<under construction> - Thanks also to the help of the Biographer Bistro in being able to clear up some of the date, board and table pairings of the Russia vs UK match. Looks like (perhaps a series of 1 or more) international event(s) played across the medium of the radio broadcast waves. Probably the UK vs Russia matches were played between September 21st-23rd, 1947. [Event "ENG-URS"]

<under construction> <crawfb5: editing this version collection any further had been <<on hold>>, since I'm still trying to track whether one game was a withdrawal or actually played, but without a scoresheet. I don't have days and months yet, either - which is why I hadn't yet sorted things out by round (or round.board) order. Currently, I'm working on collecting some other tournaments instead. Do you have a reference book or tournament billeting about the rounds and dates (without <that>, and the missing game, it seems like it wouldn't pass through a vote yet anyways - although I'm not sure why it's such a big issue). Mention in my forum if you'd like to add or edit my introductory notes (and I can clear edited drafts there later - as opposed to the bistro, where I cannot delete those).> After Vera Menchik died in an air raid, FIDE organized a tournament which started in December 1949-50 [(1)] to determine the new World (women's) chess champion. table[
