Podebrady 1936
Compiled by Phony Benoni

The 14th Czechoslovak Championship was held at Podebrady (also Podebrad or Bad Podebrad) from July 5-26, 1936. It was organized as an international event with the title going to the top Czech finisher. The 18 combatants included:

Alexander Alekhine, Erich Eliskases, Stefan Fazekas, Salomon Flohr, Jan Foltys, Paulino Frydman, Vera Menchik, Karel Opocensky, Jiri Pelikan, Vladimir Petrov, Vasja Pirc, Kurt Richter, Karel Skalicka, Gideon Stahlberg, Lajos Steiner, George Alan Thomas, Karel Treybal, Emil Zinner

Resignation Trap has tracked down several photos of the action, and was also able to fill in some of the historical gaps.

First, a class photo, minus Fazekas: http://www.rogerpaige.me.uk/images/...

Flohr and Alekhine picking up a few pointers from the round 10 game Eliskases vs L Steiner, 1936 http://smzsnzz.wz.cz/fotky1/0119.JPG

Speaking of Flohr and Alekhine, the two world championship candidates started a bit slowly by drawing each other in round 1 and not setting a torrid pace thereafter. Alekhine did remain undefeated, but Flohr lost to Eliskases in round 6 and spent most ot the tournament making up ground. However, after round 9 they had pulled ahead of the field, Alekhine having 7 points and Flohr 6.

The problem was that they still weren't in the lead. Paulin (not yet Paulino) Frydman had scored 8 points, with the help of a six-game winning streak in rounds 2-7.

Unfortunately for Frydman, this is where the tough part of his schedule began; he would not win another game for the rest of the event. The trouble started when he lost to Alekhine in round 10. A short draw with with Stahlberg was followed by bad losses to Menchik and Petrov. That set up the round 14 game with Flohr, which reached this position with Black (Frydman) to play:

Frydman was still only one point behind co-leaders Alekhine and Flohr, and 23...f5! would give him good winning chances--but instead, Frydman resigned! There have been some tales that he suffered a nervous breakdown after the game with Alekhine, but Edward Winter has debunked that (http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/...). In any case, such collapses are not unusual once a player's momentum is broken.

Round 14 was nearly disastrous for Alekhine as well, playing Black against Treybal (to play)

Now 61.Be4! would win for White, the main line being 61...Qa7 62.f6+ Bg6 63.Bxg6+ Kxg6 64.f7+ Kh5 65.Qxh6+! Kxf6 66.f8Q+, and White will be able to protect his king and win with the extra piece. Instead, Treybal played the disastrous <61.f6??>, and was forced to resign after <61...Bg6+>.

This left Alekhine and Flohr still tied at 10.5, their nearest competitor being Pirc at 9.5. Round 15 saw Flohr take his first lead by defeating Pelikan, while Alekhine and Stahlberg had a short draw. Alekhine got back on track the next round by defeating Menchik, but Flohr stayed ahead by ending any faint chances Pirc might have had.

In the final round, Flohr played it safe with a 17-move draw. Alekhine played it dangerously, but was unable to get anything substantial against Petrov and narrowly avoided losing in the end.
