Tournament Review

On November 20 the congress committee (president the Mayor of Hastings, chairman Mr. Percy Morren) postponed the congress because of the international situation. Originally two Soviet grandmasters were invited. Now the behaviour and friendliness of all our Soviet chess guests have been impeccable. No British chessplayer would associate them personally with the current events in Hungary. The Hastings committee I feel sure did not want to expose Soviet chess players to hostile demonstrations. The committee also did not want to cancel only the Soviet invitations. They wanted the door kept open for future participation of Soviet grandmasters. A dilemma. This explains the reasoning behind the unprecedented postponement.
