Introduction

1929 was a year of many tournaments and ma,:\y of them have been published:

Hastings 1928/9

Scarborough 1929

Ramsgate Team Tournament 1929

Rogaska Slatina 1929 incomplete

Barcelona 1929

Bradley Beach 1929

Budapest 1929

Karlsbad 1929

Paris 1929

In addition, the games of Duisburg 1929 have been found and are being prepared for publication.

The tournament in Stockholm , always referred to as Stockholm 1928/9 was, in fact, played entirely in December 1928. The often repeated error in the tournament's date was caused by a printing mistake in the Swedish magazine which has since been endlessly copied.

After the appearance of this collection, the following tournaments remain to be published, if sufficient games can be found:

Goteborg (August) 45 games (21 known)

Berlin (June) 45 games

Berlin (December) 45 games

Hamburg 1928/9 24 games

and perhaps Rosario (Argentina) May/June 72 games (33 known)
