Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 20 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher;s stiff boards. (Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana: 5329) First edition. The Schachjahrbuch declares the "Grandmaster Tournament of Berlin 1918" to have been not only the most important in Germany, but in the world! It brought together the four foremost players of the period: Lasker, Rubinstein, Schlechter and Tarrasch. Like it predecessor a few months earlier, the tournament was organized by Kagan and played out in the Cafe Kerkau. Cafe sponsors provided an unusual first-place prize: 1000 cigaretts made of the finest tobacco! It is matter-of-factly recorded by Bachmann that the cigar-smoking Lasker greatly enjoyed his valued prize in view of the tobacco shortage plaguing German during the closing months of the war. The story of the tournament is quickly told: world champion Lasker, appearing in his first tournament since St Petersburg 1914, and Rubinstein recovering from his disastrous form of April, made the running between them. Lasker (+3-0=3) edged his Warsaw rival (+2-0=4) by half point in the final two rounds. Rubinstein's regaining of his stride can be seen in two hard fought draws with Lasker (the champion had to exercise care in both contests) and his plus scores against both Schlechter (+0-2=4) displayed a marked nervousness in his play. Acclaimed in the prewar period for his correct and safe style, he later developed a strong predilection for sharp attacking lines - while at the same time being prone to the contradictory practice of offering and accepting early draws! The 30th move held a fateful significance for Schlechter in the second Berlin event. He experienced great good luck against Rubinstein in the fifth round when, in time pressure, his taciturn opponent overlooked the win of Schlechter's Queen on his 30th move. In the following round the faltering Schlechter, facing Lasker, miscalculated on his 30th turn to throw away a practical drawing chance.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 198+[2 ad] pages with diagrams and portraits. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's cloth over paper boards.  (Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana:5355) First edition. The third master tournament to be held in Karlsbad, Czechoslovakia was held from April 27 to May 22, 1923. Twenty-two masters were invited, the same as in 1911, but only seventeen were able to accept their invitations. Among the players who could not attend for various reasons were Milan Vidmar, David Janowski, and Fyodor Ivanovich Dus Chotimirsky. Friedrich Saemisch was brought in as a reserve to create an even number of players. The eighteen participants played their games in the Helenenhof Imperial Hotel. Among them were an array of European chess masters, including Alexander Alekhine, Efim Bogoljubov, Siegbert Tarrasch, and Akiba Rubinstein. Only the world champion Jose Raul Capablanca, former world champion Emanuel Lasker, and Frank James Marshall were not invited. Although Alekhine had arrived late due to passport trouble, he dominated for much of the tournament until the penultimate round, where his loss to Rudolf Spielmann allowed Geza Maroczy to catch up. Bogoljubov also managed to close the gap, tying with them due to his final round win against Karel Treybal. The three winners earned 3,505 Czech Crowns for their victory, with Alekhine earning an additional "Prize of Honor," a crystal goblet worth 1,000 Crowns, and Bogoljubov receiving a cash prize worth half Alekhine's prize. The tournament also saw the distribution of ten brilliancy prizes, including three "first prizes" which went to Alekhine for his win against Ernst Gruenfeld, Aron Nimzowitsch for his win against Fred Dewhirst Yates, and Yates for his win against Alekhine.
