(Barry is a cousin of Julian Ivan Peter Simpole\, who was a Brighton school teacher and who taught Edward Gerard Winter to play chess). \nBarry now lives in Halling\, Rochester\, Kent with his wife Jean. \nFrom The Encyclopedia of Chess (Robert Hale\, 1970 & 1976) by Anne Sunnucks : \n“International Master of FIDE for Chess Compositions (1967) and International Judge of FIDE for Chess Compositions (1967). \nBorn on 1st August 1937\, Barnes works in transport advertising. He has composed about 250 two-move problems. With Lipton and Rice\, he has contributed to the advance of the modern two-mover. Problem Editor of Two-Move and Twin sections of The Problemist. Co-author with M.Lipton and JM Rice of The Two-Move Chess Problem : Tradition and Development (Faber and Faber 1966). \nBarry Peter Barnes\n  \nBP Barnes\n2nd Prize Problem T.T. 1964 \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\nWhite to play and mate in two moves \n(a) Diagram\n(b) With black pawn at KN2 (g7) \n(a) Solution\n1. B-R3! \n(b) Solution 1. K-K2! \nFrom British Chess (Pergamon Press\, 1983) by GS Botterill\, DNL Levy\, JM Rice and MJ Richardson : \nBarry wrote about himself as follows : \n“A promising career as a county chess player came to an end when I was given Brian Harley’s classic book Mate in Two Moves in the belief that it would help my chess\, but it had quite the opposite effect. My interest in competitive chess waned\, and I was on the road to an an International Master title for problems! \nEarly influences in my problem career were the weekly chess problem solving competition in The Observer (my first problem published there was in 1955)\, a teenage friendship with J. M. Rice and M. Lipton (both now lnternational Masters)\, Herbert Grasemann’s book Problem Schach / with its near revolutionary post-war German problem ideas\, and the expert British problemist\, A. R. Gooderson who had I but known it only a few years earlier was the officiating master when my Hove Grammar School played Steyning Grammar at chess. \nIn the late 1950s and early 1960s\, the genuinely original problems I was making in cooperation and in competition with Rice and Lipton were being published mostly abroad in such specialist problem magazines as Die Schwatbe (with its inspired two-move editor\, Hermann Albrecht) where I gained the epithet\,the English prize-snatcher’! It was also written that the work of the avant_garde composers\, Rice\, Lipton and Barnes\, was like a fresh two-move wind blowing from our island. It was sad but true at that time that the specialist magazine of the British Chess problem Society (founded 1918)\, The problemist\, was unreceptive to change and our often bizarre ideas. \nA milestone of sorts was reached when I won lst prize for problem I in 1958\, a prize for the best new problem by a member of the British Commonwealth aged under 21. In 1966\, I was invited by problemist Grandmaster Comins Mansfield\, who was President of the FIDE Problem Commission\, to act as Secretary at the Barcelona meeting. With Mr. Mansfield’s retirement\, I became the British Member to the Commission\, and at the Wiesbaden meeting\, 1974\, I was elected 2nd Vice-President. (1st Vice-President from 1982) \nThe FIDE Problem Commission meets annually to discuss matters relating to all branches of problem chess\, to organize the World Chess Composing Tournament (WCCT)\, the World Chess Solving Competition (WCSC)\, and to publish FIDE Album anthologies of the best problems. It was on the strength of my success in these FIDE Albums that the Commission granted me the titles in 1967 of ‘lnternational Master of the FIDE for Chess Composition’ and ‘lnternational Judge of the FIDE for Chess Composition’. Since 1974\, I have been Chairman of the Titles Sub-Committee of the Commission. \nSince 1965\, I have been the two-move editor of The Problemist and have served almost without break on the BCPS Committee. I have contributed to The Encyclopaedia of Chess by Anne Sunnucks (Robert Hale\, 1970)\, I am co-author\, with J. M. Rice and M. Lipton\, of The Two-Move Chess Problem: Tradition & Development‘ (Faber A Faber\, 1966)\, and I am the sole author of Comins Mansfield MBE: Chess Problems of a Grandmaster: (British Chess Problem Society\, 1976) and Pick of the Best Chess Problems (Elliot Right Way Books\, 1976) \nTo date I have made just over 300 two-movers and some helpmates.” \nThe Two Move Chess Problem : Tradition and Development\nPick of the best Chess Problems\nSource: The Problemist\, May 1996.

