Staunton took Thomas Worrall and Harry Wilson to Paris as his assistants; this is the first known case where seconds were used in a chess match.
Staunton gained a seven-game lead but then struggled to keep it before winning the match 13-8 (eleven wins, four draws, and six losses) in December 1843.
Saint-Amant wanted a third match, but Staunton was initially unwilling as he had developed heart trouble during the second match.
After a long, difficult negotiation, which he reported in the Chess Player's Chronicle, Staunton went to Paris intending to start their third match in October 1844, but he caught pneumonia while traveling and almost died; the match was postponed and never took place.
Several modern commentators regard Staunton as de facto World Champion after his match victory over Saint-Amant, although that title did not yet formally exist.
In 1845 Staunton began a chess column for the Illustrated London News, which became the most influential chess column in the world and which he continued for the rest of his life.
Although his articles mostly focused on over-the-board play, a significant number featured correspondence chess.
Staunton produced over 1,400 weekly articles for the Illustrated London News.
The first chess match by electric telegraph took place in 1844, between Washington and Baltimore.
In April 1845 Staunton and Captain Kennedy travelled to Gosport to play two games by telegraph against a group in London.
Staunton took a long-term interest in this solution to the difficulties of travel, and reported telegraph games in the Illustrated London News.
In 1871 his report of a telegraphic match between Sydney and Adelaide calculated that the 74 moves of the longest game had traveled a total of 220,000 miles (not much less than the distance between Earth and Moon).
In 1847 Staunton published his most famous work, The Chess-Player's Handbook, which is still in print.
It contained over 300 pages of opening analysis, and almost 100 pages of endgame analysis.
He still found time for two matches in 1846, comfortably beating two professionals.
London 1851
Staunton proposed and then took the lead in organizing the first ever international tournament in 1851.
He thought the Great Exhibition of 1851 presented a unique opportunity, because the difficulties that blocked international participation would be greatly reduced.
The tournament was a success, but disappointing for Staunton personally; in the second round he was knocked out by Anderssen, who won the tournament convincingly; and in the play-off for third place Staunton was narrowly beaten by Elijah Williams.
Perhaps Staunton over-stretched himself by acting as both a competitor and the Secretary of the organizing committee.
In 1852 Staunton published his book The Chess Tournament, which recounted in detail the efforts required to make the London International Tournament happen and presented all the games with his comments on the play.
The London Chess Club, which had fallen out with Staunton and his colleagues, organized a tournament that was played a month later and had a multi-national set of players, many of whom had competed in Staunton's tournament.
The result was the same – Anderssen won.
In the mid-1850s Staunton got a contract to edit the text of Shakespeare.
This edition appeared in parts from 1857 to 1860; the work was praised in reviews.
While Staunton was busy with the Shakespeare edition, he received a courteous letter from the New Orleans Chess Club, inviting him to that city to play Paul Morphy, who had won the first American Chess Congress.
Staunton replied, thanking the Club and Morphy "for the honour implied in your selection of me as the opponent of such a champion".
Staunton pointed out that he had not competed for several years and was working six days a week (on editing Shakespeare), and so he could not possibly travel across the Atlantic for a match.
He also wrote in the Illustrated London News that he
"had been compelled, by laborious literary occupation, to abandon the practice of chess, beyond the indulgence of an occasional game... If Mr. Morphy – for whose skill we entertain the liveliest admiration – be desirous to win his spurs among the chess chivalry of Europe, he must take advantage of his purposed visit next year; he will then meet in this country, in France, in Germany and in Russia, many champions ... ready to test and do honor to his prowess".
Chess historian H.J.R. Murray wrote that Staunton's letter and article should have been interpreted as a courteous refusal of the offer, but that Morphy interpreted them differently, and one of the main reasons for his visit to Europe in 1858 was the hope of playing a match with Staunton.p415
Upon arriving in England in June 1858, Morphy promptly challenged Staunton to a match.
At first, Staunton declined Morphy's offer saying that the challenge came too late.
Morphy did not give up negotiations and urging Staunton to play.
In early July Staunton agreed provided he was given time to get back into practice, and provided that he could manage all this without breaking the publication contract for his Shakespearean work.
In early August, Morphy wrote asking Staunton when the match could occur, and Staunton asked again for a delay of some weeks.
Just before Staunton left London for Birmingham, his old enemy George Walker published an article accusing him of trying to delay the match indefinitely, and Staunton received another letter from Morphy pressing him to name a date for the match.
