{In December 1950, thirteen years later, I was back in the Hastings Premier Tournament, and partly redeemed the earlier effort by scoring 50 per cent. My chief recollection of this congress is about Weaver Adams, whose original views on opening theory were well known in the USA, as he had published them there in his book, Simple Chess. He had grown tired of meeting opponents in the USA who had studied his opening theory and he was looking forward to springing surprises on his English opponents. However, he did not meet with the success he anticipated, and his consternation at the end of the tournament, when he found out that Leonard Barden had not only studied Simple Chess but had also passed it around, was really quite comical, although one could not help sympathising with him a little. My own game with him owed not a little to a study of his book.} 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bc4 Nc6 4. d3 Bb4 5. Bg5 h6 6. Bxf6 Bxc3+ 7. bxc3 Qxf6 8. Ne2 Ne7 9. O-O g5 10.