He was born in (Musland Farm in the parish of Saint Dogwells\,) Pembroke\, Wales\, went to sea at the age of 14\, was employed by the Postal Department from about 1815\, and rose to the rank of captain four years later. In 1824\, soon after taking command of the first Royal Mail steam packet to sail from Milford Haven to Waterford\, and while aboard\, he invented his gambit. Evans was a keen player. He gathered a small chess circle in Waterford\, and when on leave in England played chess in London\, notably in 1826 when he showed his gambit to Lewis and McDonnell\, and in 1838 when he played a long series of games with Staunton at the Westminster Chess Club. In Jan. 1840 he was pensioned off on account of ill-health. He went to Greece\, became captain of a steamer that sailed the Mediterranean\, and returned to London at the end of 1842. During the next 13 years there are several accounts of his presence in London\, and then he settled abroad. He died and was buried in Ostend\, \nEvans claimed to have solved the three pawns problem (See below) \, which\, however\, had already been solved by others. His claim to the invention of tri-coloured lighting for ships has not been verified independently\, although he is known to have investigated the subject. For this invention he states that the Tsar of Russia gave him a gold chronometer\, and that he also received money. For a more detailed life of Captain Evans see British Chess Magazine\, 1928\, pp\, 6-18.” \nThe Evans Gambit is a variation of the Giuoco Piano or Italian Game : \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\nWhen Evans originally devised his gambit the move order was slightly different : \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\nin which White sacrifices the b-pawn for increased central control and development viz : \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess game visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\nFrom The Encyclopedia of Chess (Robert Hale\, 1970 & 1976) by Anne Sunnucks : \n“Inventor of the Evans Gambit\, an opening described by a player in the last century as ‘A yellow fever attack : if you live through the initial stages and avoid any carelessness that may bring on a relapse\, you will come out alright’. \nCaptain Evans discovered the gambit in about 1824. It was a favourite opening during the last century and was adopted by a number of leading players including La Bourdonnais and Morphy. \nFor some years Commander in H.M. Royal Mail Packet Service on the Milford and Waterford station\, Captain Evans later became Commander in the P.& O. Company’s service and agent for the Royal Mail Steampacket Company\, Port Grande. On retirement he lives for many years in Holland and Belgium. \nThe story is told of how\, in 1870\, the Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia\, brother of the Tsar\, was visiting Bruges when he heard that the inventor of the Evans Gambit was living in Ostend. Being a keen chess player he invited Evans to play a game. When Evans had won\, the Grand Duke turned to his adversary and said : ‘I believe you invented the Evans Gambit ?’\, ‘Yes’ replied Evans ‘and it’s not the only thing I’ve invented for which you have not paid me.’ ‘What’s the other?’ asked the Grand Duke.\nEvans then explained that he was the inventor of the ship’s lights which were being used by the Russian Navy\, in which the Grand Duke held the rank of Admiral. Several months later Evans was invited to the Russian Consulate in Ostend\, where he was handed a letter from the Grand Duke\, a gold chronometer\, a gold chain and a draft of money\, ostensibly in payment for the Russia’s rights to use the captain’s invention in her ships. ” \nEnjoy this interesting article from “Introuble2” on chess.com \nEvans analyzed the “Little Game of Chess” (an endgame composition involving only two kings with three pawns each) \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\nto independently discover that it actually won for the player who moves first\, not drawn as had been believed for over a hundred years. \nFrom The Encyclopedia of Chess (Batsford\, 1977) by Harry Golombek we have : \n“After his retirement Evans went to live abroad and eventually found a haven is Ostend and there\, ill\, and almost blind and in very straightened circumstances\, he dictated a letter on 22 March 1871\, which was published in the Gentlemen’s Journal supplement for June 1872\, along with an appeal for him organised by George Walker. The letter gives the authentic facts of his life and is worth quoting in full\, if only to refute various unfounded reports about a meeting with the Tsar’s brother\, or according to that rich source of misinformation\, the Rev GA MacDonnell\, that the Evans Gambit was discovered off the coast of Africa by a middle-aged lieutenant in the Royal Navy -perhaps the reverend gentleman was confusing Waterford with the Canary Islands. \nThe letter runs : \nWilliams Davies Evans is a native of Pembrokeshire\, South Wales\, and was born on 27 January 1790. He commenced a naval career at the age of fourteen. He was about twenty-eight years of age when he first learnt the moves of the game of Chess. Having the advantage of frequent practise with Lieut H. Wilson\, R.N.