Hastings 1925/26 The sixth Hastings Christmas Chess Festival (1) was held from December 25, 1925 to January 5, 1926. Once again ten chess masters from England and the continent were invited to participate in the round robin event. The notable participants of this edition included Alexander Alekhine and Milan Vidmar. Suitably, they tied for first in the final, drawing only with each other and defeating every other player.
