the 1920s sources that Brian Denman and I have seen give 24.Qc1. However,
Brian makes this interesting observation: "I came across the score of the 
game
about thirty years ago in a 1947 book by Reinfeld about British Masters 
past
and present. I transcribed the game with 24 Qf1 and the author gives a 
diagram
showing the queen on that square. Only when I read your recent note in
BritBase did I think to query 24 Qf1. I then started looking at 1920s 
sources
and they all quoted 24 Qc1. However, looking at the position, White does 
not
want to play 24 Nxc5 because of 24...Bd4. I assume therefore that 24 Qc1 
was
to threaten Nxc5, as the knight on e3 will be defended. However, if White 
had
this plan, 24 Qd2 would have been a more logical move, and, as he did not 
see
Black's queen sacrifice, we might ask why he did not carry through his
apparent plan by capturing on c5 after Black's 24th move. Instead White 
played
25 c3??. Now I know this misses the mate, but it also leaves the 'd' pawn 
en
prise. On the other hand 24 Qf1 appears to have the plan of 25 c3, as it
defends the d3 square. The queen on f1 might also hope to go to h3. My
instincts are telling me that White played 24 Qf1, but there is no way of
proving this and the sources seem to suggest otherwise." Brian makes a 
very
strong case for 24 Qf1, despite the older sources. I've since found 24 
Qf1
also given in '500 Master Games of Chess' by Tartakower & du Mont (Bell, 
1952).
I'm wondering whether the early reporters simply got the score wrong, and 
then
perhaps one of the players later pointed this out in print and subsequent
authors became aware of an emendation to the score. Who knows? - JS} 24...

the move order of the Sussex Daily News of 2 Aug 1928 has been adopted

The SDN also has White moving a pawn to Q4 on both moves three and four. 
Also
published in the Big Database 2013, which adopts the SDN sequence for 
moves 12
and 13 and then has the SDN ending from 32...Bxg3 except that it gives

any
further moves were played. (Brian Denman) (Updated 21 Apr 2016)} 0-1

December 1939; Denman/Gillam Collection. Jones states that Miss Menchik 
made a
fatal blunder on her 40th move. The article gives 40...'QR-B1' which is 
almost
certainly wrong. On move 42 Black is quoted as playing 'R-K7', which may 
be
correct, though if Black had played 40...Rbe8, we would not know which 
rook
moved to e2. Jones states that this was the only time that he won against 
Miss
Menchik and because of this it has been possible to date the game. The 
article
states that the game was played nearly ten years ago.} 1-0

(Newcastle), 19 August 1930. According to the article the game was "one 
of
fourteen played at a recent Kent Congress. Miss Menchik won thirteen and 
lost
one." It is likely that the game was played at the Kent Congress at 
Canterbury
in April. Vera gave two simultaneous displays during the congress. In the
first on 21st April she played seventeen, won eleven, drew three and lost
three. It is more likely that the game was played on 24th April during 
the
second display, but most newspapers state that she played twelve games,
winning eleven and losing one. However, the similarity in the overall 
score
with the Newcastle newspaper makes it likely that this was the occasion 
on
which the game was played. The newspaper article lists the Black player as
I.C.
Thompson, but this is probably wrong as a J.C. Thompson played in the 
Major
'A' event at the congress. (Brian Denman, 23 February 2023)} 1-0

Classic Reprint of the Hamburg Olympiad. Note on round number and
date: these are not certain but have been deduced. The Times has round by
round scores of the women's championship, though without a clear 
indication of
colours or dates. Stevenson played Menchik in rounds 4 and 9 but having 
lost
both games we cannot be sure in which of the two rounds this game was 
played.
However, we know Menchik had W in rd 2 and B in rd 3 so she was likely to 
have
W in round 4 so that would point to the (missing) Menchik-Stevenson game. 
We
also know Menchik was B in rd 7 so again this makes B likely in rd 9. The 
date
of rd 9 is not given specifically in the Times; the report giving the rd 
9
results was dated 24 July and published in the Saturday 26 July issue, and
the
team tournament game reported alongside were played on 24 July so it is 
highly
probable.} 0-1

Jan 2016. The Times, Wednesday 19 August 1931, gives this game as being 
played
in the 7th round - but it also gives Broadbent as playing Znosko-Borovsky 
in
the same round! On balance I think the mistake is in the round number of 
the
Broadbent game and not this one. JS} 0-1

"Sergeant had a fine attack against Miss Menchik, but sacrificed without
seeing to the end of it, and only got 3 pawns for a piece. A careful 
progress
then won the game for the lady champion. There was a curious sequel, 
however.
The adjourned position was set up wrongly, Miss Menchik having an extra 
KRP
defending her King, and the game was finished in her favour. A mystified
Pressman brought the error to light and Miss Menchik reported the
circumstances. The position was correctly set up and played again, and
Sergeant lost in shorter time than before!" (BCM, May 1936, p206) [the

Source: The Times, 26 April 1938. The Times, 25 April 1938, reported that
this game had been postponed until "today" (by which it meant Sunday 24 
April,
as that would have been the day the report was filed - some details of 
the
game were mentioned elsewhere in the report. Other round 4 games were 
played
on 23 April, with 24 April being the rest day.) The reason for the
postponement was Milner-Barry's toothache which necessitated him returning
to
Cambridge for treatment. (Manchester Guardian)} 1-0

Gambit accepted. This slow form of the Queen's Pawn has been very popular 
in
this tournament, but it is an innocuous enough variation if Black times 
moves
correctly. Wheatcroft equalized without much difficulty and a rather
featureless game followed. It was enlivened at the end by a time scramble 
in
which, according to the testimony of the participants, the play was
undistinguished. At the adjournment a knight and bishop ending had been
reached which proved to be a dead draw." (The Times, 21 April 1939)}

August 1944. N.B. Event not specified. Played 'recently' according to the
newspaper. Brian Denman speculates that it might have been played in the Kent
v Middlesex match (board one), in London on 1 April 1944 (when we know that
Menchik did beat Winter). EDIT: further corroborative evidence - there is a
report of the Kent v Middlesex match in CHESS, May 1944, Vol.9/104, p115
showing the result Winter 0, Mrs Stevenson 1 and the comment "Winter lost his
queen and resigned after ten moves."} 1-0
