Thirteen chess masters were invited to the chess congress at Budapest, Hungary in October of 1896. Among the participants were established masters such as Siegbert Tarrasch, Mikhail Chigorin, and David Janowski, as well as young chess stars such as Harry Nelson Pillsbury and Carl Schlechter. Hungary was represented by Geza Maróczy and new star Rudolf Charousek who had made his international debut the year before at Nuremberg. Charousek tied Chigorin for first at the end of the tournament, and though he won his individual encounter with Chigorin, a playoff match was devised between the two. Chigorin, a veteran match player, soundly defeated the young Charousek 3-1 in the playoff to take home the lionshare of the prize money.
