A significant figure in the history of Queen's Park Chess Club, Glasgow (formed 1873), and the club's first president. He was a regular visitor for 49 years, occupying latterly the position of Hon. President.

Also associated with Glasgow Chess Club, of which he was a member for over 40 years.

It is a wonder Dr Duncan had time for any chess activities at all, considering the number of public roles with which he was connected.

From the British Medical Journal 1922, July 15, pages 112-113:
