| Mar-25-21 | | Nosnibor: Why is Yates rating above that of Atkins? Prior to this event Yates had got a score of +1 =1 -7 against Atkins. Also Atkins international record although limited was better.15wins out of 15 games in Amsterdam 1899 and 3rd in the very strong Hanover 1902 event. Apart from this Yates could not match his British Championship results. Atkins would always finish above when they were both competing. Not all is correct with Sonas. |

| Mar-25-21 | | Z4all: Looks like a RR2, so are two games missing from <CG> or just from this "pseudo(?)"-tournament page? Should have 12-games (maybe there were byes/forfeits/what??). Britbase gives the final standings and xtab:
<
1920/21 Hastings Champions' Tournament, 30 December 1920 - 5 January 1921[xtab omitted, here's the gist <~Yates 4/6, Scott 3.5, Atkins 3, Griffith 1.5> ] Time control: 40 moves in 2 hours and 20 moves in 1 hour subsequently
(at the request of HE Atkins)
>
Unusual scoring system, i.e. divide by 2, wonder why? Also - Atkins apparently merited special treatment for the tc. |

| | MissScarlett: Britbase states that both Atkins-Griffith games are missing. |
|
| Mar-25-21 | | Z4all: Rub-a-dub-dub there's need for a stub (or two). |
|
| Mar-25-21 | | Nosnibor: It states highest achieved ratings under the list of participants. This does not refer to the rating performance from this tournament. It must therefore refer to ratings(grades) from prior events. Stop discounting what I put forward and think about it. |

| | MissScarlett: I've thought about it and don't see the problem. The software needs some criterion by which to sort and list competitors. Peak rankings, however imperfect, strikes me as better than, say, alphabetically. Or do you have a superior alternative? |