Staunton and Morphy met socially in Birmingham and, after a tense discussion, Staunton agreed to play in early November.
In September the Illustrated London News printed both a complimentary full-page article about Morphy and a complimentary mention of him in its chess column.
On 6 October 1858, while in Paris  Morphy wrote Staunton an open letter which was also circulated to several publications, in which Morphy complained about Staunton's conduct.
Staunton replied on 9 October, re-stating the difficulties he faced, but now giving them as reasons to cancel the match.
On 23 October, Staunton published his entire reply along with a partial copy of Morphy's open letter.
The main criticism against Staunton was never his failure to play Morphy.
As Lord Lyttleton put it in a letter to Morphy:
"In the general circumstances of the case, I conceive that Mr. Staunton was quite justified in declining the match... I cannot but think that... Mr. Staunton might have told you of this long before he did... It seems to me plain... that Mr. Staunton gave you every reason to suppose that he would be ready to play the match within no long time...."
Staunton continued writing the chess column in Illustrated London News until his death in 1874, greeting new developments with enthusiasm.
In 1860 he published Chess Praxis, a supplement to his 1847 work The Chess Player's Handbook.
The new book devoted 168 pages to presenting many of Morphy's games and praised the American's play.
Five years later Staunton published Great Schools of England (1865), whose main subject was the history of major English public schools but which also presented some progressive ideas: learning can only take place successfully if the active interest of the student is engaged; corporal punishment is to be avoided and fagging should be abolished.
Most of his later life was spent in writing about Shakespeare, including: a photo lithographic reproduction of the 1600 Much Ado about Nothing in 1864 and of the first folio of Shakespeare in 1866.
He wrote articles on Unsuspected corruptions of Shakespeare's text, published from 1872 to his death.
All these works were highly regarded at the time.
When he died suddenly of heart disease, on 22 June 1874, he was at his desk writing one of these papers.
At the same time he was also working on his last chess book, Chess: theory and practice, which was published posthumously in 1876.
A memorial plaque now hangs at his old residence of 117 Lansdowne Road, London W11.
In 1997 a memorial stone bearing an engraving of a chess knight was raised over his grave at Kensal Green Cemetery in London, which had previously been unmarked and neglected.
Syncope is the medical term for fainting or blacking out.
It is a sudden loss of consciousness, usually for a short time.
It is mostly because there is not enough oxygen in the brain.
It can be for other reasons.
Fainting is quite common.
It usually happens in two age ranges: the teenage years, and during older age.
The chance of a person fainting at least once in a lifetime is about 40 to 50 percent.
Syncope causes 1 to 3 percent of all attendances to emergency departments and 1 to 6 percent of all hospital admissions.
The English opening, usually just called the English, is a chess opening for players with the white pieces.
It has become the third most popular opening move, after 1.e4 and 1.d4.
The opening was developed by the English master Howard Staunton, and played in his match against Saint-Amant.p124
As a first move this may transpose back to a QP opening: 1.c4 Nf6 2.d4.
That would not be an English opening.
The English is a system of development, flexible but including some or all of these moves:
QN to c3
KB fianchettoed on g2
KN to f3 or e2
QP to d3
R to b1 followed by b2-b4-b5
Variation 1.
1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 g6 3.g3 Bg7 4.Bg2 0-0 5.d3 d6 6.Nf3 e5 7.0-0 Nc6 8.Rb1 a5 9.a3 h6 10.b4 axb4 11.axb4 Be6 12.b5 This sequence shows the system fully in operation.
White operates in the centre and Q-side; Black operates more on the K-side.
Variation 2.
Variation 3.
1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 e6 3.e4 d5 4.cxd5 exd5 5.e5 Here 5...d4, 5...Ne4 and 5...Nfd7 are most often played.
This is a quite different line, where the two sides clash early in the centre.
Since White does not have to play 3.e4, he could avoid this line.

A preparatory school (or prep school) is a term in school education.
Its use varies in different parts of the world.
In the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries, it is a fee-paying private school which prepares students for the entrance exam to public schools.
Such schools take children at 11, who may go to public schools at 14 years of age.
This is in contrast to the state school system, where children go from primary school to secondary school at 11 years of age.
Many public schools now run their own prep schools, and some have entry at 11 rather than 14.
In the United States it is a private school which prepares students for college.
