Hastings 1926/27
Compiled by suenteus po 147

The seventh annual Hastings Chess Congress met at the end of the year of 1926 to conduct a round robin tournament. Ten players were invited to compete, including Savielly Tartakower, Richard Réti, Edgar Colle, George Alan Thomas, Frederick D Yates, George Marshall Norman, Edward G Sergeant, Reginald Pryce Michell, Victor Berger, and Alfred Teller. The new year's tournament saw a three way tie for first among Tartakower, Réti, and Colle.

The final standings and crosstable:

=1st Tartakower 6/9 * 0 = 0 = 1 1 1 1 1

=1st Réti 6/9 1 * 1 0 = = 0 1 1 1
