Hi Cheryl,
The title of "Bristol" was given to this single opening move by Andrew Anderson, the celebrated author, world draughts champion and stocking-weaver by trade in his home village of Carluke. This was in respect to the players of that English City for help rendered with the preparation of his 2nd Edition of his Guide in 1852.
Regards, "Pal" Bucker
