The Mannheim chess congress 1914 ended after eleven rounds by the outbreak of the Great War. When the disaster had ended, the Deutschen Schachbund dropped its leadership in the organization of international tournaments. The Schachbund gave priority to the preparation of national events. Master tournaments became local occasions. The DSB organized four Hauptturniere in Berlin for 1920. Ehrhardt Post was the manager. A master tournament followed in the same city at the end of that year as a regional initiative by Kagan. The Hauptturnier was won by Friedrich (Fritz) Samisch with a score of 8 with no losses; second was Wilhelm Schunmann. These games are annotated by Ehrhardt Post who finished ahead of Samisch in Hamburg, 1921.
