Cant say I have, he was one of the few people who actually put into chess praxis a daring gambit that was invented by Captain Tennison who was a rather swashbuckling American civil war curiosity. He deserted from the North to fight for the South because he fancied a Southern Belle who could not contemplate marrying a Yankee. Upon his desertion he was hotly pursued and only narrowly escaped capture. On entering the South he was captured and almost hung for being a spy. He gives his name to the Tennsion gambit, adopted by Wolfgang much to his enjoyment. It begins 1.Nf3 d5 2.e4!? and is held to be slightly dubious.
