Although a pawn down, he is far from lost so presumably this is the point where he withdrew from the event, for personal reasons unconnected with the game. However this is probably the first published win by the future British champion and international master who was only fifteen at the start of the game.} 0-1

"We much regret to record the death of Dr. J. Schumer, who died from heart failure at his home in Golders Green on 14th inst.[14 December 1932], aged 63 years. Dr. Schumer was a man well versed in all branches of chess. A first-class player, a gifted problemist and a good writer on the game generally. He used to play for Hampstead and the National Liberal Club and he had for some years past acted as chess correspondent to a leading London paper, firstly the "Westminster Gazette," and lately the "News Chronicle." For this purpose he visited Hastings every Christmas. A chess journalist who saw Dr. Schumer just before his death has mentioned that in conversation the Doctor discussed the prospects of the present Hastings meeting, and showed all his old interest in this important Christmas event."

Burn, R. C. Griffith, and indeed all who could get near enough to the board. The unanimous opinion was that Black could safely play 29...RxRP, and though B. Kostich, who had by then joined in the discussion, at first dissented, he too came to see there was real ground for the contention. However, the matter was set at rest when Señor Capablanca and Sir G. A. Thomas themselves came along for another look at the posi­tion. It took Capablanca very little examination to concede the justice of the claim, both he and his opponent admitting they had quite overlooked the possibility of the move having anything in it. His comment to the writer was characteristic: "I am not one of those foolish people who make excuses for everything, it was a complete overeight." (The Times, 15 August 1919)}) 1-0

The game was scheduled to be played in the first round, 22 May, but reports indicate that Thomas played two other games, in advance of the schedule, on that day. Can Thomas have played three games in one day? I am wondering whether this game might have been played off on the following day, Sunday 23 May, when no other games were scheduled. JS} 0-1

{The score of this game is not available. It lasted 106 moves. The game given in early editions of Big/Mega Database is NOT this Hastings game, but another played between the same players at the "British Empire Club Tournament", London, October 1927. (The error arose due to a mistake in BCM, April 1928, p174, which was corrected in the next issue, p223) Thanks to Luc Winants for alerting me to this. The latest edition of Mega/Big Database 2020 shows that this error has subsequently been rectified. Also, note that the game was not actually played on 29 December as Colle did not arrive in Hastings until 30 December, but some days later (probably 1 Jan 1928).}  0-1

Through timidity and over-carefulness Lenton failed to press his advantage properly, and eventually weak play lost position and a Pawn, and he could only draw." (BCM)}  1/2-1/2

Kg5 {"Thomas had castled queen’s side against Milner-Barry’s king’s side castling, and, playing better than he has done recently, obtained considerably the superior game. Then he made a blunder; and matters came eventually to an endgame, rook and pawn versus rook, Milner-Barry having the pawn and a technical win, which he seemed temporarily to have forgotten how to bring about. At last he found the way, and Thomas resigned. Milner-Barry said he was embarrassed at having so many endgame experts watching him." (Manchester Guardian, 28 April)} 1-0

Rf1 {Sources: The Times, 3 January 1939; Evening News (London), 3 January 1939. "SIR G. THOMAS’S ERROR Thomas made an even odder mistake against Milner-Barry. He sacrificed a piece on the fourth move in the Bishop’s opening, under the impression that he would recover it by a check with his Queen on Q 5. Unfortunately the square was protected by a black knight. How­ever, it was a game after all, for Milner-Barry, though he might perhaps have managed to hold on to the piece, preferred to give it back imme­diately in order to give himself a long start in development. He thereby obtained a strong attack, and though Thomas wriggled in­geniously in a most unprepossessing position, Milner-Barry eventually broke through with his rooks. After this the White king was in a mating net, and though Black missed a forced mate by the sacrifice of a bishop, his own way was good enough to win." (The Times, 3 January 1939)} 0-1

Leonard Barden, in a 2025 post on chessgames.com, tells us that "the Lud Eagle blitz tournaments were played on Sundays at the club premises in Hanover Square, just off Oxford Street and close to the bombed National Chess Centre. There were three all-play-all groups of eight (no space for more) with promotion and relegation. I started in the second group and managed to get promoted to the top group with well-known masters.  The reason I'm sure they were five-minute games and not 10 secs lightning was because I played Sir George Thomas and shamelessly flagged him though a rook down. The baronet wasn't best pleased, but I needed the point to avoid relegation to the second group the following week."  Barden also mentioned that "Klein always denied having lost this game, in which Black's play is noticeably weak, and at one time contemplated sueing Hayden and Frankel for defamation."} 1-0
