(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) HASTINGS (England). The Hastings international chess tournament has ended in a draw, the first prize being shared by G. Kuzmin and M. Tai, of Russia, L. Szabo, of Hungary, and J. Tinman, of the Netherlands.
Tai entered the last and fifteenth round as the favourite, as he met the comparatively inexperienced young British entrant, A. Miles.
However, Tai, a former world champion, fought out a long game with Miles that lasted nearly all day, and which ended in a draw.
Final scores were: Kuzmin Szabo. Tai and Timman 10; Si Gligoric (Jugoslavia) 9), R. Keene (England) 9, A. Adorjan (Hungary) 81, P. Benko (U.S.) and W. Harriston (England) 7), M. Basman (England) 7, Suttles 6), K. Pytel (Poland) 6, Miles (England) 5), S. Garcia (Cuba) and M. Stean (England) 5.
