Carlsbad 1929 chess tournament

The fourth international Carlsbad tournament was held in the Kurhaus Hotel Imperial. Twenty two great masters, under the direction of Viktor Tietz, played in the resort Karlsbad (Karlovy Vary) from July 30 to August 28, 1929. Only the world champion Alexander Alekhine did not partake but during the event he wrote six reports for The New York Times. The female world champion Vera Menchik did participate. The allowed time was 30 moves in two hours, followed by 15 in one hour. The first prize of 20,000 Kronen had an estimated value of £125.

Rudolf Spielmann made a great start of 9/10. José Raúl Capablanca joined the first place in round thirteen. Aron Nimzowitsch took the sole lead in the last round.

Nimzowitsch got 20,000 Kronen, Capablanca and Spielmann 12,000 Kronen each, Rubinstein 8,000 Kronen, Becker, Vidmar and Euwe 5,000 Kronen each, and Bogoljubow 3,000 Kronen. Nimzowitsch expected to become challenger of the world champion and expressed his desire on his visiting cards. Unfortunately Alekhine crushed him in the San Remo 1930 chess tournament and Bled 1931 chess tournament.
