Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-03-13  Karpova: He won the Winter Tournament of the Munich Chess Club* and became Club Champion:

1. Schmitt 7.5
2-3. Baumann 6.0
2-3. Schindler 6.0
4. Gebhard(t) 5.5
5. Dr. Friedl 5.0

There were probably more players.

Source: Page 177 of the 1926 'Neue Wiener Schachzeitung'

* The date is not mentioned. This is from the June edition of 1926. I guess it was either played at the end of 1925 or the beginning of 1926. The article is an overview of the chess avtivities in bavaria which may explain the late reporting.

Oct-10-13  Karpova: Two drawn matches in Munich:

L Schmitt - Gebhard*: +4 -4 =0

L Schmitt - Springe**: +4 -4 =1

From page 12 of the January 1925 'Neue Wiener Schachzeitung'

* probably Hans Gebhardt

** probably W Springe

Dec-08-13  Karpova: Bavarian Champion in 1923 (8th Bavarian Chess Federation Congress in Nuremberg).

From pages 191-192 of the August 1923 'Neue Wiener Schachzeitung'

Aug-29-20  Alan McGowan: Some additional information:-

Ludwig Schmitt won the Master tournament at the XI Congress of the Bavarian Chess Federation at Bad Kissingen 1928, held alongside the more famous international master tournament. He scored 9½/11, ahead of Benzinger 8 and Weissgerber 6 etc.

Schmitt won the Silesian Chess Congress on several occasions:

1927 Gleiwitz: 4/6, equal with Heinz Foerder (later Josef Porath) but winning on tie-break.

1934 Ottmachau: 7½/9, ahead of Weinitschke and Maicherczyk etc.

At the 1933 congress he played in the Master tournament, where he scored an outstanding success; outright 1st place with 5½/7, ahead of Ahues, Dr Seitz, Rellstab, Kurt Richter, W. John, Machate and von Holzhausen.

He won the Bavarian Championship twice; at Bad Aibling 1953 and at Augsburg 1956.

At the 1953 German Championship in Leipzig, which included players from both the Western and Eastern sectors, he shared 1st and 2nd places with Unzicker, scoring 9/13 in the Swiss System event. However, he lost the play-off match.

Additional information (in German)

'.. Der Turniersieger Ludwig Schmitt ist eine spärlich dokumentierte Figur unter den historischen Schachspielern. Er kam 1902 in Augsburg zur Welt. 1923 und 1928 gewann er die Bayerische Meisterschaft, 1924 nahm er am Hauptturnier in Meran teil. Er wohnte in den 1930er Jahren in Breslau, wo er zu einem regelmäßigen Teilnehmer an schlesischen und sächsischen Turnieren wurde. Er spielte in Wien 1926, Magdeburg 1927, Brünn 1931, Bad Aachen 1934, Bad Oeynhausen 1937 und 1938, Augsburg 1946, wo er nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs wieder ansässig wurde und in der Stadtverwaltung arbeitete. Seinen größten Erfolg feierte Schmitt 1953: In diesem Jahr gewann er zunächst erneut die Bayerische Meisterschaft und anschließend die bis zur Wiedervereinigung letztmals ausgerichteten Gesamtdeutschen Meisterschaften in Leipzig gemeinsam mit Wolfgang Unzicker. Schmitt unterlag Unzicker im anschließenden Stichkampf 1954 mit 0,5:3,5. 1956 wurde er nochmals Meister von Bayern. Er nahm für die Bundesrepublik an einigen Mannschaftsländerkämpfen teil, allerdings spielte er nicht in der Olympiamannschaft.'

Apr-10-21  Chessist: This player did not take part in the third congress organized by the German Chess Association in Berlin, July 1928. Alan McGowan is making a serious mistake in attributing this tournament to him (Kurt Richter, p. 35). Schmitt was born in Augsburg, not in Görlitz.
