n.b. it seems the organisers didn't make a draw as such but simply placed the competitors in alphabetical order to assign them their pairing number! (As they did for other sections.) Good news for Atkins as this guaranteed him an extra white. (Under the 1904-1947 pairing rules players with an odd number in the draw would get an extra white.)

¹ Mrs Elizabeth 'Lillie' Walmsley Waterhouse (née Parry), born c1854, Halifax, died 9 October 1905, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire.
² Mrs Sidney has proved to be elusive in BMD records as regards her forenames and d.o.b. She seems have been born Eliza Truelove in Newdigate in Surrey on 23 July 1858, but later assumes a first name of Helen, Helena or Ellen, giving her second name variously as Eliza, Elise or Elizabeth, and varying her d.o.b. by a few years. She married Paul Sidney (b 1830) in Brighton in 1883. She died (as Helen Eliza Sidney) on 9 December 1939 in Hove, Sussex

¹ Jeremy Gaige's Chess Personalia has a middle name of 'Alonzo' for J A Woollard but all the existing evidence (including one of the works referred to by Gaige himself, BCM 1909, ppn 237-238) indicates that it was 'Algernon' - JS
² "The shortest game of the Congress was played yesterday morning in the first-class amateur tournament, section B, F. E. Hamond defeating J. Wilson in six moves. The loser of this "gem" left his queen en prise, and, like a sportsman, resigned at once." (The Scotsman, 17 August 1905) Wilson would have been White in this round 3 game played on 16 August. I have not been able to find the score - JS
³ C Redway - Charles Redway (1861-1935), brother of William Edward Redway who was proprietor of the Frank Hollings chess bookshop in Holborn and ran it for some time in the mid-20th century.

¹ William Henry Greenhalgh, b 1850, was the father of William Rawson Greenhalgh (b 1883) who played in the Second Class B section. The younger Greenhalgh played in three Varsity chess matches for Cambridge and was ordained in 1907.
² Albert James Smith (c1845-1932) lived at Barton Cottage, Malton, Yorkshire. Was a regular at BCF congresses, played chess for Malton CC and Derwent CC.

"In the case of the British championship the Anglo-American Master Napier, who won the trophy after a tie with Mr. H. E. Atkins, has not come over to defend the title, but Atkins is again competing. The oldest of the list is Mr. J.H. Blackburne, now in his 63rd year, the most popular of British chess masters, fresh from the Ostend tournament, where, if he did not take a very high place, he had the honour of being awarded a brilliancy prize and of twice defeating Marshall. There are also competing Mr. G. E. Bellingham, of Dudley; Mr. R. P. Michell, of London; the Rev. W. C. Palmer, of Bolton; Mr. A. J. Mackenzie, of Birmingham, who played last year, and the following, who, though players of established reputation, make their first appearance in the championship competition: Mr. W. H. Gunston, Cambridge; Mr. V. L. Wahltuch, Manchester; Mr. G. E. Wainwright; Mr. H. W. Shoosmith, and Mr. W. Ward, of London; and Mr. C. H. Sherrard.

The first-class amateur tourney is being played in two sections. The corrected list of competitors is as follows:—

Section A.—E. J. Brooks, P. W. Sergeant, and J. Mortimer, London; H. E. Price, Birmingham; J. E. Parry, Shrewsbury; J.D. Chambers, Manchester; H. G. Cole, Galway; E. D. Fawcett, Mickleham; F. W. Flear, St. Albans; Dr. H. Holmes, Liverpool; and Dr. George Mack, Kettering.
Section B.—F. W. Markwick, Cecil Hammond, F. E. Hamond, and C. Redway, London; Frank Brown, Dudley; J. Wilson, Lincoln; A. West, Market Drayton; C.H. Wallworth, C. Coates, and.T. J. Kelly, Manchester; J. Crum, Glasgow; and J. A. Woollard, Keighley.

