Samuel Tinsley
Samuel Tinsley (13 January 1847 – 26 February 1903) was an English chess player and writer born in South Mimms, Hertfordshire.[1]
Unlike most masters, he did not take up chess until late in life, beginning to play the game seriously well into his forties.[2] His most notable achievements include sharing seventh prize at Manchester, 1890 with Simon Alapin and Theodor von Scheve.[2] He played in the celebrated Hastings 1895 tournament, one of the strongest tournaments held up until that date, but finished 20th–21st out of 22 players.[2]
Tinsley was the chess columnist for The Times,[3] and after he died in London in 1903[1] his three sons took on that work.[3] In 1912 his son Edward (1869–1937) took sole charge.[3]