\, who was a player of some reputation in his time\, beside corresponding on the subject of the game with the late Mr. W. Lewis\, and also with George Walker\, the able Chess Editor of Bell’s Life \, he made a rapid progress in the game. Captain Evans received at first the odds of a Rook from Lieut. Wilson. After a continuance of play for some years\, the odds were greatly reduced\, until ultimately Captain Evans succeeded in defeating his formidable antagonist playing even. \nAbout the year 1824\, being then in command of a Government Mail Steamer\, the passages between Milford Haven and Waterford were favourable to the study of the game of Chess and at this time he invented the Gambit\, which bears his name. The idea occurred to him while studying a narration of Giuoco Piano in Sarratts’s Treatise on Chess. \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess game visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\nCaptain Evans was the first who gave to the world a true solution of that very difficult end game\, the King and three Pawns unmoved against King and three Pawns also unmoved. This position was handed down to us through a period of some centuries as a drawn game\, but Captain Evans proved that the first player can always win. \nCaptain Evans acquired some celebrity as “Inventor of the System of Tri-Coloured Lights for Ships to Prevent Collisions at Night”\, which has been adopted by all nations possessing a marine. For this invention the English Government awarded him the sum of £1\,500 \, and the Czar of Russia a gold pocket chronometer\, value £160\, together with a donation of £200. \nThe subscription that amounted to over £200 was too late. He died in 1872 and was buried in Ostend where his grave bears the inscription : \nTo the sacred memory of William Davies Evans\, formerly Commander in the Post Office and Peninsular and Oriental Steam Services\, Superintendent In the Royal Mail Shipping Company\, and inventor of the system of tri-coloured light for shipping.

Within a few years he became one of the country’s leading juniors.[1] He represented England in four Chess Olympiads. Barden played a major role in the rise of English chess from the 1970s. As a chess columnist for various newspapers\, his column in London’s Evening Standard is the world’s longest-standing chess column. \nLeonard Barden (seated\, second from right) Before Botvinnik’s 1981 Pergamon Press clock simul against England juniors\, the final competitive event of the Patriarch’s career.Standing: Stuart Conquest\, Neil Dickenson.

Far right: LB.\nIn 1964\, Barden gave up most competitive chess to devote his time to chess organisation\, broadcasting\, and writing about the game. He has made invaluable contributions to English chess as a populariser\, writer\, organiser\, fundraiser\, and broadcaster. \nLeonard Barden at Bob Wade’s 80th birthday party\, 2001.\nHe was controller of the British Chess Federation Grand Prix for many years\, having found its first sponsor\, Cutty Sark. He was a regular contributor to the BBC’s Network Three weekly radio chess programme from 1958 to 1963. His best-known contribution was a consultation game\, recorded in 1960 and broadcast in 1961\, where he partnered Bobby Fischer against the English masters Jonathan Penrose and Peter Clarke. This was the only recorded consultation game of Fischer’s career. The game\, unfinished after eight hours of play\, was adjudicated a draw by former world champion Max Euwe. Barden gave BBC television commentaries on all the games in the 1972 world championship. From 1973 to 1978 he was co-presenter of BBC2’s annual Master Game televised programme. \nJulian and Nigel Short play Korchnoi in the Evening Standard 1976 simul. Leonard Barden observes.\nAs of 2021\, his weekly columns have been published in The Guardian for 65 years and in The Financial Times for 46 years. A typical Barden column not only contains a readable tournament report\, but is geared toward promoting the game. His London Evening Standard column\, begun in summer 1956\, is now the world’s longest running daily chess column by the same author\, breaking the previous record set by George Koltanowski in the San Francisco Chronicle. Koltanowski’s column ran for 51 years\, 9 months\, and 18 days\, including posthumous articles.” \nLeonard Barden (Linda Nylind of the Guardian)\nLeonard wrote this on the English Chess Forum in 2021 : \n“I retired after Ilford 1964 when I finished a poor last in the England Olympiad team qualifier\, returned at Hammersmith 1969 (equal 2nd behind Keene) and then played around 6-8 weekenders a year until 1972. My overall performance level between early 60s and early 70s dropped from around 225 to 215 BCF\, so I wasn’t encouraged to pursue the comeback further.” \nLeonard was Southern Counties (SCCU) champion in the 1953-54 season. \nLeonard Barden\, Stewart Reuben and Michael Franklin at the 1978 Aaronson Masters\nLeonard reveals this as his best game : \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess game visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\nLeonard has authored or co-authored a number of highly regarded books\, most of which are highly instructional to this day: \nA Guide to Chess Openings (1957)\, \nA Guide to Chess Openings\nHow Good Is Your Chess?

