Alekhine - Caracas 1939
Compiled by MissScarlett
--*--

This double round tournament held in Caracas in February 1939 was intended as a training event with Alekhine competing against five prospective members of the Venezuelan team for the upcoming Olympiad in Buenos Aires (ultimately no team was entered). Limited information has survived; no crosstable has been found, round details including dates are all but unknown. We do know Alekhine won all ten games but only seven scores have surfaced.
