In the summer of 1923, the Witkowitzer Eisenwerke organized a round robin chess event to be held in Mährisch-Ostrau, Czechoslovakia (Mährisch is German for Moravian, Ostrau is Ostrava). In addition to thirteen other European masters, a contract was secured for former world champion Emanuel Lasker to participate. The players were billeted at the Hotel Royal and games were played from July 1-18 in Witkowitz, a suburb of Ostrava. The event culminated in another victory for Lasker, who finished undefeated in his first tournament chess since 1918, a full point ahead of second place Réti. The other prizes went to Grunfeld, Selezniev, Tartakower, Euwe, Tarrasch and Bogoljubow. Spielmann and Rubinstein won no prizes. Spielmann complained about his lack of success in the King's Gambit.
