The tournament took place at the Hall of Columns in Moscow, Russia from May 14th to June 8th, 1936.The solid mix of Western and Soviet competitors were to play a double round-robin, consisting of eighteen total games. Capablanca, nine years removed from being the world champion, was alone in first place at the halfway mark. A point and a half behind him were Botvinnik, Lasker, and Viacheslav Ragozin. The only player to keep within reasonable distance of the leader was Botvinnik, but he eventually finished a full point behind the tournament champion, Capablanca.

[Hungarian Chess World.] 47 p. with chess diagrams. First edition. Publisher's paper wrappers. - -- - After the Nazi annexation and absorption (Anschluss) of Austria (12th March 1938), Austrian chess players such as Erich Eliskases, Albert Becker, Ernst Gruenfeld and Josef Lokvenc were incorporated in the National Socialist organisation Grossdeutsche Schachbund (Greater German Chess Federation - GSB). Becker, on behalf of the Austrian Chess Association, then wrote to Otto Zander, the head of the GSB, "In indelible gratitude towards the man who has led us German Austrians to freedom and unity, we greet our chess comrades in the Greater German Chess Federation with Heil Hitler!" Eliskases was the German Champion in both 1938 and 1939. The only other grandmaster of equal stature in the Greater German Chess Federation was Efim Bogoljubov. At the time of the match, Bogoljubov was almost fifty whilst Eliskases was twenty-five years old. Bogoljubov was no. 11 and Eliskases no. 9 in the January 1939 Chessmetrics rating list. Eliskases was a predominantly positional player with a particular technical proficiency in the ending. During the 1930s, he became one of the strongest players in the world. He played on the Austrian national team in the Olympiads of 1933 (Folkestone) and 1935 (Warsaw), where he had the highest individual score on the third board. - Game 20. Bogoljubov, with the White pieces, could have agreed on a quick draw, but he fought on. Eliskases, as in Game 18, used the Lasker Defence. He had weak pawns on the Queen-side but Bogoljubov could not exploit this advantage and the game was drawn. - Whilst the match was in progress, the British Prime Minister Chamberlain was in Rome trying to negotiate with Mussolini. The clouds of war were gathering and neither player was to have an opportunity to take further part in the world championship. Eliskases was left isolated without financial or national support in South America. From there, he had no opportunity to stake a claim for consideration as a candidate. For the ageing Bogoljubov, his time as a realistic challenger was over. He lost to Euwe at Karlsbad (Karlovy Vary) (Euwe - Bogoljubov (1941)), but more importantly, his reputation was to be irrevocably soiled by association with Nazi Germany.
