Every Saturday, The Sydney Morning Herald provided chess column, since early 1910s.

Game:
William Samuel Viner vs J. Ellis Parry 1-0, British Championship 1914
Sicilian Defence Maroczy Bind Accelerated Dragon
I couldn't find this game in online database, neither the 1914 British Championship. So I will label this as rare game of William Viner. The opponent was J. Ellis Parry, which name appeared on several records in British Chess Magazine.