In the British ladies' championship tourney the competitors are as follows:—Miss K. B. Finn (holder of the trophy), Mrs. G. Anderson, and Mrs. A. S. [Annie Sophia] Roe [née Verdon, 1847-1921], London; Mrs. L. [Elizabeth Walmsley] Waterhouse, Ashton-under-Lyne; Mrs. E. H. Sidney, Hove; Miss Marian Millar, Altrincham; Mrs. W. S. Mayfield, Adelaide, South Australia; Mrs. F. D. Herring [misprinted as "Fleming"], Reading; Mrs. Ho[u]lding, Newport; Miss Agnes Lawson, West Hartlepool; Miss E. Matthews, Sunderland; and Miss G. Watson: Hastings." (Manchester Guardian, 15 August 1905)

"With the sixth round of the various tournaments, which was decided at Southport on Saturday, the second half of the competition has been entered upon. In the play for Championship no competitor has established any such superiority as was shown in last year's contest at Hastings at about the same stage of the competition. The absence of Napier is the cause of this. If the non-participation of one strong player causes such a difference it is a matter for speculation what the state of the score would have been if not only Napier but a stronger English player, Burn, had competed, to say nothing about Teichmann and other strong foreign players, who by all the laws of sportsmanship ought to have been in this competition. It is not only one competition whioh thus suffers. One of the strongest lady players in England is undoubtedly Mrs. [Louisa Matilda] Fagan [née Ballard]. Her participation in the ladies’ championship contest would have added very great interest to the competition. She has been identified with chess in England and in India for many years, but she is excluded from competing because she was born in America. [in fact she was born in Naples, Italy - her mother was Italian - JS] Two miners of Blaina, South Wales, Messrs. David Jones and John Lewis, who have played chess for only two or three years, are doing very well in the third-class tournament, in spite of the fact that they are meeting players of much longer experience. Mr. Lewis is one of the leaders in this section." (Manchester Guardian, 21 August 1905; see also Southport Visiter, 22 August 1905)

"CLOSE OF THE SOUTHPORT CONGRESS.
Yesterday the chess competition arranged by the British Chess Federation in co-operation with the Mayor
and Municipal Authorities of Southport were brought to a successful conclusion with the distribution of numerous prizes by Mrs. Naumann, wife of the president of the Federation.

"At a final meeting in the Art Gallery of the municipal buildings, at which the Mayor and Mayoress were present, it was pointed out that the game of chess is making great progress throughout ihe United Kingdom, and the number of its votaries is rapidly increasing amongst all classes of society. In the tournaments which have just terminated there were over 100 competitors, many of whom journeyed from far-away places in order to take part in one or other of the different sections of twelve players each, organised according to the strength of each contestant. Thus, in the principal event of the congress, the British Chess Championship, three players came from London, one from Manchester, one from Brighton, one from Leicester, one from Dudley, one from Cambridge, one from Birmingham, one from Bolton, one from Surbiton, and one (Mr. Sherrard, second prize winner) from Cairo. In other competitions there were representatives from America, Australia, Scotland, Ireland, and other distant places.

"One of the most remarkable incidents was the participation of two Welsh working miners from a colliery at Blaina, Monmouthshire. One of these, John Lewis, is, as will be seen from the list of prizes appended, winner of the first prize in his section." (The Observer, 27 August 1905) [As the grandson of a "Welsh working miner" from very near Blaina, I couldn't resist appending this passage, which speaks volumes about the class system which obtained in the chess world at the time - JS]

"Southport chess players and lady members: A proposal to admit ladies to membership of the Southport Chess Club has been defeated by the casting vote of the chairman. One of the members feared ladies would suggest chess dances in winter and chess picnics in summer. Another member said that men were a chicken-hearted lot if the presence of ladies drove them from chess" (Yorkshire Evening Post, Friday 22 September 1905)

Living Chess

[Leeds Mercury - Friday 25 August 1905] "In the afternoon [of Thursday 24 August] play was suspended in consequence of an exhibition of living chess in the recreation grounds. Mr. Norris, a prominent member cf the local Committee of the Congress and Mr. Overton, tournament secretary of the North Manchester Chess Club, directed the forces, and one of Mr. Bellingham’s games from Mason's Social Chess was played through. The dresses were pretty, and the show was witnessed by an immense crowd, Southport being full of visitors for the Carnival week."

