Game Collection: Kemeri 1939 Research Materials
Kemeri 1939 (4-20 March) Game Collection: Kemeri 1939 International Tournament/Seventh Latvian Chess Congress/Fourth official Latvian Chess Championship (Eighth Latvian Chess Championship if you include the winners of the first seven Latvian Chess Congresses)
The Kemeri (1939) International Tournament was actually two separate events melded into one. It was meant to be a second edition of the successful Kemeri (1937) International Tournament, but it also served to determine who would be crowned the 8th "Latvian Chess Champion"1

"Ķemeru viesnīcā paredzētas
pirmās 6 kārtas, bet sākot ar 10. martu, turnīru pārcels uz Rīgu, kur sacensībām aizrunāta viena no Rīgas latviešu biedrības jaunajām zālēm."
"Kemeri hotel is foreseen for first 6 rounds, but starting with March 10th, the tournament will be transferred to Riga, where Latvian Society House is arranged for the competition."
"Rīts", March 10, 1939, p. 5:
"... Septīto turnīra kārtu turpinās parīt Rīgā,Latviešu biedrībā."
"... the Seventh Round will continue to be played at the Latvian Society in Riga."
"Rīts", March 11, 1939, p. 16:
"7. kārtu izcīnīs šodien pl. 6 vak. Rīgas latviešu biedrībā."
"Round 7 will start today at 6 pm in Riga Latvian Society".
"Rīts", March 12, 1939, p. 25:
"Ķemeru starptautiskā šacha turnīra septīto kārtu izcīnīja Rīgā, Latviešu biedrības telpās, pulcinot daudz skatītāju."
"The seventh round of the Ķemeri International Chess Tournament was held in Riga, at the premises of the Latvian Society, bringing together a large number of spectators."
"Segodnia", March 2, 1939, p.4:
"The question of the Latvian participants of the 2nd international chess tournament in Kemeri is not yet resolved. Today a meeting of the governing body of the Latvian Chess Union will take place on which the list of the Latvian chess players will be finally determined. In the tournament will play V. M. Petrov and F. Apšenieks. The following candidates are: Hazenfuss, Bezruchko, Ozols, Koblencs, Melngailis, Dreibergs, Solmanis and Enzelins.
The games in the Kemeri Hotel will start on the 4th of March. The second part of the tournament will be held in Riga starting on March 10."
I would like to correct the name of Kemeri hotel, where the tournament was held from "National" to "Kemeri".
The number of sources I used is much bigger than was listed by me (which is not too small anyway). One of the sources used the name "National hotel", so I understood that it is a "National" hotel. Many other sources, including Latvian, Russian and German languages periodicals, used the name "Kurhotel" and "Kurhotels in Kemeri" ("Rigasche Rundschau", march 6, 1939, p. 1), which means "Kurort hotels in Kemeri" or "Kemeri Resort hotels".
The following article in German language mentioned the historical hotel "Kemeri", that apparently was the biggest hotel in Kemeri in 1939. (http://www.latvia.travel/de/sehensw...)
"The most impressive building was Hotel Ķemeri called "White Ship" with more than 100 rooms designed and built together by famous Latvian architect Eižens Laube and Spa Hotel's chief doctor and its director Dr.Janis Libietis. The hotel was opened to guests in 1936. "

"Rigasche Rundschau", March 11, 1939, p. 8:
"Die zweite Hälfte des Turniers wird ab heute in Riga im Lokal des Lettischen Vereins (Merkela Strasse) ausgetragen."
"The second half of the tournament will be held today in Riga in the premises of the Latvian Society (Merkela street)."
"... Arose need for new premises for meetings and other events. This task was solved in 1935 with an annex, by breaking down the adjacent 4th floors' building on Merkela Street 15 that belonged to the Society since 1902."

"Вчера началось продолжение кемеревского турнира в Риге. Из дворца в дворец и из санатория в... театральный зал. Шахматисты, игравшие целую неделю в замечательных условиях мартовской тишины в Кемери, вчера очутились в помещении Лаышского общества, перенолненном любителями королевской игры, дождавшихся, наконец, «переезда» в Ригу. К столикам было трудно протиснуться. В зале находился военный министр генерал Я. Балодис и другие почетные гости."
"Yesterday started continuation of the Kemeri tournament in Riga. From the palace to the palace and from the sanatorium to ... the theater hall. Chess players who played a whole week in the wonderful conditions of the March silence in Kemeri, found themselves in the premises of the Latvian Society, crowded by lovers of the royal game, eagerly anticipated for «move» to Riga. It was difficult to squeeze close to the tables. In the hall there was a military minister, General Jānis Balodis and other distinguished guests."
