Author: Ferenc Chalupetzky, (1886-1951) and László Tóth  annotated by Geza Maroczy from the the club library of Studenterforeningens Skakklub

Year: 1929

Publisher: Magyar Sakkvilág

Place: Kecskemét

Description:

72 pages with diagrams, plates and tables. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Introduction by R Capablanca. (Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana: 5420) First edition.

In the aftermath of Kecskemet (1927), good chess forces came together for another international event, this time at the famous Siesta Sanatorium in Budapest. Prize monies were $200 (1st prize, from the New York publisher G. Wells), 800 Pengo (2nd prize, from the City of Budapest), 500, 300, 200 and 100 Pengo. Ten masters were invited, of which Milan Vidmar withdrew in the last moment (causing new pairings and schedule) and was replaced by Zoltan von Balla of Budapest. The former (1921-1927) World Champion Capablanca showed his class with 5 wins and 4 draws. 2nd Marshall at 6; 3rd and 4th Spielmann and Kmoch with 5. It was followed up next year with Budapest (1929).

The tournament which is the subject of this book of the games was edited by F. Chalupetzky and L. Toth using the contemporary analyses of Maroczy and other masters. But that work was printed in Hungarian and in a small number of copies; furthermore its arrangement was unusual, the games were arranged according to openings. 

Condition:

Provenance of "Studenterforeningens Skakklub" with their stamp on title verso, wrappers separated, lacks spine, edge wear with tears and chips, front attachment lacking, internally very good. A scarce tournament book.
