Thanks Tim. Hereford Times is a good call

Some more here. https://www.chess.com/article/view/mouret
the book of 50 games is indeed online. Used it in one of my articles. Happy hunting!

It gets even more confusing!! I.L.N. 11/11/1848 has a problem by Mr. J.P.Mucklow, President of the Oxford Chess Club.

Minor side note. I.L.N. of 05/04/1851 gives a game where Newham gave odds to E.H.Rhodes of Bath.

J.S. Mucklow seems to be correct - he entered some problems for the competition held as part of the 1862 London congress ( unless there were three, including a J.R. Mucklow which seems doubtful, given the earlier contributions.) Clearly James Swain Mucklow was a chess player. He is given in the tour...

I have noted one example here. https://www.chess.com/blog/simaginfan/r ... m-the-past

When I get it I certainly won't be sending it to you!!!

Soviet Outcast is on my Christmas list as well

Indeed Geoff - those types of books are rather more expensive than the Reinfeld reprints!!. Worth every penny in my opinion.
Anyone can submit material for Winter's site. I have a couple of my 'discoveries' on there.

We certainly did. I remember many hours playing blitz with Keith Arkell with our hair hanging over the board - we couldn't muster enough for a paint brush between us these days!!!!!

Evening guys. Glad you enjoyed it - Mr Barker's material is a joy!

Final part now online.
