Elaine came 2nd= in the 1954 Singapore Championship with a healthy score of 8.5/11. Her husband came first a point ahead of her. In 1955 at the Malayan Championship, in Singapore, she came 3rd= on 3, a shortened Swiss event probably only of 5 rounds. Husband, David, was first alone on 4 points. For some years she nurtured the thought she might publish a book of her games but, with characteristic modesty, later ‘realised they were all rubbish (sic!).’
