The Chess
Player’s Magazine, 1866, page 328, carried a brief report on the
Sheffield Athenaeum Chess Club’s Annual Soirée which read as
follows.
|
SHEFFIELD ATHENAEUM CHESS CLUB
(Communicated.)
The annual
soiree of this club was held on the 18th September. There were about forty
gentlemen present, including the distinguished amateur Dr. Wilson, of
Clay-cross, whose attendance afforded the members much
gratification. Another tournament on the principle of that which was
held in the early part of the year has been arranged. The play
commenced on the 21st September, and is to be concluded on the 18th
December. The members hope by diligent and well-studied practice to
improve the playing strength of the club.
