Yes, it looks like there are indeed two history teachers named David Eltis. Matters were made confusing because Eton College does not maintain webpages on individual faculty members, and the most prominent David Eltis besides the inventor of this game is a history professor. Also, Eton College has a confusing name. It is not really a college, which is typically a four-year post-secondary school for young adults. In the American language, Eton is a private boarding school for teenage boys. It is what the British call a public school. Thus, the inventor of Flying Chess is someone who knows, and has known, many boys throughout his career, and this makes it likely that the comments I thought of as suspicious were genuine.
