May-22-08  Maatalkko: Jude Acers claims to have met this guy in 1956, 1865 can't be the correct date, unless McAuley is literally "immortal" or there are two A L McAuley's around...

  Phony Benoni: I'd be inclined to call it a typo in the year. There aren't many Blackmar-Diemer Gambits from 1865.

There was an A.L. McAuley at the 1954 US Open in New Orleans, probably the one Acers mentioned. He didn't have a great result, but did defeat a young Edmar Mednis who was already rated around 2350.

  NM JRousselle: If this is the Adrian McAuley that I know, he was one of the nicest guys to play the game. The late Mac was a plumber by trade and still holds the record with 9 La State titles.

  Phony Benoni: <NM JRousselle> I'm sure it is, but I would like to ask you to jog the memory for a bit to be sure.

1) The game on this page is a Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, played by mail. Would that have been something McAuley would do?

2) The Social Security Death Index lists two Adrian McAuleys, both from Arabi in St. Bernard Parish near New Orleans (possibly a father-son situation):

Adrian L McAuley
9/24/1921-10/19/2000

Adrian McAuley
12/29/1946-11/25/1998

I assume the elder McAuley was the chess master, since Acers mentions meeting him in 1956. Would that be right?

  Phony Benoni: The game with Mednis is now in the database:

A L McAuley vs Mednis, 1954

Recommended.

Nov-26-12  wordfunph: perfect tournament by McAuley in the 1960 New Orleans City Championship, 8/8!
May-10-13  LLMcAuley: There are 4 A L McAuleys! The original, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. The elder was the chest player... My grandfather. His son, my father, died before him.
May-10-13  Shams: <LLMcAuley> Do you know who played the 1865 game by any chance?
