In the North of England they used to call this Blackburne's mate. Not because he invented it, but
because he probably played it more often than any other person. Tournaments were rare in those
days, and Blackburne kept himself in whiskey through simul tours of the UK for many months of the
year. He once estimated that while on tour he gave Legal's mate several times a week.

At one point he claimed to have played over 50,000 otb games (no speed) and at this point his
career had thirty more years to run.
