This time, however, he conceived of a more rigorous format, with the ten players (five Soviets and five foreigners) in a double round robin competition. The line up was impressive, with Capablanca and Lasker being asked back a third time to compete in Moscow, in addition to last year's winners Botvinnik and Flohr. The tournament was held in Moscow's famous Hall of Columns from May 14th to June 8th. Capablanca's near flawless accuracy and superiority in the endgame proved to be instrumental in winning the grand prize a full point over the future world champion Botvinnik. Lasker, who normally kept pace and often beat his successor to the crown at such events, started out strong, but at 68 years of age he became fatigued more easily and his performance suffered during the second cycle of games. The tournament brought immense excitement and interest, both to the citizens of the Soviet Union and to the greater world at large. Capablanca's first place was to be one of the last successes against the Soviet Chess School before Fischer's triumph 36 years later. It was also the last hurrah of Krylenko, the founder and organizer of the Moscow tournament. He was arrested in 1937 and died (some say "purged") the following year.