From the start he was a versatile composer\, and Weenink’s The Chess Problem (see introduction) contains two three-movers of his illustrating anticipatory half-pin (see Diagram I) a reflex-mate in two dating from 1920 and a selfmate in four from 5 years earlier\, when the composer was only seventeen. \nDiagram I \n1st prize \, Hampshire Telegraph & Post\, 1920 \nWhite mates in 3 \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n(All Solutions contained in scan at foot of article.) \nIt must have been exciting for a budding problemist to grow up in the period between 1913 and 1924 when the Good Companion Chess Problem Club of Philadelphia was publishing its Folders of original work containing outstanding examples of complex strategy such as half-pins and cross-checks. Diagram II\, with its intricate battery play\, won first prize for Anderson in the Folder of October 1917. \nDiagram II\n1st prize\, Good Companions\, October 1917 \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\nDiagram III is a justly famous two-mover\, with a perfect key and beautiful line-play: \nIL Secolo\, 1919 \nWhite mates in 2 \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\nBetween 1953 and 1961 Anderson was with the British Embassy in Washington and a close friendship developed with the American composer Vincent Eaton. \nIn the introduction to his published collection of Eaton’s best problems (Memorial to V. L. Eaton\, 1971) Anderson describes his visits to Eaton’s house where they would work for hours on joint compositions (nine of them altogether\, eight prize winners)- ‘blockbusters’\, as they themselves termed them. Diagram IV is one of these\, a highly complex check-prevention scheme. \nDiagram IV \n1st prize\, British Chess Magazine\, 1953 \n(with V.L. Eaton) \nWhite mates in 3 \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\nA glance through the anthologies shows how successful Anderson has always been with orthodox forms\, perhaps especially with three- and four- movers and with selfmates. Diagram V is a characteristic selfmate in two\, with a good deal more strategy than many composers achieve in selfmate form: \nDiagram V \n2nd prize\, British Chess Federation Tournament\, 1947 \nSelfmate in 2 \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\nSince his retirement Anderson has lived for much of the time in Italy\, where the air seems to be conducive to the composition of reflex-mates\, for that is the genre with which he has principally been occupied in recent years. Diagram VI is a good illustration of his style; a couple of changed continuations\, and subtle play centered on the two diagonals b5-f1 and c6-h1. (A reflex-mate is a selfmate in which both sides are under an obligation to mate on the move if possible). In this problem White has to keep his active line-pieces (Q and B) well out of the way of the potential mating diagonal. \nDiagram VI \n1st prize\, The Problemist\, 1975 \nReflex-mate in 2 \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess diagram visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\nIn addition to the Eaton anthology mentioned above\, Anderson has published Adventures of my Chessmen \nAdventures of my Chessmen 1914 – 1923 \, GF Anderson\, Chess Amateur\, Stroud\, 1924\nand Are There Any?\, the latter being a fascinating collection of Kriegspiel problems. He was President of the British Chess Problem Society from 1962 to 1964\, and became a FIDE International Judge in 1960 and an International Master in 1975.” \nGerald Frank Anderson MBE DFC (24-ii-1898 23-viii-1984)\nFrom The Encyclopedia of Chess (Robert Hale\, 1970 and 1976) by Anne Sunnucks : \n“International Judge of FIDE for Compositions (1960). Born on 23rd February 1898. Won the DFC in 1914-18 war. Foreign Office (Retd.)

