Before Leonard Barden posts the names of just about everyone, I will take a long shot at J E Scholes, near the end three from the right, looking towards the camera. Probably completely wrong.Gerard Killoran wrote: ↑Tue Jul 19, 2022 9:12 amThis BBC website has a short film of the 1957/8 Hastings Tournament.

I can't find James Scholes in the list of members of this Forum.

My first Hastings was the 1961/2 event (a Botvinnik year) when I played in a Christmas or New Year Special (all-play-alls of 6) which included Eileen Tranmer. Quite nostalgic from the 1957/8 film to see the familiar demo board arrangement.
I didn't mean to suggest Scholes as the forum member - I think that's probably LWB. Just speculating on whom else I recognise.David Sedgwick wrote: ↑Tue Jul 19, 2022 12:28 pm

Just to let you know, it's only available to those in the UK. Some of us aren't and so can't watch it.Gerard Killoran wrote: ↑Tue Jul 19, 2022 9:12 amThis BBC website has a short film of the 1957/8 Hastings Tournament.
