| Frankfurt (1930) |
|
In September of 1930 an international chess tournament was held in Frankfurt, Germany. The main event was attended by exceptional chess masters from Europe and the United States. The notable participants were Aron Nimzowitsch, Jacques Mieses, Friedrich Saemisch, and Isaac Kashdan. Fresh off his win from Karlsbad the previous year, Nimzowitsch took clear first here continuing his campaign to challenge Alexander Alekhine for the world chess crown. Kashdan, the recent Manhattan Chess Club champion, took clear second, finishing undefeated, a full two points ahead of the shared third place finishers. This was to be Nimzowitsch's last great tournament success. Sadly, he died of pneumonia less than five years later. Frankfurt, Germany, 6-18 September 1930 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2

 | | FSR: <offramp> Kashan is the Rodney Dangerfield of the chess world: he "don't get no respect." He was called "der Kleine Capablanca" (the Little Capablanca). But according to Chessmetrics, he actually ranked higher than "der Gross Capablanca" for a time, being the No. 2 player in the world (after Alekhine) for 20 months in 1932-34. http://www.chessmetrics.com/cm/CM2/.... Unfortunately, that was in the midst of the Great Depression, and he had to get a real job to support himself and his family. FIDE only got around to awarding him the GM title in 1954, four years after its first title list in 1950. |
