Tournament Review

"THE HASTINGS NEW YEAR TOURNAMENT. The meeting of the Present and Past British Champions duly came off under the aegis of the Hastings Chess Club, from December 30th to January 5th. F. D. Yates, of Yorkshire, who won the championship in 1913 and 1914 proved to be the winner, after a close contest, by half a point. His play was generally the soundest and most correct.
