p294. Charles Warburton's book 'My Chess Adventures' describes what happened
next. "Abrahams, in his excitement, let out an exultant whoop and rising
noisily from his seat danced merrily round the neighbouring tables to the
consternation of many players and the horror of the stewards. Play was stopped
as were clocks until after several minutes calm and peace were restored and
ruffled feathers reset. All this to the great glee of the spectators." (Quoted
in 'A History of Lancashire Chess' (2009) by MJ Conroy, p193} 1/2-1/2
