John Saunders has put up some games from this tournament on Britbase, But here are a few extras:
In this one, Fraser failed to turn off automatic Queen promotion.
Is the following Endgame the worst ever played in a national championship? The newspaper claimed that after 8... Kf6, 9. Kg8 would draw! Perhaps the scoresheet was misread and 8... Kf8 was the move.
There was also a handicap tournament.
