The tournament, from 17.-29.November 16-28. Nov, according to the tournament book held in Berlin at Café Zielka, is the third international championship tournament in Germany after Dresden and Hanover. Once again, General Manager Bergmann (Dresden) of the cigarette factory Bergmann AG proved itself by earning the 1st prize of 1000 M as a deserved chess patron. The arrangement of the tournament met Master Mieses, the tournament management had taken over the well-known and proven V.Tietz (Carlsbad).
The tournament was particularly interesting because Bogolyubov after a long break again in the barriers. He was of course the favorite. But it almost seemed as if he had lost his strength due to the long game break because he started with a close draw and a loss. But then he won all matches except the last against Rubinstein, which he drew, which was enough for him to secure victory. Rubinstein had decided bad luck that he was second only despite a good game because he just lost against the bottom of the table a game.
