"After 78 per cent, on top board at the Chess Olympiad last year in Yugoslavia, Wolfgang Unzicker, German champion, was a general favourite for first place, but his success—a well-deserved one—ran no smooth passage. A. R. B. Thomas, promoted from the 1949-50 Premier Reserves, who demonstrated with verve that gambit openings and allied play can unsettle still, missed scoring a brilliant win and Rossolimo had definite winning prospects in his last round encounter with Unzicker. With little doubt, Unzicker is the best player produced by Germany since Lasker and Tarrasch. His style, so direct, so simple in development, so forcible—reminding one again and again of the dogmatic Tarrasch—hides a considerable subtlety. Rossolimo is suffering from an overdose of chess tournaments—since the previous Hastings, Beverwijk, Mar del Plata, Gijon, Venice, Amsterdam! O'Kelly’s first visit to an English tourney demonstrated solid characteristics though his last round encounter with Phillips also showed that he possesses a combinative touch. So it should be with a disciple of Rubinstein.
