The Torneo Internacional del CÃrculo de Ajedrez was held in Buenos Aires, soon after the 8th Chess Olympiad, which was held from August 21 to September 19, 1939. All participants except Keres had decided to stay in Argentina due to the outbreak of World War II, and it was the opinion that chess would benefit from the realization of contests for them. After Rosario (1939) this was the second of these contests, where especially appealing was the great master Paul Keres. Play took place at the CÃrculo de Ajedrez, the main chess club in the city, at Bartolomé Mitre 670, with rounds starting as late as 8:30 pm. Miguel Najdorf and Paul Keres tied for first place with scores of 8 1/2. Third and fourth was shared by Gideon Stahlberg and Moshe Czerniak a half point behind. Carlos Enrique Guimard and Paulino Frydman shared the fifth and sixth spot with 6 1/2. Sole seventh was Roberto Grau a full point behind. Sixth and seventh was shared with J Gershman and Francisco Benko with scores of 3 1/2. Eight was the only female player, Sonja Graf, with a score of 2 1/2 and ninth was Luis Palau with 2.
