1 a.k.a. Izaak Grynfeld
2 Jack Dennis Rosse changed his name from Jacob Rosselson in 1949. He was a violinist, born 1900 in Lithuania, died 1989. Not related to Leon Rosselson.
3 "A Wilhelm" in published results but name written in manuscript in the tournament programme as "T Wilhelm (Switzerland)". (Maybe Anton/Toni? Also, there was a German player called Artur Wilhelms active in the late 1950s - could this be him?)
Also listed as competitors in the tournament programme, but who evidently withdrew: Dr J Szily (Hungary), Moshe Czerniak (Israel), J Glenville (Mitcham), Eileen Tranmer (London), A White (Bristol). Principal source of full crosstable (including colours); tournament programme, with results recorded in manuscript - kindly scanned and forwarded by Jon Edwards, for which many thanks.
