He made it through to the final of the first international chess tournament, held in London in 1851 , but lost to Adolf Anderssen , 4.5-2.5. Wyvill was elected Member Of Parliament for Richmond, North Yorkshire in 1847 . In a chess game, Wyvill formation refers to a pawn formation in which White has no b pawn, a pawn at c3 and c4, and the d-pawn at d4 or d5 (Some authorities require a Black pawn to be at c5). White's c4 pawn is a weakness because it cannot be supported by other pawns. |
