Stirling Observer

“BOB” LINDSAY IN LONDON. – “Bob” Lindsay, a well-known Stirling chess and whist player, is now a member of Kitchener’s Army, his corps being the Sportsmen’s Battalion, which is quartered at the Hotel Cecil, London. Physical training is carried out in the mornings at the enclosure behind Somerset House, and in the afternoon there is a route march through some part of the Metropolis. In the evening there is every facility for indoor recreation at the hotel, and chess is a favourite game. “Bob” is worthily upholding the reputation of Sirling chess, and up to the time he was on furlough at Christmas had not been beaten, though a good many had tried to “lick” him. “Bob” is an adept at the King’s Bishop Gambit, and its variations, and owes most of his victories to it.
