Biography
John Healy born 1943 is an Irish writer and former tournament chess player. Born in London to Irish immigrant parents, Healy left school at 14 and joined the army, where he had a successful boxing career. After being dishonourably discharged, Healy became homeless and struggled with alcoholism for 15 years. During this time, he learned chess from a fellow inmate while in prison and discovered a natural talent for the game.
Healy quit drinking and, with the help of his former Probation Officer, Clive Soley, began to turn his life around. He became a highly-rated chess player, able to play four games simultaneously while blindfolded. In addition to his chess career, Healy published a book on chess tactics and wrote his autobiography, "The Grass Arena," which won several awards, including the J. R. Ackerley Award for Literary Autobiography.
