No tournament book appeared at the time. In 1964, 50 years after the event, the librarian of the Mannheimer Schachklub 1865 Werner Lauterbach edited one with all the games he could find in games collections, newspapers and magazines. Five games, unfortunately, seem to have been lost forever.The missing games are (R.1) Vidmar vs Janowski 1-0; (R.2) Fahrni vs Tartakower 1/2-1/2; (R.6) Reti vs Spielmann 1/2-1/2; (R.7) Krüger vs Fahrni 1/2-1/2 and (R.11) Breyer vs Reti 1/2-1/2.

| Dec-26-13 | | sneaky pete: In Hauptturnier A Halleg<n>a is a typo for
B Hallegua. Hallégua had 8 points from 11 games and I. Rabinowitsch 7,5 from 10, so the prize money for 1st and 2nd place was split between them. Tenner scored 7,5 points from 11 games. In Hauptturnier B, Siegergruppe B, "Jürgens" is
Heinrich Wagner and "Behrend" is
Kurt Pahl. Information from Lauterbach's 1964 tournament book. |

 | | Retireborn: Nice photos. Particularly like the giant Rook in the Lasker photo. I wonder if they had a whole set of those especially made. |

| Aug-10-19 | | amadeus: "After the declaration of war against Russia, eleven 'Russian players' (Alekhine, Bogoljubov, Fedor Bogatyrchuk, Alexander Flamberg, N. Koppelman, Boris Maliutin, Ilya Rabinovich, Peter Romanovsky, Peter Petrovich Saburov, Alexey Selezniev, Samuil Weinstein) from the Mannheim tournament were interned by Germany. In September 1914, four of the internees (Alekhine, Bogatyrchuk, Saburov, and Koppelman) were allowed to return home via Switzerland. The remaining Russian internees played eight tournaments, the first held in Baden-Baden (1914) and all the others in Triberg (1914–1917). Bogoljubov took second place, behind Alexander Flamberg, in Baden-Baden, and won five times in the Triberg chess tournament (1914–1916). During World War I, he stayed in Triberg im Schwarzwald, married a local woman and spent the rest of his life in Germany." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efim_... Two blindfold games played by Alekhine and Bogoljubov in the prison camp of Rastatt: Bogoljubov vs Alekhine, 1914 Alekhine vs Bogoljubov, 1914 |
|
| Feb-03-21 | | Stolzenberg: The next round (12) would have seen Vidmar vs Alekhine (2nd vs 1st), but was not played. What a pity! |

Yes, we might have got another one of these Alekhine vs Vidmar, 1911 both sides going all out for an opposite coloured Bishop attack. Great game. *** |
