  Retireborn: The correct score of the round 3 game, according Sherwood's tournament book.

  Dionysius1: Anyone have a story to go with such a short draw?

  Retireborn: Tournament book just says game drawn without incident. Vidmar had an adjourned game vs Maroczy from rd 2 hanging over him. That Spielmann didn't want to play is more surprising, but perhaps he had unpleasant memories of their Karlsbad 1907 game.

  Telemus: DSZ mentioned that three players had health problems during the event: Vidmar, Maroczy and even more Colle.

<Retireborn: but perhaps he had unpleasant memories of their Karlsbad 1907 game.> Cannot believe that. Spielmann had won their last decisive game in Semmering 1926, but since NY 1927 their results were all peaceful, mostly with not too many moves: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches...

  Retireborn: <Telemus> Thanks for that information.

I was looking at Spielmann's games with 3.Bc4, and I think he was probably happier playing against 3...Bc5 than 3...Nf6; the fighting move 4.Ng5 possibly didn't appeal to him.

  Telemus: <Retireborn: I was looking at Spielmann's games with 3.Bc4,> Ah, I see.

<the fighting move 4.Ng5 possibly didn't appeal to him.> I found only four games played after the Great War where Spielmann had this choice. In Spielmann vs Przepiorka, 1925 he played 4.d4, then this game, of course, and many years later he indeed chose 4.♘g5, but lost twice: Spielmann vs E Eliskases, 1936 and Spielmann vs Pirc, 1938
