James Hanham
Major James Moore Hanham (January 4, 1840 Woodville, Mississippi – December 30, 1923 New York, New York)〔Jeremy Gaige, ''Chess Personalia: A Biobibliography'', McFarland & Company, 1987, p. 161. ISBN 0-7864-2353-6.〕 was an American chess master, who played in many American and international chess tournaments between 1884 and 1889. He fought on the side of the North during the American Civil War, reaching the rank of Major. He is remembered today for several innovations in the opening, particularly the Hanham Variation of Philidor's Defense (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 Nd7).
==Military service, appearance==
Although a Mississippian, Hanham fought for the Union Army during the Civil War. He saw action at Fort Pickens and Baton Rouge, and was promoted to the rank of Major. After the war, he moved to Manhattan.〔(James Moore Hanham )〕
A writer in the ''New York Times'', describing the players in the Sixth American Chess Congress (1889), portrayed him as follows:〔(Chess Note 5710 (quoting "The Chessboard Kings: Ways and Looks of 20 Great Players", ''New York Times'', June 16, 1889, p. 8). )〕
Major Hanham is a little, nervous man, who hates to sit still. He won his title during the war of the rebellion. He was one of the dudes of the tournament, and was always dressed in the latest style, with a carefully polished silk hat and neatly trimmed beard.