The citation reads : “Gerald Frank Anderson\, DFC\, Second Secretary\, Her Majesty’s Embassy\, Washington.” \nFrom The Encyclopaedia of Chess (Batsford\, 1977)\, Harry Golombek OBE we have this by John Rice: \n“British problem composer\, output about 550 problems.\, orthodox and fairy.

His last recorded game was played on June 30th 2018 and was a win with black versus Andrew Ledger graded 227. \nJeff played 1.e4 playing 1.g3 once against Graham Lee and winning and the Trompowski once against Murray Chandler and losing. In recent years he favoured the Wormald (Alapin) Attack in the Ruy Lopez. \nWith the black pieces Jeff defended the main line Ruy Lopez and the King’s Indian Defence. \nHere is a comment from PQB4 from chessgames.com : \n“A pity we don’t have more games here by this gifted attacking player\, arguably the most respected amateur in the North of England. 220 BCF/2300+ for about 30 years\, he’s beaten a string of grandmasters\, but his best stuff probably occurs in weekend congresses\, hence we don’t have enough recorded. I hope there are many such players in the world whose respect for the game and other players shows more of the quality of a true chess black belt than that of some of the more famous. Off the board he’s a schoolteacher\, and presumably a pretty inspiring one\, to judge by his infectious love of chess and the encouraging words he invariably has for opponents. I’ve had the pleasure of playing Jeff a few times and… let’s just say that The Day of My Revenge will surely come.” \nAccording to David Norwood : \n(from https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/chess/3601119/David-Norwood-shows-how-there-is-life-in-an-old-dog-yet.html) \n“There have been so many headlines about Britain’s 12-year-old chess prodigy\, David Howell\, that it nice to turn our attention to someone at the other end of the spectrum. Perhaps few readers will have heard of 53-year-old Jeff Horner- unless\, that is\, you have played on the north of England chess circuit\, where Jeff has been dominating events since before I was born. My first meeting with Jeff was at Bolton Chess Club at the age of six\, but it was another ten years before I fancied my chances against him. And it wasn’t just me who feared him. Few indeed were the top players who travelled “Up North” and got the better of Horner.” \n2002 : Jeff Horner takes on world under-10 chess champion Luke McShane blindfolded\nThe above photograph was recovered from The Bolton News \nwhich goes on to write : \n“IT’S hard enough challenging a world champion to a game of chess\, but to then say you’ll do it blindfold is bordering on the ridiculous. \nBut that’s exactly what Jeff Hormer from Radcliffe did back in 1993. \nTeacher Jeff’s showdown with Luke McShane\, the world under-10 chess champion from London was the main attraction at a two-day chess festival held at Bolton’s Moat House. \nJeff\, 43\, faced off against nine-year-old\, Luke\, with a thick black cloth placed over his eyes. \nThe youngster had full view of the board\, but Mr Horner was forced to play with the aid of an assistant who placed his pieces and let him know the moves Luke was making \nJeff’s amazing memory and powers of concentration coupled with his greater experience proved too much for the young chess champion. \nAnd despite the handicap of the blindfold\, he beat the world champion relatively easily.. \nIt ended up being one of the few matches that Luke McShane lost as he gained international recognition as a chess prodigy. \nJeff Horner\, Isle of Man 2008\, Photograph : John Saunders\nAged just 16 he became the youngest British chess player to be awarded the title of Grandmaster by the International Chess Federation in 2000 and now\, although he works as a trader in the City of London\, Luke is regarded as the best amateur chess player in the world. \nJeff Hormer was a long-standing member of Bolton chess club and was renowned for his ability on the board\, often taking on – and beating – internationally-renowned players. \nHe famously beat British Grand Master Tony Miles\, who himself had only recently defeated the reigning world champion Anatoly Karpov. \nJeff was awarded the title of International Master by the International Chess Federation.” \nJeff Horner\nHere are his games \n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess game visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n You must activate JavaScript to enhance chess game visualization. \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\nMore from David Norwood : \n“I still remember Tony Miles\, fresh from his historic victory against World Champion Anatoly Karpov\, stopping off at the Blackpool Open.

Both players needed two wins from their last two games to earn an international master (IM) result.
