 | | Tabanus: This was easy for me, because of Game Collection: Kemeri 1939. I can add a sentence or three about the Latvian Championship if someone posts it here. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen:
<Tabanus> thank you for assembling this. Also I thank you greatly for calculating so many <sonnen-hamburger> pairing computations for me over the years. The following tables tell the story of how <Kemeri 1939> became part of calculating the results of the 1938-1939 Latvian chess championship: https://lv.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938.... . In 1938, two preliminary groups were held, with the idea that the top 3 finishers from each group would compete amongst each other for the Latvian championship as part of the Kemeri 1939 International tournament. <Vladimir Petrov> was seeded directly into this internal Latvian championship competition, so he was not required to compete in either of the preliminary 1938 groups. The winner of the 1938-1939 Latvian championship was calculated to be <Petrov>, since he had the best internal head to head record against the Latvian championship contestants who participated at Kemeri 1939. Interestingly, although <Petrov> won the Latvian championship, <Movsa Feigin> was the Latvian who compiled the best score at <Kemeri 1939> of any Latvian player, if you include Latvian results against foreign participants. |

| | Tabanus: <jess> Thanks. Short but at least a place-holder for kibitzing. I added a little on the Latvian Ch, please check this and feel free to add/correct or improve the English. |

| | jessicafischerqueen:
Thanks go to you <Tab>- I just fleshed out the explanation of why Petrov was declared Latvian champion a bit now. |
|
| May-08-22 | | whiteshark: The intra-Latvian result then looks like this:
1 Petrovs 7
2 Feigins 6
3 Dreibergs 5,5
3 Melngailis 5,5
5 Hāzenfuss 5
6 Apšenieks 4,5
7 Bezručko 4
8 Solmanis 3,5
9 Koblencs 3
10 Ozols 1 |
|
May-08-22
| | Tabanus: Guys I think only 7 players participated in this final of the Latvian championship: Bezrucko, Hasenfuss, Ozols from Group 1
Apsenieks, Melngalis, Dreibergs from Group 2
Petrovs admitted by the organizer
https://lv.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938.... - So that the results here of Feigin, Solmanis and Koblents are irrelevant? Not sure if Petrovs won coz of best score (not counting Feigin) among the 7, among the 10, or among the 16.. |
|
| May-08-22 | | whiteshark: <Tabanus> You are right, only these 7 players played for the Latvian championship. The text in your link doesn't say how exactly the winner was determined. Anyhow, Petrovs was also the winner among the <Latvian 7>: 1 Petrovs 5
=2 Dreibergs 3,5
=2 Melngailis 3,5
=2 Hāzenfuss 3,5
5 Apšenieks 3
6 Bezručko 2,5
7 Ozols 0,5

| | Tabanus: Ok, a new version is up. Probably still not perfect :) |
|
May-08-22
| | jessicafischerqueen:
<Tab> Thank you- your new version is more concise and clear for our purpose here. It's good to make this part as brief as possible, because the main topic is the <Kemeri 1939> tournament. I suggest a minor change to your latest edit to make the Latvian championship final calculus totally unambiguous: <The tournament also included the final of the 4th Latvian championship. The championship finalists included Petrov, Dreibergs, Melngailis, Hasenfuss, Apsenieks, Bezruchko and Ozols (but not Feigin, Solmanis and Koblents). Vladimir Petrov compiled the best result in the internal competition among the 7 Latvian finalists, and so was declared Latvian champion.> |
