"Not just the 91 annotated games of the tournament won by Reti and Spielmann ahead of Tartakover, Rubinstein. Grünfeld and so on (with Tarrasch in 13th place, next to bottom). This material with notes by Grünfeld and Beeker takes up only the first 286 pages, whereupon follows a report on a two-mover competition, then a three-mover, articles on various aspects of problem and study themes, a witty Tartakover 'chess alphabet', very detailed indexes and a 75 page account by chess historian Ludwig Bachmann... What leisured days they enjoyed then!" British Chess Magazine.
