In the game given below Rumens, who finished equal first in the final round, checkmated his opponent and he apparently did so within the legal time-limit of the tournament of two hours for each player in which to make his first 36 moves. It happened, however, that within the moment of time it took him to stop his clock after having made his move the flag of the clock fell, which meant that more than two hours were registered for the 36 moves made. To make sure what the correct decision should be in the unusual circumstances an appeal has been made to the British and International Federations for a ruling, but the official "Laws of Chess" already state clearly that when the prescribed number of moves has been made in the given time the last move is not considered as made until after the player has stopped his clock. An additional curious point is that the game was awarded the prize for the best game of the competition, but whether now to Rumens (who lost on the time-limit?) or to Mobbs [sic - typo for Mabbs] (who was checkmated?) remains to be seen."} 1-0

{When David Mabbs rushed up to me and told me that the black king had been driven to KR5 in each of his first two games in Premier Reserves A at Hastings, I was only mildly interested. "Was this a record?" I doubted it. Chess is as full of records as cricket or baseball. It was also at Hastings this year that R. E. Rushbrook told me he had played twenty-six moves before exchanging anything at all in a recent game. "Was this a record?" Somebody present immediately capped it by claiming he had once played forty moves before the first piece or pawn went; and if I were to appeal seriously for counter-claims, the figure would probably shoot up to eighty or ninety. When I played through the games I woke up. Mabbs’s enterprising style earns them publication in their own right. Moreover, there certainly is a curious flavour in the coincidence he points out.} 1. d4 e6 2. e4 d5 3. Nd2 f5 4. e5 b6 5. c3 Qd7 6. Nh3 Ba6 7. Bxa6 Nxa6 8. Qe2 Nb8 9.

However, there is no record of either player having taken part in the congress and David Mabbs has confirmed to me that he didn't go to Whitby and can't remember where it's from, so CHESS Magazine has it completely wrong. I've had a look around various reference books for a possible encounter between the two elsewhere. One possibility is that White was actually Gerald Homer (more likely than A L Homer as given in the magazine, who was aged 70 then and a much weaker player). Gerald Homer and David Mabbs were both present during the CHESS Festival at Eastbourne, albeit David may only have been there for one day. He played in and won a lightning tournament on 5 September 1964. Gerald Homer was present at the congress - he won the Premier Week 2 event. I have no evidence he played in the lightning event so it's just a guess at this stage - JS} 0-1
