Re: H E Atkins
The following game is not so exciting but the loser was from an interesting family. Lucien Serraillier (1886–1919) died in the 'Spanish Flu' epidemic and was the son of political refugees from the Paris Commune. His father, Auguste Serraillier was a leading Communard who became a close ally and frie...

Re: H E Atkins
The score for the following game becomes rather garbled after 12.d4. Can any reader with access to The Field for 1915 provide the original, or can it be reconstructed? Atkins Wahltuch 1915.png [Event "NCCU Championship"] [Site "Leeds"] [Date "1915.03.27"] [Round "?"] [White "Atkins, Henry Ernest"] [...

Re: H E Atkins
328 is a considerable improvement over MegaBase 2020 which has 230. I've attempted to add games and make corrections for ChessBase but I have failed miserably. I have a tranche of Keith Richardson games from one of his scorebooks but CB are not interested. Excellent newspaper clipping Gerard ! Did ...

H E Atkins
John Saunders has begun the necessary and overdue task of assembling the games of H. E. Atkins. http://www.saund.org.uk/britbase/pgn/atkins-viewer.html So far he has 328 of them, but surely there must be many more out there. Here's one which might make the list. I wonder what happened to Georgie Hah...

Re: Invisible pieces
Gerard, it's no big deal... Something I read about the history of Killoran House. There's a tenuous connection to the Jesuits. Nothing personal was meant really just a little bit of word association of my own. Best... John I have no idea what or where 'Killoran House' is, or what connection - howev...
