A striking incident, you might think (reported, as the excerpt says, in the Evening Standard, with the clipping being from the Falkirk Herald of 30 July 1930). But do we have any information on what actually happened? I note that the game score seems not to appear in the chessgames.com record of either Weenink or Kmoch, though the game between them from London three years earlier is easily located.
There is no reference to the incident in the Olimpbase review (the source for which is not clear - is it original?) though the players met in the opening round, of which match the other three games are available. I also find no mention of any incident in my sole printed source for the event, Chess Olympiads by Árpád Földeák, Corvina, 1966.
Did any such incident occur? And where has the game score gone?
