About This Item
100 pages with diagrams. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's maroon cloth with black lettering to cover. (Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana: 5339) First edition.
In October of 1921, ten chess players of strength ranging from master to amateur met at The Hague, The Netherlands to participate in a round robin tournament. Among the participants were veterans like Jacques Mieses and Georg Marco, and established masters like Alexander Alekhine, Akiba Rubinstein, and Savielly Tartakower. Max Euwe, an amateur, participated by virtue of having become the new Dutch champion earlier in the year. The event was another victory for Alekhine, who would go on to dominate tournaments and the elite for decades to come, most as world champion. First Alexander Alekhine (+7 -0 =2) a full point ahead of second place finisher Savielly Tartakower; third was Akiba Rubinstein half point behind. Borislav Kostic and Geza Maroczy shared fourth and fifth a point behind Rubinstein. In sole sixth was Jacques Mieses with a score of fourth. Georg Marco captured seventh a full point behind. Jacques Davidson placed eight with a score of 2.5. Max Euwe's poor showing with only two points and in ninth was disappointing along with Fred Dewhurst Yates in last and only one point and win.
