πŸ”Έ Bad Kissingen 1928

πŸ”Ή Twelve of the best masters around came to the Bavarian spa town of Bad Kissingen for an all-star tournament:

πŸ”»Efim Bogoljubov,
πŸ”» Jose Raul Capablanca,
πŸ”»Max Euwe
πŸ”»Frank James Marshall
πŸ”»Jacques Mieses
πŸ”»Aron Nimzowitsch
πŸ”»Richard Reti
πŸ”»Akiba Rubinstein
πŸ”»Rudolf Spielmann
πŸ”»Siegbert Tarrasch
πŸ”»Savielly Tartakower
πŸ”»Fred Dewhirst Yates

πŸ”Ή While this was an opportunity for Capablanca to regain some of his luster after the match with Alekhine, it was Bogoljubov who pulled another one of those commanding performances out of his hat to finish on top by a point. Such performances provided a good reason for Alekhine to pick him as a match opponent.

πŸ”Ή A big push in the middle of the tournament gave Bogoljubov a 1.5 point lead over Capablanca, whom Spielmann had defeated in round 6 for what would prove to be his only victory in the event. Capablanca got to within 1/2 point by defeating Bogoljubov in round 9, but no closer. The tournament also saw an excellent performance by Max Euwe, who stayed near the top before fading at the very end.

πŸ”ΉEfim Bogoljubov
πŸ”ΉRussian German chess grandmaster

πŸ”°Efim Dmitriyevich Bogolyubov was a Russian-born German chess grandmaster who won numerous events and played two matches against Alexander Alekhine for the world championship

πŸ”˜Full name: Efim Dmitriyevich Bogolyubov
πŸ”˜Country: Russia Germany
πŸ”˜Born: April 14, 1889
πŸ”»Stanislavchyk, Tarashcha Uyezd, Kiev Governorate, Russian Empire (now Kiev Oblast, Ukraine)
πŸ”˜Died: June 18, 1952 (aged 63)
πŸ”»Triberg im Schwarzwald, West Germany
πŸ”˜Title: Grandmaster (1951)

πŸ”°Efim Dimitrievich Bogoljubov was born in Stanislavchyk, Kiev. After being a prisoner in Germany during the First World War he was 1st at Berlin 1919.
His first great international success came at Bad Pistyan (1922). After sharing 1st with Alexander Alekhine and Geza Maroczy at Karlsbad (1923), he won both the USSR Championship (1924) and the USSR Championship (1925). He then relocated to Germany. His greatest international victory came at Moscow (1925), where he finished 1.5 points ahead of a field that included Emanuel Lasker as well as Jose Raul Capablanca, the former and current World champions. At Bad Kissingen (1928), he again won first prize ahead of Capablanca, and in 1929 Alekhine - Bogoljubov World Championship Match (1929) and 1934 Alekhine - Bogoljubov World Championship Rematch (1934) he played two World Championship matches with Alekhine, losing both times.

πŸ”°After World War II he only played in a few tournaments. FIDE first awarded the International Grandmaster title in 1950, but denied the title to Bogoljubov because they claimed he had been an ardent supporter of Hitler. FIDE awarded him the title the following year.
