Falkbeer as chess journalist
A comment about Falkbeer in a chess book made me wonder. In discussing his role
as a chess journalist in England and Germany, a modern writer says that he brought
"mehr schlecht als Recht" into his column. Anyone know what gave rise to this
negative view of Falkbeer? I know he had a column in The Sunday Times, and that
Staunton resented this as he resented all foreigners having columns, but know
little about what he actually wrote.
