Henry Bird

Henry Edward Bird

Henry Edward Bird (Portsea, 14 luglio 1830Londra, 11 aprile 1908) è stato uno scacchista britannico.

Di lui, si soleva dire che: "viveva per gli scacchi e avrebbe giocato con chiunque in ogni dove, in ogni momento e sottostando a qualunque condizione...". Nel 1876, al grande torneo "Clipper" di New York (vinto da James Mason), Bird ricevette il primo premio di bellezza per la partita contro Mason. Fu il primo premio di bellezza riconosciuto ufficialmente in un torneo.

Fu persona eccentrica e di grande creatività. Nel 1872 creò una variante del gioco degli scacchi inserendo due nuovi pezzi, su una scacchiera 8x10. Scrisse molto, anche. Fra le sue opere, non sempre a tema scacchistico, si ricordano: "Chess History and Reminiscences" e "An Analysis of Railways in the United Kingdom".

Rese popolare l'apertura 1. f4 (conosciuta oggi come apertura Bird) nonché la difesa 3... Cd4 contro la Partita Spagnola: 1.e4 e5 2.Cf3 Cc6 3.Ab5 Cd4!?.
