Chessgames.com Chess Event Description
Hastings 1927/28
The eighth annual Hastings Christmas Chess Festival was held from December 28, 1927 to January 6, 1928. The Premier event was a round robin tournament played by ten chess masters from Great Britain and Europe. Among the participants were Victor Berger, Edgar Colle, Hans Kmoch, Reginald Price Michell, George Marshall Norman, Edward G. Sergeant, Lajos Steiner, Savielly Tartakower, George Alan Thomas, and Frederick Yates. Records are scarce on this tournament as even the score of games are incomplete to this day. What information does exist has been used to assemble the existing games in the order found here. We do know Dr. Tartakower eventually won this tournament, his second consecutive Hastings premier (and third overall), but two of his games as well as sixteen others are lost, perhaps forever. From the final standings and results of all the games I have reconstructed the tournament table below:

               1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0  Pts
 1 Tartakower  * 0 ½ 1 1 ½ ½ 1 1 1  6.5
 2 Steiner     1 * ½ 0 ½ 1 1 1 0 1  6.0
 3 Colle       ½ ½ * ½ 1 1 ½ 1 ½ 0  5.5
 4 Berger      0 1 ½ * 1 1 ½ 0 ½ 1  5.5
 5 Yates       0 ½ 0 0 * ½ 1 1 1 1  5.0
 6 Michell     ½ 0 0 0 ½ * 1 1 ½ 1  4.5

10 Norman      0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 *  1.0
20 games are unavailable. These include:

Round 1: Berger 1 Steiner, Kmoch 1/2 Colle, Sergeant 1/2 Michell Round 2: Thomas 0 Colle
Round 3: Kmoch 1/2 Berger, Michell 1/2 Yates

Mar-31-14  zanzibar: Again, like my other comment, BritBase has all the missing games (colors/rounds/exact dates included).

This one is also in the first Hastings-1 zipfile.

Use the same links. I won't check the other Hastings you posted today until after you synch with BritBase.

Sorry if you already looked at BritBase and found problems. But if that's the case, I sure would like to know. I have a great trust for the info on that site, and regard it as "definitive".
