<Triumph for Marshall at Nuremberg>At a time when it was least expected of him, in view of the fatiguing ordeal at Ostend, Frank J. Marshall once again astounded the chess world at large and overjoyed his friends at home by carrying off highest honors in the international masters tournament during the fifteenth congress of the German Chess Association begun at the Hotel Luitpold, Nuremberg, on July 23. He accomplished this without the loss of a single game and, having in mind his victory at Cambridge Springs in 1904, the remark of Mr. Napier that “history repeats itself,’ is very apropos. To fully realize the significance of his performance it is merely necessary to recite the fact that Marshall drew his games with Tarrasch, Chigorin, Schlechter, Fleischmann, Znosko-Borowsky, Swiderski and Vidmar, winning the other nine games outright. He had a narrow escape with Znosko-Borowsky, to whom he lost a piece for two Pawns under an hallucination. Only a few of Marshall’s games have reached here, as it is the intention of Dr. Tarrasch to publish the full collection in the congress book. Wolf’s defeat by Marshall is classical in its beautiful conception. The young master’s success was the more gratifying from the fact that it occurred on the scene of his match with Dr. Tarrasch, which must now be regarded more in the light of a fiasco. Marshall returned home immediately after the conclusion of the tournament, arriving here on August 28. He expressed himself as ready to engage in a competition for the United States championship whenever such an event might be arranged. Probably few tournaments can boast as many surprises as the Nuremberg congress of 1906. In the first place, another “dark horse” made its appearance in the person of O. Duras, of Prague, the Bohemian problem composer, who succeeded in finishing second, ahead of Carl Schlechter, recent winner of the Ostend tournament. Schlechter, though he lost but one game, to Janowski, had to be content to divide third and fourth prizes with Fleischmann, representative of the Forgacs Chess Club of Budapest. It is indeed gratifying to find the veteran Tschigorin again placed high in the list, after his recent poor showing. Most astonishing of all is the performance of Dr. Tarrasch, who, in tying for ninth, tenth and eleventh places, was credited with the most unsuccessful effort of his long career. Of sixteen games, he won only three. <Deutsche Wochenschach> advances physical indisposition as the cause, and it is also reported that the German champion tarried at Carlsbad for a spell prior to the Nuremberg meeting. Be this as it may, it is more likely that the time limit regulation, which permitted the contestants to practically play under a go-as-you-please schedule, and the further fact that he was more or less involved in the management of the congress, had much to do with the surprising failure scored by him. The position of Janowski at the end of the list is also something quite unheard of, but it is conceivable that the absence of a time limit and the consequent license allowed to all players of a dallying disposition had its full effect upon his nerves. The tournament, the outcome of which has furnished Americans genuine pleasure, affords plenty of scope for explanations and it stands to reason that the advent of the congress book will be awaited with unusual impatience – <American Chess Bulletin>, September 1906.
