The games are notable for the fighting spirit of the players. Members of the <Never Resign! School> will find much food for thought here.
With an odd number of players originally and two early withdrawals, each player received in effect three byes; therefore, round-by-round standings are somewhat misleading. By round 11, however, it was clear this was going to be a two-man race between Alekhine and Rotlewi, who shared the lead despite having already had their three non-counting rounds. Thereafter they bounced back and forth until round 17 when Alekhine defeated Rotlewi to take a 1.5 point lead. He then lost in round 18, but a final round victory clinched first place. Bernhard Gregory was a close 3rd in the crosstable, but was never quite able to break into the top group
Byes, cancelled, and unplayed games will be mentioned in the round summaries, but will not show up in the final crosstable. An asterisk (*) indicates a missing game.
