descriptive notation and features a large number of ambiguities (see text
notes) as well as a missing pair of half-moves. BCM, Sept 1947, p288, has a
short (and inaccurate) summary of the game: "Berger [sic] had a slight
advantage in the end-game when Lenton offered him a draw. Thus the old story
was repeated once again—Berger lost." (But the result given correctly
immediately above and in the crosstable on p278) The number of moves played
given as 45, so perhaps more moves are missing.} 0-1

all since it was a dead rubber - Golombek already had 3½ points before the
start of the game. The previous games had been adjourned.} 1/2-1/2

{Position after 70.Nd5. "The most exciting game was that between Miss Price
and Mrs Bruce. Miss Price built up an almost overpowering attack which her
opponent only just managed to withstand; it took much coolness on her part and
after 70 moves the position [here] was reached. Black cannot win, because as
soon as a mating position is reached with the black pawn at h2 and K at h3 or
g3, the white knight has the freedom of the board and can roam with impunity,
for it cannot be captured because of stalemate. The draw came on the 82nd
move!" Source: BCM, Sept 1947, p281}  1/2-1/2