For example, Village School (Great Neck, New York) is a preparatory school.

The NOR gate is a logic gate that outputs 1 (true) when both of its inputs are 0 (false).
That means that if at least one of its inputs is 1 (true), the output will be 0.
The XOR gate (Exclusive OR) is a logic gate that outputs 1 (true) when exactly one of its inputs is 1 (true).
That means that if both of its inputs are the same, the output will be 0 (false).
The XOR gate does what is called an exclusive disjunction in logic.

Tigran Petrosian  (Tbilisi, Georgia, 17 June 1929 – Moscow, 13 August 1984) was World Chess Champion from 1963 to 1969.
He was born to Armenian parents, and brought up in the capital of Armenia, Yerevan.p103 Before his chess career, he was a street cleaner.
Petrosian got the USSR national master title in 1947, and his chess improved rapidly when he moved to Moscow that year.
By coming second in the 1951 USSR championship he qualified for the FIDE Interzonal tournament in Stockholm next year.
There, he qualified for the World Championship Candidates tournament in Zurich 1953.
He came fifth, and was awarded the title of International Grandmaster.p299
Years followed when he made no visible progress, and others had the chance to challenge for the world title.
Vasily Smyslov and Mikhail Tal both won the world title, yet lost it back to Botvinnik in return matches.
At last, in 1962, Tigran won the Candidates tournament, and became the new challenger to Botvinnik.
Petrosian also won the very strong Soviet Championship four times, in 1959 (Tbilisi), 1961 (Moscow), 1969 (Moscow), and 1975 (Yerevan).p118
The World Championship
Before the title match started, FIDE changed the rules so that somebody who lost the world championship in a match would not automatically get a return match.
The rule that allowed for return matches had been criticised for giving Botvinnik too great an advantage over his rivals.
In the match Petrosian started shakily, losing the first game and just escaping with a draw in the second game.
From then on he was in control, and won the match (best of 24 games) by +5 –2 =15.
In 1966 he defended the title against Boris Spassky, and won 12½–11½. The victory was rather more emphatic than the score suggests.
In 1969 Spassky was again the challenger, and this time Petrosian lost 10½–12½.
Olympiads
Petrosian's record in Chess Olympiads was unsurpassed.
He played for the USSR in nine Olympiads, and this is a summary of his overall results: +79 –1 =50.p156–8
Style, personality
Petrosian was one of those players who set out to stifle the opponent's chances before they take action themselves.
He was a student of Nimzovich's ideas of prophylaxis.
Capablanca was another such player, but his chess was pure and simple.
Petrosian's was profound and complex.
He has been much admired by grandmasters, but was not so popular with lesser players.
Like Capablanca, he was somewhat lazy, and did not strive to win every game.
At his peak, he was the best player in the world at manoeuvring in complex positions, and an outstanding endgame player.p300

In the United States, almost all governors (leaders of the U.S. states) are able to use the line item veto.
Currently, the President of the United States is not able to use the line-item veto; however, the Presidents of Brazil and Belarus can.
President Bill Clinton was given the line-item veto by the United States Congress for a few years until the Supreme Court said that it was unconstitutional.
People who like the line-item veto say that it is good because it allows the President to remove unimportant waste from important legislation.
For example, it would be too dangerous to completely veto big pieces of legislation (like the budget for the military or the budget for other government departments), but with the line-item veto, the President could choose to keep what he or she thinks are the good parts of the bill and reject the bad parts of the bill.
People who do not like the line-item veto say that it is bad because it gives the President too much power over Congress and believe that it goes against the checks and balances created by the U.S. Constitution.
Other criticisms include the possibility that the president's individual vetoes of line items make the bill different than what Congress voted for.
Milton Friedman (July 31, 1912 – November 16, 2006) was an American economist.
He believed in monetarism.
Monetarism is the theory that how much money the government prints each year has a huge effect on the economy.
He supports the government printing the same low rate of money each year rather than a different amount each year.
Friedman was born in Brooklyn, New York to a Hungarian-Jewish family.
He was raised in Rahway, New Jersey.
Friedman studied at Rutgers University, at Columbia University, and at the University of Chicago.
He worked thirty years in Chicago with George Stigler as a leader of the Chicago school of economics.
Friedman believed that the government control over the economy should be limited.
He supported cutting taxes, lowering government spending, getting rid of government rules that limited the economy and letting parents choose which school their taxes paid for.
