To give local players the chance to get some experience against strong players, two European masters were brought over. This tournament took place in the Wilderness Hotel. I suspect this is in what is now the town Wilderness, mainly based on the name of the hotel, the fact that said town is a popular touristic destination, and the fact that some of the tailenders were from the nearby city of George.

[1] gives complete results. The tournament director was E. D. Hill. Apparently, a dr. Krijnauw sponsored the tournament. [1] gives some strange colour distributions e.g. for Low-Malherbe in the fifth round, so take those with a grain of salt. [1] also gives some wrong results, like Bosset-Wilken which was given as a victory for black. Luckily, [1] also gives the scores after each round. Lewis had to withdraw after five rounds because his mother-in-law passed away. Biro decided to withdraw, too, presumably to make the number even again.

Wanted

• Most games.
• Many first names.
• I guess Bossert and Palmer were Rhodesian, since they are given as living in Gwelo and Bulawayo, respectively. Apart form that I have taken South African as the default nationality.
