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 1; 15 games    Game   Result Moves Year Event/Locale Opening 1. L Roedl vs Saemisch ½-½ 31 1936 Dresden C12 French, McCutcheon 2. Bogoljubov vs Saemisch   ½-½ 43 1936 Dresden A80 Dutch 3. K Helling vs L Roedl   ½-½ 40 1936 Dresden D02 Queen's Pawn Game 4. Stahlberg vs Alekhine ½-½ 52 1936 Dresden A84 Dutch 5. Maroczy vs Keres   ½-½ 40 1936 Dresden B03 Alekhine's Defense 6. L Roedl vs Stahlberg   ½-½ 29 1936 Dresden C07 French, Tarrasch 7. Alekhine vs Maroczy ½-½ 30 1936 Dresden D10 Queen's Gambit Declined Slav 8. Keres vs Bogoljubov ½-½ 59 1936 Dresden C00 French Defense 9. L Roedl vs L Engels   ½-½ 44 1936 Dresden A57 Benko Gambit 10. L Engels vs Saemisch   ½-½ 32 1936 Dresden A28 English 11. Maroczy vs L Roedl ½-½ 84 1936 Dresden B83 Sicilian 12. L Roedl vs Keres   ½-½ 80 1936 Dresden C79 Ruy Lopez, Steinitz Defense Deferred 13. Alekhine vs L Roedl   ½-½ 27 1936 Dresden D41 Queen's Gambit Declined, Semi-Tarrasch 14. L Engels vs Stahlberg   ½-½ 27 1936 Dresden E48 Nimzo-Indian, 4.e3 O-O 5.Bd3 d5 15. H Grob vs L Engels ½-½ 34 1936 Dresden B72 Sicilian, Dragon   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.
