Sacred to the Memory OF
Alexander Mcdonnell
FFUIWeTIV OJ beIJdStI,
Who died 18th September, 1885.

Aged 81 Years.
Tis a simple inscription and It
tells the chance visitor to Kensal
Green Cemetery, London, nothing
Of the greatness Of the man who has
been sleeping there exactly 10l years
to the day come Monday.
But on the Island of st. Helena, ]
am told, there is another grave, char
acterized by simplicity and on the
sun-bleached slab of marble Is only q
single word-Napoleon Yet all the
world knows a bit Of the story of the
amazing career of this empire mad
genius, now venerated for his ex-
traordinary military acumen.
Alexander Mcdonnell, like Napo-
lean, was a fighter. But his battle
field was the chessboard, and the one
thing the two had in common was
their mutual love for chess-and there
the comparison ends.
Near the chapel in the Kensal
Green Cemetery Is the grave of a
Frenchman, a humble affair, marked
only by a common headstone, upon
which you may read these words:
Louis Charles de Labourdonnais,
The Celebrated Chess Player,
Died 18th December 1910.
Aged 43 Years.
And this is the story ...
In 1884, the Irishman, Nc
Donnell, was conceded to be
one Of Britain's greatest living
chess players. Across the Eng
lish Channel was France,
boasting the renowned French
master, De Labourdonnais.

paladins should meet at the West.

SO games in all. According to the
spirit Of the times. the winner would
be the unofficial chess champion of
the world.
Louis Labourdonnais emerged from
the titanic struggle victorious, with
A wins. Alexander Mcdonnell had
scored 80 wins and there were IA

Possibly 1t was the strain under
which he labored, perhaps it was the
