The second Salzburg tournament used the same formula as in Salzburg (1942). The site was again the Mirabell Palace. Time control was 32 moves in 2 hours, then after adjournment 16 moves an hour. Gosta Stoltz had gone back to Sweden and Klaus Junge had other obligations. They were replaced by Czechoslovakian master Jan Foltys and German champion Ludwig Rellstab. This time Keres shared first place with Alekhine each with scores of 7. This was probably Alekhine's last strong tournament. Keres managed to tie him for first, after failing to do so in three recent occasions. Paul Felix Schmidt was a distant third with 4.5 followed by Efim Bogoljubov (4), Jan Foltys (3.5) and Ludwig Rellstab (3).
