Tournament Review

The Twenty-fifth Annual Hastings Congress was opened at 3.45 p.m. on December 29th [1949] by Lord Simon at the White Rock Pavilion. With 137 competitors the Congress was clearly maintaining its popularity amongst the average player and with a marked increase in strength in the foreign masters taking part some fine chess could be expected. This last circumstance was due to an increase in the corporation grant that enabled the organizers to make the prizes in the Premier Section really handsome (1st £60, 2nd £50, 3rd £40, and 4th £30). Considering the shortness of the Congress the prizes now compare very well with those given abroad, though it seems to be time that the reward for games won by non-prize winners should now be brought more in line with those awarded on the Continent. The usual amount is £2, at Hastings it was 10 shillings and I suggest this should be increased to £1.
