  MissScarlett: Daily Herald, August 21st 1935, p.1:

<WOMAN CHESS CHAMPION KILLED

Fear that she was being left behind cost the life of Mrs. R. H. S. Stevenson, several times British woman chess champion, at Posen airport yesterday.

She ran round the nose of her airliner, was struck by the propeller and died instantly.

Mrs. Stevenson, who lived at Clapham, S.W., was on her way to Warsaw to play in the championships there.

After passport formalities had been concluded, the pilot started to "warm up" the engines. Thinking that the plane was going without her, Mrs. Stevenson ran forward — to her death. The British Embassy has been informed of the tragedy.>
