The game was published on page 100 of 1 P-KB4 (A Guide to Bird’s Opening) by R.E. Robinson (Liverpool, 1950), but we now note that in our item on pages 56-57 of Chess Facts and Fables White’s name was given as Vine instead of Viney.
On page 13 of his introduction Robinson wrote:
‘The hitherto unpublished photograph of Bird which forms the frontispiece has been reproduced from an original photograph kindly sent to me for the purpose by the Rev. H.E. Bird of Southsea, a nephew of the Master.’
