143 pages with tables, diagrams and bibliography. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. The 13th Christmas Congress held in 1932-33 was the first Hastings tournament in which all of the game scores were preserved.

Many of the famous and instructive games which were played at Hastings during the 1932-1939 period are annotated in this book, often by the players themselves. Especially noteworthy is the 1936-1937 tournament, for which no tournament book has previously been published. Condition: Old price sticker to front wrapper else near fine.
