He had been inactive as a chessplayer for many years, but played with some distinction in the Hastings Premier of 1949 scoring 3/9 and of 1955 scoring 3.5/9.
He was typical of this era of strong English players who would unquestionably have become an international master, had the opportunities of today been available then." Obituary by Stewart Reuben [28/4/05], http://www.englishchess.org.uk/nati... |

| May-12-08 | | pastpawn: I am wondering if the John A Fuller who played the 1962, 1963 and 1977 games above is actually the same as the British Correspondence Champion John A Fuller (who played the games up to 1956). It seems odd that these 3 games are played in the US, and also appear to contain blunders you wouldn't normally expect from a master-level player. |

 | | Richard Taylor: There is another John Fuller who plays chess (correspondence). He is also a poet and novelist. He is the son of Roy Fuller. This may add to the confusion of Fullers. Probably (almost certainly) not the J A Fuller here. |