His political views were libertarian.
He was against forcing people to join the army, and said that getting rid of United States military conscription was the thing he was most proud of doing.
Throughout several decades, Friedman made many documentaries, books, and interviews to express his views to the public.
The main books he wrote were Capitalism and Freedom and Free to Choose.
Friedman married Rose Director in 1938.
Together, they had a son and a daughter.
He was agnostic.
Friedman died of heart failure in San Francisco, California, aged 94.
He was survived by his wife and his two children.
His remains were cremated and scattered over the San Francisco Bay area.

An electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons within an atom.
The electron configuration describes where the electrons are inside orbitals.
The structure of the Periodic table of elements is partly based on electron configuration.
There are four kinds of electron configurations: s, p, d, and f orbitals.
Each orbital can house a maximum of 2 electrons.
S orbitals are roughly sphere-shaped, p orbitals are polar and shaped like a dumbbell, d orbitals are usually shaped like a four-leaf clover, and f orbitals form a mathematically complex shape.
Orbitals can have different energy levels.
For example 1s is a low energy sphere-shaped orbital while 3s is a higher energy sphere-shaped orbital.
An atom can have more than one orbital; in fact, all except hydrogen do.
Similarly, atoms can have more than one of each kind of orbital.
The electron configurations fill up with electrons in an unchanging order.
They describe how the electrons behave and orbit the nucleus.
The , sometimes called Suikochō-jidai ("period of the Suiko court"), was a time in the history of Japan which lasted from around 538 through about 710.
There is some overlap with the Kofun period which came before.
There is also some overlap with the Nara period, which comes after.

Marie Byrd Land is a part of Antarctica.
It is between the Unclaimed Ross Ice Shelf and the Ross Sea to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the north.
It goes towards the east to a line between the head of the Ross Ice Shelf and Eights Coast.
It stretches between 158°W and 103°24'W. The area between the Rockefeller Plateau and Eights Coast is included.
This is because Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd had an important role in its exploration.
Admiral Byrd named the territory in 1929.
It was in honour of his wife.
He applied the name to the territory that was explored in that year.
The area is very remote, even for Antarctica.
Because of this, most of it (the east part of 150°W) has not been claimed by any country.
The territory is not a nation itself.
Because of this, it is the largest single unclaimed territory on Earth.
Together with Eights Coast, immediately to the east of Marie Byrd Land, it has an area of 1,610,000 km².
In 1939, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt told members of an Antarctic expedition to claim some Antarctic territory.
Members of this expedition and later ones seemed to do so, but no official claims were made before 1959, when the Antarctic Treaty System was set up.
Some maps in the United States have shown this as US territory.
The Defense Department of the US Government has also said that there was a solid basis for a claim for the territory.
This was because of the activities there before 1959.
Marie Byrd Land hosted the Operation Deep Freeze base Byrd Station (NBY; 80°S, 119°W).
This began in 1957, in the hinterland of Bakutis Coast.
Byrd Station was the only big base in the interior of West Antarctica for many years.
In 1968, the first ice core to fully go through the Antarctic Ice Sheet was drilled here.
The year-round station was left in 1972.
Between 1972 and 2008, the station was only occupied during the summer months.
It was named again as Byrd Surface Camp.
Byrd Station was opened again in 2009-2010.
This was to support operations in northern West Antarctica.
Byrd Station provided a template for the doomed Antarctic base in the horror movie John Carpenter's The Thing.
In 1998 and 1999, a camp was operated at the Ford Ranges (FRD) in western Marie Byrd Land.
The camp supported a part of an US Antarctic Program (USAP) airborne survey.
The survey was started by UCSB.
It was supported by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics.
In 2004-05, a large camp, Thwaites (THW), was made by the USAP 150 km north of NBY.
This was in order to support a large airborne geophysical survey of eastern Marie Byrd Land by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics.
In 2006, an important encampment, WAIS Divide (WSD) was made on the divide between the Ross Sea Embayment and the Amundsen Sea Embayment.
This was in easternmost Marie Byrd Land.
This was made in order to drill a high resolution ice core over the next three years.
On Ruppert Coast of Marie Byrd Land is the Russian station Russkaya.
It was occupied 1980-1990.
It is also used as a summer-only station.
The American Ornithologists' Union (AOU) is an ornithological organization.
It is found in the USA.
Its members are mainly professional ornithologists.
