29 January 1904: Chess. The undecided game between Sir Walter Parratt and Professor Fisher in the match Windsor v. Egham reported in our last issue has been adjudicated a win for Sir Walter making the full score 7 to 2 in Windsor’s favor. The following incident was recorded in “Tit Bits”, last week – ‘Many good stories are told of Sir Walter Parratt, the Master of the King’s Music. Here is one illustrative of his extraordinary memory. Some eight or ten men were assembled one evening in one of the lodgings attached to St Michael’s College, Tenbury. Sir Walter Parratt and Herr von Holst played in turn upon the piano such music as was asked for. This went on for some time, until at last the chess-board was brought out. Sir Walter then proposed to play two men at chess in consultation, still remaining at the piano and playing from memory what was demanded, either from Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, or Mendelssohn. Without even a glance at the chess-board he won the game in an hour.’