The book referred to, Social Chess by James Mason, may be accessed online via this online chess book collection. Two games played by George Edward H Bellingham appear in it. The one used for the 1905 Southport living chess display was the following (see DJ Morgan's comment in the August 1968 SCCU Bulletin). It was published again in the Manchester Guardian, 25 August 1905, page 10.

13 October 2015	Added Bellingham-Wainwright (Rd 11) and Atkins-Ward (Rd 11), contributed by Gerard Killoran (many thanks).
11 February 2016	Added Atkins-Michell (so we now have all Atkins' games) and Mortimer-Holmes from First-Class A - many thanks to Gerard Killoran.
25 March 2016	New Championship game added: Wahltuch-Bellingham (Rd 10). Many thanks to Gerard Killoran.
26 April 2016	The game score with both players unidentified has now been identified as Fawcett-Brooks by Gerard Killoran. Many thanks, Gerard.
3 May 2018	Added nine more games from subsidiary sections, all contributed by Gerard Killoran: three from First Class B — Coates-Hamond, Wallwork-Hamond, Hamond-Crum (this last one was already on file but without clarity about result or end of game); and six from Second Class B — Adcock-Burgoyne, Collins-Adcock, Greenhalgh-Adcock, Adcock-Kitchin, Adcock-Stockwell, Adcock-Forrest. Many thanks, Gerard. I have taken the opportunity of adding complete crosstables (in draw order) from BCM.
11 November 2020	Cosmetic amendments. Replacement of scanned crosstables by typeset versions, plus more full names.
25 February 2022	Added some details about the living chess display given on the second Thursday of the congress.
22 February 2023	Added three games: (1) W.Gunston 0-1 W.Palmer (Championship, rd 9); (2) F.Burgoyne 1-0 W.R.Greenhalgh (Second Class B); (3) J.Dixon 1-0 C.Wardhaugh (Third Class A). Many thanks to Gerard Killoran who contributed them via the English Chess Forum.
13 September 2023	Added two games: (1) H.Shoosmith 0-1 V.Wahltuch (Championship, rd 6); (2) F.Flear 0-1 H.G.Cole (First Class A, rd 6). Many thanks to Brian Denman for submitting the games.
7 February 2024	Added the game J.Stockwell 1-0 C.Kitchin (Second Class B), contributed by Gerard Killoran via the English Chess Forum, with help from David McAlister.
28 March 2024	Added the game R.Michell 1-0 W.Palmer (rd 11, Championship) and the part-game J.Woollard 1-0 T.Kelly (First Class B), kindly contributed by Gerard Killoran via the English Chess Forum, for which many thanks.
28 March 2024	Applied a correction to the part-game between EJ Brooks and ED Fawcett (First Class A). This was given in two newspapers showing Fawcett as both colours(!) but the forenames given in one of them pointed to Fawcett being White. However, this clue was misleading as (a) we know Black won the game; (2) results show Fawcett was the winner; and (3) the draw order gave 1v4 in round 3 with Brooks draw number 1 and Fawcett draw number 4. So the correct result was EJ Brooks 0-1 ED Fawcett (First Class A, rd 3, 16.08.1905).
29 March 2024	Six further game scores added after further research into this tournament. All are from lower sections: (1) H.Cole 0-1 H.Holmes; (2) E.D.Fawcett 0-1 J.Parry; (3) H.Price 0-1 H.Holmes, all from First Class A. From First Class B: (4) T.Kelly 0-1 C.Coates; (5) C.Coates 1-0 J.Crum. And from Third Class B: Mrs H.Joughin 0-1 J.Douglas. Other amendments include an extra 42 moves appended to the game C.Sherrard 0-1 G.Bellingham (Championship, rd 8); sources quoted previously gave no clue as to the game's considerable length but the Southport Visiter [sic - that is how the newspaper's name is spelled], 24 August 1905, has 81 moves. Ward-Wahltuch (Championship, rd 7) also has a few additional moves. Two other amendments: all games from this congress now have full dates and round numbers; and I have added further references to sources, plus a few more forenames and details of residence. The running total of game entries is now as follows: Championship - 44 complete games + 22 stubs (some of which have descriptive detail); other sections: 47 complete scores and 2 part-games. The game used for the 'Living Chess' display has been removed from the download file but the score is still available further up this page.
