The 14th renewal of the Hastings Chess Congress was held from December 27, 1933 through January 5, 1934, and featured the World Champion as part of this group of combatants: Alexander Alekhine,
Conel Hugh O'Donel Alexander,
Erich Eliskases,
Salomon Flohr,
Andre Lilienthal,
Vera Menchik,
Reginald Pryce Michell,
Philip Stuart Milner-Barry,
George Alan Thomas,
Theodore Tylor. Despite Alekhine's presence, Flohr proved a bit more adept at beating the next tier of players. After round 7 he was 1/2-point ahead of Lilienthal and a full point up on Alekhine, then clinched his third striaght clear tournament victory with draws against them.
