"British Chess Association. The list of the managing, standing, and cooperative committees for the <Grand International Chess Congress and Tournament of 1862> has just appeared, and presents an array of names which, while pleasingly testifying the extraordinary interest excited by the project, amply guarantees its efficient fulfilment. Want of space forbids our publication this week of all the names; but the following, which are those of the standing committee, and will show that no apprehension need be entertained of the present year’s meeting falling short of its famous predecessor of 1851 The Right Hon. Earl Granville, his Grace the Duke of Manchester, Lord Lyttelton...<Wellington Pulling>, Esq...George Walker, Esq.; the Rev. W. Wayte T. H. Worrall, Esq.; Marmaduke Wyvill, Esq., M.P...."

<George Christopher Pulling was born in 1766 and joined the Navy in 1780. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1790 and in 1792, whilst serving in Newfoundland, he investigated the poor relationships between the settlers and the native Beothuk Indians. He recorded violent acts against the Indians and fostered better relations between them and the settlers.

In 1798 he attained the rank of Commander and in 1801 while in command of the Brig Kangaroo (18), in the company of the Sparrow (14) commanded by the intrepid Lord Cochrane, attacked a Spanish convoy sheltering in Old Castille. They destroyed a shore battery, sunk or drove off seven gun boats and carried off three brigs laden with rice, wine and bread.

He was promoted to Captain in 1802 and died in 1819. There is a monument to him in St. Arvans Church, Monmouthshire.>
