  Tabanus: That could well be him:

Hastings and St Leonards Observer 17 April 1926 has a <E. S. Bensinger> playing at the "Boys' Chess Congress" at Hastings.

Northampton Mercury 9 Dec 1927 has E. S. Bensinger playing for Oxfordshire (beating D. Morris from Northamptonshire).

  MissScarlett: <Paul Timson (Whalley, England) notes that Bronowski represented Cambridge University on board three against Oxford University in 1931, losing to E.S. Bensinger.>

<Lieutenant Eric Sigmund Bensinger was an English officer of the British Army who died during the Second World War.

He was born in Hendon, the son of German-born parents Siegfried Leopold and Elise Bensinger (née Henschel). Bensinger attended St Paul's before entering Wadham College as a classical scholar in 1926.[1] He was responsible for the translation of a number of books, including The Seven Soviet Arts by Kurt London.>

The dates and the locations fit. Grounds enough to go with <Eric Sigmund>.

Date of birth is given in online ancestry sites as c.1908/1909. I would favour 1908, if only because that would make him 18 or so when joining Oxford University.
