The outstanding figure in the recent Hastings tourney was V. Pirc, young master from Yugoslavia and a pupil of the famous Dr. Vidmar. Pirc finished second, but a half point behind Flohr and ahead of Sultan Khan and L. Steiner, who tied for third. The following decidedly hypermodern line in the Queen's Gambit was analyzed for three years by Vidmar and Pirc and tried out by the latter at Hastings, with success.
