In this feature I will explore the
history of chess in the county through some of the many characters who
have graced the Shropshire chess scene over the years. I will rely heavily
on the work of David Everington, local chess historian,
and will include extracts from his books, "Shropshire Chess 1933
- 1973", and "D is for Dummkopf - More Shropshire Chess 1974-1984".
Much of his early material in turn came from a scrapbook kept by Jack
Baldwin of chess cuttings from Rev.Lacy-Hulbert's
column in the Ludlow Standard. Other contributions are welcome - please
