from Normanhurst camp, who has been attending the Hastings club of late, is a
strong player of Cassel. He has been showing good form against some of the
leading club players and was placed in the Premier Major section. In his first
game he was opposed to Dr. J. M. Aitken, a former Scottish champion, and the
game drew a biggish crowd at the opening session." [elsewhere on same page]
"One of the most interesting new personalities at the Congress is Sergeant
Fritz Saenger, a German Army prisoner of war, who is a hospital orderly at the
Normanhurst P.o.W. camp. He was granted special permission by the Camp
Commandant to take part in the Congress, in which he is playing in the Premier
Reserves Major Section, but without much success so far. He has been a regular
visitor to the Chess Club on Saturday nights where he has played against some
of the club’s best players. Before the war he was an engineer and his home
is at Kassel in the American Zone. Aged 32, he was captured at Bergen on the
River Maas in Belgium, in 1944." (game also in BCM, Feb 1948, p64)} 1-0
