Although 1928 did not offer such great chess events as the two New York tournaments (1924 and 1927) or Baden-Baden and Moscow (1925) or Semmering (1926) and Carlsbad (1929), the year was still one of the most important of the third decade of the twentieth century. Both Kissingen (August) and Berlin (October) were elite tournaments with few, but representative, participants. Also important were the two tourneys in Vienna, the one in Berlin (February) and Trencianske Teplice and Brno. To this list we must also add the International Team Tournament (Olympiad) and the Amateur World Championship, both held in The Hague. The tournament which is the subject of this book is a further addition. After the tournament a book of the games was edited by F. Chalupetzky and L. Toth using the contemporary analyses of Maroczy and other masters. But that work was printed in Hungarian and in a small number of copies; furthermore its arrangement was unusual, the games were arranged according to openings. Such a collection cannot give a real picture of the course of the tournament. So I am now relating the story of the tournament in the manner which is normal in chess literature.
