Tournament Review

n.b. there are discrepancies between the crosstable given in CHESS (Vol.20 No.238, p185) and the scores for this tournament in BCM (February 1955, p69). CHESS shows Lloyd as drawing with Gray but we have a game score of Lloyd losing that game and the comment in BCM that Gray was the only unbeaten player, making seven draws. There is the result of the game Gray-Sales marked 'x' in the CHESS crosstable in one place and '½' in the other, which makes no sense. I have done my best to make sense of these discrepancies as shown above. EDIT: I've just found the correction (CHESS, Vol.20 No.239, p203) which confirms that Ken Lloyd lost to Gray who drew with Tidmarsh. This corroborates my interpretation of the crosstable.
