INTRODUCTION.
In placing the Nottingham Tournament Book in the hands
of the great Chess Public a suitable opportunity is available at
long last to pay just tribute to the public spirit, as well as to the
magnificent generosity, of Alderman I. N. Derbyshire, ].P., F.C.A.
In the first place the Tournament was his idea, and he also
conceived the ambitious notion of securing the present world
champion and the three previous holders of the title as
competitors, together with a number of other almost equally
famous world masters and the best talent which British
Chess could provide. The Tournament was intended to mark
the Iubilee of the Nottingham Tournament of 1886, and
also to commemorate Alderman Derbyshire's victory in one of
the minor events at that meeting. The handsome board and set
of men which he won on that occasion were on exhibition during
the Tournament.
'l'o mark the gratitude of the Chess World and to link his
name for ever with the most important chess event the world has
so far seen, I am glad to have secured his permission to dedicate
this official record of the great Nottingham Tournament of 1936
to him. This Tournament is more than an incident in Chess
History, it is an incident of no little importance in the history of
our country, for this is an age when not only are sporting events
of all kinds considered to be matters of national importance, but
recreative pursuits of all kinds are encouraged by governmental
authority.
The present book constitutes the official record of the
Tournament, and I was entrusted with the task of producing it
by the British Chess Federation and with their approval I con-
cluded arrangements with Dr. A. Alekhine to supply the
annotations. Perhaps here I may be allowed to introduce an
explanation as to the length of time which the book has ‘taken
to produce. I secured Dr. Alekhine's manuscript containing the
scores and annotations in Ianuary, 1937, and immediately sent it
to the printers. They very promptly returned it and refused to

have anything to do with it! No compositor, however expert
a chess player he might be, could possibl understand it—mucl1
less be able to put it into type. I thereflore had to engage the
services of two well-known British chessplayers to re-write the
whole manuscript in such a form as would be acceptable copy
for the printer—and to do this satisfactorily they had to decipher
and play through every note. It was also necessary to make
readable diagrams at every point indicated by Alekhine. After the
x INTRODUCTION
printers set up the type the proofs were carefully checked two or
three times by each of at least three well-known British players
used to the work, and ten months have sli ped by in doing this
and in the printing and binding. Not und)uly long!
I have had a wide experience of authors' manuscripts on
very manfy subjects, but I have never seen worse specimens than
those of amous chess masters, and have only seen one worse than
that for the present book, and that was the MS. of Lasl6§

The crisis of the game. Instead of improving his position by the
obvious I2 P-B4, White allows Black to carry out his intention. He
had no reason to fear I2 P-B4, Kt x P. In fact, after I3 P x Kt, Q x P ;
I4 R-Ql, Q-K6ch.; I5 B-K2, Kt-K5; I6 Kt-Kt4White would easily
maintain his advantage.

In conjunction with Black's next move this is a tempting, but

I believe that Kt-K5—introduced by me against F. S'a'misch,
Dresden, I936, and played also in the present tournament against
j. R. CapabIanca—offers Black comparatively better fighting chances.
It is generally in the interests of the second player to delay as long
as logically possible the advance of his QP in this opening, so as to
keep the choice between the two points, Q3 and Q4.

4 QKt-Q2
The usual move nowadays is 4 B-Q2, in order to develop the Kt
on the more natural square QB3. But, on the other hand, if Black
wants to avoid the exchange of his KB, he will now be forced to lose
time by retiring it to K2. The text-move therefore cannot be
condemned. It has the advantage anyhow of leading to more com-
plicated lines than the usual move.

Instead of this exchange, which yields White the advantage of
the pair of Bishops without necessity, Black could play either P-Q4
(Rubinstein-Alekhine, Semmering, I926) or even B-K2, followed by
P-Q3, QKt-Q2, etc. In both cases he would have better equalising
prospects than in the actual game.

Black shows his hand decidedly too early. The obvious object

purpose the B must be protected, to avoid the possible answer

Game No. 72
S. FLOHR v. W. WINTER.
Retl's Opening (Q.G.D., Slav Defence, in effect).

White delays P-Q4 until his opponent plays QKt-Q2, in order
to obtain a rather favourable variation in the Slav Defence. This
Ilne of play, introduced in the Moscow International Tournament of
I936, has the disadvantage, however, of not compelling Black to
answer with QKt-Q2.

INDEX TO OPENINGS. The numbers refer to pages.
In a few cases it will be found that the order of the moves in the game does not correspond with
the order in the index, but in all cases the same position as that indexed is arrived at by transposition.
The openings are named, classified and indexed according to the form resulting from the transposition.
Thus, Game No. 3l is indexed as Q.P. game (King's Indian) although according to White’: first two moves
it could be called “ Reti's Opening."
