Royal octavo (9" x 7") London and Midland Chess Bulletin, Supplement Number 1. (Betts: 25-188) First edition. The 45 games of the Premier, each with commentary and/or annotations; with score tables of other sections in the congress and five games without notes from these sections. 1. Rossolimo; 2. Konig; 3. Muhring. This was the fourth Hastings Christmas Congress since its post-war revival, and it looked to be one of the weaker editions. The previous year's Hastings champion Laszlo Szabo, the only grandmaster strength invitee, withdrew before the start of the tournament due to illness. The "Supplement to London and Midland Chess Bulletins" warned that the fabled Hastings Congress was in danger of becoming "just another chess tournament", because the organizers failed to supply a purse rich enough to attract any real stars. The city of Hastings managed to raise £250 to fund the event. The "Supplement" regarded this to be an inadequate sum. They pointed out that the publicity value to the city justified a more lucrative purse. They also criticized the organizers for failing to use their "personal influence" to woo foreign masters who might agree to play for a smaller prize. Nonetheless, the Premier section still featured an intriguing mix of foreign and local masters. Hungarian born Imre König had resided in England since 1938, and thus proved a convenient choice to replace Szabó at the last minute. His current form was anyone's guess. He hadn't competed since June 1946, when he lost both his games to Vasily Smyslov in the (USSR-Great Britain Radio Match), but he had previously managed a respectable fourth place in the strong London B (1946) "victory tournament." he Ukrainian born French champion Nicolas Rossolimo had recently shared second with Pal Benko at , drawn a match with Savielly Tartakower, and beaten Israel Albert Horowitz in one of only two decisive games in the drawn .7 Dutchman Jan Muhring had shared second with Henri Grob and G.A. Thomas at (Hastings 1947/1948), behind Szabó. The Estonian Paul Felix Schmidt had once been competitive with the likes of Klaus Junge and Paul Keres, but his post-war form was suspect. His only accomplishment in the past year had been to finish second at the minor (Leeuwarden 1948) tournament. New Zealand champion Bob Wade had warmed up for Hastings by finishing second at a pair of autumn Dutch tournaments, (Baarn Major Group 1948) and (Hertogenbosch 1948). Of the local English hopes, G.A. Thomas and Baruch Wood looked to be the leading lights. Thomas had shared second in the previous Hastings Congress,8 and both had shared second in the 1948 (British Championship), behind Reginald Joseph Broadbent. Perennial Scottish champion William Fairhurst had finished fifth at (Hastings 1947/1948),8 and most recently had drawn his game with Maurice Edwards Goldstein in the (England-Australia Radio Match 1948). Sir Theodore Henry Tylor had enjoyed some prominence before World War Two, but his recent form was sporadic. He had only played twice since 1946, scoring +0 -1 =1 vs Ludek Pachman in the (Midlands Counties-Czechoslovakia Match 1947); and +1 -1 =0 vs Chris Vlagsma in the (England-Netherlands Match 1948). William Winser had the look of a rank outsider. He hadn't played since he finished sixth in the Premier Reserves B section of the previous year's Hastings Congress, three classes below the Premier tournament he now contested. His presence might help explain the astonishment of the "Supplement to London and Midland Chess Bulletins" that Conel Hugh O'Donel Alexander had not been included: "We. must confess ourselves stupefied by the failure to invite Alexander, twice a prize-winner in this event, for he is still one of the greatest British masters." On December 30 the Mayor of Hastings hosted a civic reception in the Town Hall. Mr. Neill Cooper-Key, the Conservative M.P. for Hastings, ma.…
