Re: British Championship Chester 1914
Nice work, Gerard. I've added these two games to the BritBase.info collection for the 1914 British Championship. Thankfully, when copying and pasting the PGN, I managed to spot your deliberate error just in time - Cox-Stuchbery was 0-1.

Re: British Championship Chester 1914
The best source (apart from The Field) that I found for Chester 1914 was Jacob Schumer's column in the Saturday Westminster Gazette, one of the few that didn't end when war broke out. He was a competitor in Chester of course.
One of the Chester papers I read in the old British Newspaper Library (I forget which now) had absolutely zero on the chess congress. War dominated its pages.

There is an interesting biography of R. G. Dixon Addey here

Thanks, Gerard. I've added the games to the 1914 British Championship page at BritBase and put in a link to the Addey biographical info.
