Dresden (1936) In 1936, the DSB Kongress organized a training tournament to be held in Dresden, Germany from June 7-14. Four German players were pitted against six European masters, including the former world champion. Alekhine triumphed, though not with the usual dominance that might have been expected. This victory was one of many he earned in his interim between world titles to assert himself as the world's strongest player and eventually earn a rematch with Max Euwe. The final standings and crosstable: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 Alekhine * 0 ½ ½ 1 ½ 1 1 1 1 6½ 2 Engels 1 * 1 ½ 0 ½ ½ 1 1 ½ 6 =3 Maróczy ½ 0 * 1 1 ½ 0 1 ½ 1 5½ =3 Ståhlberg ½ ½ 0 * 0 ½ 1 1 1 1 5½ 5 Bogoljubow 0 1 0 1 * 1 ½ 0 ½ 1 5 =6 Rödl ½ ½ ½ ½ 0 * ½ ½ ½ 1 4½ =6 Sämisch 0 ½ 1 0 ½ ½ * 1 0 1 4½ =8 Helling 0 0 0 0 1 ½ 0 * 1 1 3½ =8 Keres 0 0 ½ 0 ½ ½ 1 0 * 1 3½ 10 Grob 0 ½ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 * ½ Original collection: Game Collection: Dresden 1936, by User: suenteus po 147.  page 1 of 2; games 1-25 of 45  Game   Result Moves Year Event/Locale Opening 1. Keres vs Stahlberg 0-1 35 1936 Dresden C02 French, Advance 2. Alekhine vs K Helling 1-0 40 1936 Dresden D16 Queen's Gambit Declined Slav 3. Maroczy vs Grob 1-0 59 1936 Dresden B58 Sicilian 4. L Engels vs Bogoljubov 0-1 34 1936 Dresden E38 Nimzo-Indian, Classical, 4...c5 5. L Roedl vs Saemisch ½-½ 31 1936 Dresden C12 French, McCutcheon 6. Stahlberg vs Alekhine ½-½ 52 1936 Dresden A84 Dutch 7. Bogoljubov vs Saemisch   ½-½ 43 1936 Dresden A80 Dutch 8. K Helling vs L Roedl   ½-½ 40 1936 Dresden D02 Queen's Pawn Game 9. L Engels vs Maroczy 1-0 30 1936 Dresden D61 Queen's Gambit Declined, Orthodox, Rubinstein Attack 10. Grob vs Keres 0-1 28 1936 Dresden C58 Two Knights 11. L Roedl vs Stahlberg   ½-½ 29 1936 Dresden C07 French, Tarrasch 12. Maroczy vs Bogoljubov 1-0 49 1936 Dresden C47 Four Knights 13. Keres vs L Engels 0-1 46 1936 Dresden A22 English 14. Maroczy vs Keres   ½-½ 40 1936 Dresden B03 Alekhine's Defense 15. Grob vs L Roedl   0-1 62 1936 Dresden D32 Queen's Gambit Declined, Tarrasch 16. L Engels vs Alekhine 1-0 67 1936 Dresden D85 Grunfeld 17. Saemisch vs K Helling 1-0 33 1936 Dresden D16 Queen's Gambit Declined Slav 18. Bogoljubov vs K Helling   0-1 27 1936 Dresden D11 Queen's Gambit Declined Slav 19. Stahlberg vs Saemisch   1-0 26 1936 Dresden E58 Nimzo-Indian, 4.e3, Main line with 8...Bxc3 20. Alekhine vs Grob 1-0 55 1936 Dresden D35 Queen's Gambit Declined 21. L Roedl vs L Engels   ½-½ 44 1936 Dresden A57 Benko Gambit 22. Saemisch vs Grob 1-0 60 1936 Dresden D63 Queen's Gambit Declined, Orthodox Defense 23. K Helling vs Stahlberg   0-1 79 1936 Dresden D00 Queen's Pawn Game 24. Keres vs Bogoljubov ½-½ 59 1936 Dresden C00 French Defense 25. Alekhine vs Maroczy ½-½ 30 1936 Dresden D10 Queen's Gambit Declined Slav  page 1 of 2; games 1-25 of 45    REFINE SEARCH:   White wins (1-0) | Black wins (0-1) | Draws (1/2-1/2)     There is no kibitzing for this page, yet.   NOTE: Create an account today to post replies and access other powerful features which are available only to registered users.
