In tournaments, he won the 3rd Congress of the Bohemian Chess Association in 1891, finished 2nd (behind Oldrich Duras) in 1906 and 1910, and placed 18th Prague (1908) (Duras and Carl Schlechter won). In match play, he lost to Duras (4-5) in 1902, and defeated Karel Hromadka 3-1 in 1909. Representing Prague in team play, Dr. Kvícala defeated Wilhelm Cohn 1.5-0.5 in 1913.

Jun-02-13  Karpova: Tragic conclusion to a tournament

As in my first post on Prague (1908), in the penultimate round (18) Dr. Kvicala was playing e2-e4 against Duras when he got the news that his parents had both died. He immediately resigned (p. 182 of the 1908 'Wiener Schachzeitung'). The last game he lost on forfeit.

Oct-25-14  Karpova: It is worth noting that there were at least three members of the Prague Chess Club with the surname Kvicala: <Dr. A Kvicala>, <Dr. Josef Kvicala> and <J Kvicala>.
