A chess column was a regular run in The Sunday Times from Perth.

Game - (Status RARE):

This game should be known because it was from British Championship. West Australian William Viner travelled to British to joint the tournament, but technically beaten by Blackburne. Viner done a blunder in the final phase of game allowing Blackburne to easily continued his kingside attack. The commentary was preserved in the game viewer for reader convenience.