It is similar to the National Audubon Society, except its members are mainly amateur birders.
It is a member of the Ornithological Council.
It has a journal, called The Auk.
It has been published since January, 1884.
Some of its other big publications are the AOU Checklist of North American Birds and a series, Ornithological Monographs.
The AOU Checklist of North American Birds is the standard reference for the field.
The South American Classification Committee (SACC) is a committee under the AOU.
It deals with creating a standard classification, with English names.
This is for the bird species of South America.

The 1876–1877 Constantinople Conference (or ‘Shipyard Palace Conference’, from the conference venue) of the Great Powers (Britain, Russia, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy) was held in Istanbul (Constantinople) from 23 December 1876 until 20 January 1877.
Following the Herzegovinian Rebellion started in 1875 and the Bulgarian Uprising in April 1876, the Great Powers agreed on a project for political reforms both in Bosnia and in the Ottoman territories with a majority Bulgarian population.
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland:
Lord Salisbury and Sir Henry Elliot;
Russian Empire:
Count Nikolay Ignatyev (historical spelling Nicolai Ignatieff);
Kingdom of France:
Count Jean-Baptiste de Chaudordy and Count François de Bourgoing;
Baron Karl von Werther;
Austro-Hungarian Empire:
Baron Heinrich von Calice and Count Ferenc Zichy;
Count Luigi (Lodovico) Corti.
Mithat Pasha, Saffet Pasha and Edhem Pasha.
Mithat Pasha was the Grand Vizier (First Minister), and Saffet Pasha the Foreign Minister of Turkey.
Although the Turkish representatives participated in the plenaries of the conference, they were not invited to the preceding working sessions at which the Great Powers negotiated their agreement.
Lord Salisbury and Count Ignatyev played a leading role in the process.
Ignatyev was trying to dispel British misgivings about Russia’s assumed role of a protector of the Orthodox Slavs being but a disguise of its drive to take over the Bosporus and Constantinople itself and thus – as Prime Minister Disraeli feared – potentially threaten the vital Mediterranean routes to British India.
On his part, Salisbury saw the conference as a promising opportunity for mapping out a comprehensive deal with Russia over their conflicting territorial ambitions in Central Asia.
The conference determined that, as of the late 19th century, the Bulgarian ethnic territories within the Ottoman Empire extended to the Danube Delta in the northeast, Kastoria in the southwest, Kirklareli and Edirne in the southeast, and Niš in the northwest.
These territories were to be incorporated into the two Bulgarian autonomous provinces as follows:
Eastern Bulgarian autonomous province, including the Ottoman sandjaks – second level administrative divisions – of Tarnovo, Ruse, Tulcea, Varna, Sliven, Plovdiv (bar the kazas – third level administrative divisions – of Ardino and Smolyan), and part of the Edirne sandjak including the kazas of Kirklareli, Svilengrad and Elhovo.
Western Bulgarian autonomous province, including the sandjaks of Sofia, Vidin, Niš, Skopje, Bitola (bar the kazas of Debar and Korçë), the Gotse Delchev, Melnik, and Sidirokastro kazas of the Serres sandjak, and the kazas of Strumica, Veles, Tikveš and Kastoria.
The Great Powers elaborated in detail the constitutional, legislative, executive, defense and law enforcement arrangements, cantonal administrative system, taxation, international supervision etc.
for the proposed autonomous provinces.
The agreed decisions of the six Great Powers were formally handed over to the Ottoman Government on 23 December 1876, dismissing the opening Turkish suggestions that the Conference's mission might have been obviated by a new Ottoman Constitution approved by Sultan Abdul Hamid II that same day.
In the subsequent conference plenary sessions Turkey submitted objections and alternative reform proposals that were rejected by the Great Powers, and attempts to bridge the gap did not succeed.
Eventually, on 18 January 1877 Grand Vizier Mithat Pasha announced the definitive refusal of Turkey to accept the conference decisions.

The Indian Removal Act was a law in the United States that was passed in 1830.
It was introduced by Hugh White and became a law when President Andrew Jackson signed it.
It gave the President the power to force Native American tribes to move to land west of the Mississippi River.
Not all American citizens liked the law.
Davy Crockett, a Congressman from Tennessee, hated the law.
Some tribes signed treaties with the United States and moved; others fought with the government, including the Cherokee Nations, which was forced to march west in 1838.
Their trip west is now called the "Trail of Tears".
