tournament organiser and had had to play himself due to foreign players
dropping out. The game was scheduled to be played in the first round, 22 May,
but reports indicate that Thomas played two other games, in advance of the
schedule, on that day. Can Thomas have played three games in one day? I am
wondering whether this game might have been played off on the following day,
Sunday 23 May, when no other games were scheduled. JS} 0-1
