Dec-29-04		Benzol: John A Fuller Born 12th May 1928 He was British Correspondence champion in 1954 and 1955.

May-12-08		whiteshark: "John A Fuller died in March 2005. 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.

Dec-06-10		sneaky pete: The 1963 game against Fischer was played by James Fuller.

Feb-14-13		Rob Fuller: The games shown here in years 1962 to 1977 are not John Fuller the former british correspondence champion and british boys champion.

Feb-14-13		Nosnibor: I first met John Fuller over the board in a BCFQualifier(Zonal stage)This was March 1967 and he told me that he had not played OTB chess for 5 years.He was an extremely amiable person.The game went as follows:-White:J.K.Robinson Black:J.A.Fuller,Sicilian Defence,1e4,c5,2Nf3,d6,3d4,cxd4,4Nxd4,Nf6,5Nc3,a- 6,6Bc4,Bd7,70-0,Nc6.8a4,e6,9Be3,Be7,10Kh1,Qc7.11- Be2,Nxd4.12Qxd4,0-0,13f4,e5,14Qd2,Bc6,15Bf3,b5,1- 6g4,Qb7,17Qg2,exf4,18Bxf4,bxa4,19g5, Nd7,20Nxa4,Rfe8,21b3,Bf8,22Rae1,Ne5,23Bxe5,Rxe5,- 24Nb2,Rae8,25Nc4,Rc5,26h4,Re6,27Re2,Qe7,28Rfe1,h- 6,29Bg4,hxg5,30Bxe6,fxe6,31h5,g4,32Qxg4,Rg5,33Qf- 4,Rf5,34Qg4,35Rg5,Qf4 drawn by repetition of moves.In 1958 which I believe was Fullers last appearance in the British Champioship he finished fifth equal with Cafferty and Gibbs scoring 6.5/11.In doing so he beat Wade,Gibbs,Horseman and drawing with Clarke and also the defending champion.

Feb-15-13		Tomlinsky: <Rob Fuller> Which part of England did <John A Fuller> hail from may I ask? I am assuming that you are related, and that he was based here, but either way welcome to Chessgames.

Dec-30-13		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.
