Biographical data Name: Meikle, Christopher   Born: Died: 1906   Notes: Staunton (The Chess Tournament, p.lxi, and Chess Player's Chronicle, 1851, p.283) has a C. Meickle of Edinburgh as a subscriber of the Great Tournament of 1851, who is probably the same person. The Globe (1877.01.06) has a player whose name might be 'Meicle, C.' in the East v. West of Scotland match, but is very hard to read on a poor microfilm copy.   References Books    Forster, Amos Burn, page 965    Gaige, Chess Personalia, page 277 Periodicals    [BCM], vol. 10, no. 5, May 1890, page 186    [CLCM], vol. 1, no. 7, Aug. 1874, page 164    [CPC], vol. 10, no. 7, July 1849, page 196    [CPC], vol. 12, no. 9, Sep. 1851, page 283    [CPC], vol. 13, no. 8, Aug. 1852, page 229    [CPC], vol. 1, no. 10, Oct. 1853, page 312    [CPC], vol. 4, no. 10, Aug. 1875, page 312    [Fld], 18 July 1874    [FLIN], 24 Sep. 1859    [ILN], vol. 21, no. 568, 10 July 1852, page 27    [ILN], vol. 58, no. 1651, 20 May 1871, page 499    [ILN], vol. 58, no. 1653, 3 June 1871, page 555, 555    [ILN], vol. 62, no. 1756, 26 Apr. 1873, page 403    [ILN], vol. 66, no. 1860, 3 Apr. 1875, page 331    [Reg], vol. 1, no. 12, Dec. 1849, page 371    [WP], vol. 4, no. 2, 1 June 1871, page 19    [WP], vol. 7, no. 4, 1 Aug. 1874, page 66    [WP], vol. 7, no. 12, 1 Apr. 1875, page 238 Web    McGowan, Alan.  [Scottish Championship 1890]
