Aug-05-08    whiteshark: It looks as if Franz G Jacob played only six rounds in Hamburg 1910 (+0 =3 -3) and abondoned the tournament afterwards. Why? Any background information? Aug-05-08    sneaky pete: Not in the 1911 tournament book. It only states that Jacob, Mülhausen i. Els. (with <Alechin>, Moskau and Dus Chotimirski, Moskau last minute replacement for the invited trio Capablanca, Janowski and Rubinstein) withdrew after round 6. "Eine unangenehme Störung erlitt das Meisterturnier leider dadurch, daß Herr Jacob nach der 6. Runde zurücktrat." Aug-05-08    RoyalFlush: <"Eine unangenehme Störung erlitt das Meisterturnier leider dadurch, daß Herr Jacob nach der 6. Runde zurücktrat."> Das ist aber schade. :) I wonder what was his unpleasant problem. Health issues? Aug-06-08    whiteshark: Thanks <sneaky pete>. A super-tournament if Capablanca, Janowski and Rubinstein would have played. (Lasker, of course, maybe Vidmar, Bernstein, Maroczy, Mieses were missed, too)
