Have you heard of Henry Bird? He was one of the strongest chess players during the 1800s and he championed the Bird's Opening. He was invited to most of the strongest chess tournaments of that time and had much success. He is one of my favourite chess players . Is he one of yours?

I looked at the games of Bird at London 1851 and Hastings 1895 on these posts:
