| Liege (1930) |
|
Twelve chess players were invited to Liege, Belgium in August of 1930 to compete in a round robin tournament. The participants were Aron Nimzowitsch, Frank James Marshall, Akiba Rubinstein, Savielly Tartakower, Mir Sultan Khan, Edgar Colle, George Allen Thomas, Karl Ahues, David Przepiorka, Henri Weenink, Isaias Pleci, and Victor Ivanovich Soultanbeieff. It was to be one of Tartakower's best tournaments. He finished undefeated with 8.5/11. The Indian sensation Sultan Khan was two points behind. He won his first six games, drew Rubinstein, then lost his last four. Liege, Belgium, 19-30 August 1930 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 Pts

 | | MissScarlett: I was surprised to espy Alekhine, Kashdan and Yates in that pic, so I wondered if it could instead have been taken at the Hamburg Olympiad, which, it turned out, finished about three weeks earlier. But no: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... Skinner & Verhoeven have Alekhine playing a simul in Liege a day before the tourney begins, so he was probably there as a special guest. Kashdan and Yates were likely on holiday, or Yates may have been doing a spot of reporting, too. |
