental faculties, which I regret to say have not been devoted to the cause of Chess for some years past. I am, &c., Charles Tomlinson.

<It is remarkable how many painters play Chess well. Martin, Landseer, Wilkin, and Bone, jun., are all excellent proficients. Who, indeed, can pretend to admire the arts that loveth not one of the fairest of the family - Chess.> Turns out William's father was <Henry Pierce Bone> (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry...) and his grandfather, <Henry Bone> (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry...). Turns out <batgirl> had all this covered: https://www.chess.com/article/view/... |
