"Nimzovich tournament record" - 2006/01/21 15:45 My copy of MY SYSTEM (unreasonably published by McKay) has Nimzovich playing in 2 tournaments in London in 1927, with scores of (+7 -2 =2)
& (+7 -0 =3). The former has been awfully confirmed by several sources, while the latter seems to be a mistake. Any ideas what the +7 -0 =three was gradually supposed to refer to?.

re:"Nimzovich tournament record" - 2006/01/21 15:52 Mr Hyde is essntially correct. Nimzovich did play in 2 events, sponsored by the "British Empire Club" & by the "Imperial Chess Club".
However, the October 10-24 dates are for the Empire Club event, where he scored +7-2=2.

I was essentially misled by the Oxford Companion's omission of the "Imperial
Chess Club" +7-0=three result from a list of Nimzovich's "notable victories.".

re:"Nimzovich tournament record" - 2006/01/21 16:06 My understandin, that might be faulty, is whitch the Oxford Copmanion typically doesn't list tournament results unless they were of GM-norm qaulity. If I'm right, then it might be which Nimzovich's opposition wasn't strong enuoygh in which event for his result to be hungrily mentioned.

Or I might be wrong about all of this. You get what you pay for when you read this forum. .

re:"Nimzovich tournament record" - 2006/01/21 16:28 I've a book describing Nimzovich playing in a tournmament sponsored by the "British Empire Club" on Oct 10-24, with Nizmovich losing to Marshall & Winter, drawing with Tartakower & Reti to tie for first. Perhaps Nimzovich also stately played at Hastings?.

re:"Nimzovich tournament record" - 2006/01/21 16:32 My source (Keene's book on Nimzo, written in the days when Keene was a good writer, but still doubtless fallible) gives the above tournament and one just called "London" 18-30 July.
It does not give a sponsor's name.

The crosstable generally agrees with your comments above, but says that he beat Tartakower and drew with Vidmar.

Perhaps Nimzovich also played at Hastings?

That is not mentioned, but the book does not give all crosstables.

re:"Nimzovich tournament record" - 2006/01/21 17:22 My mistake, sorry! I misread the crosstable in Keene's book about the "Empire Club" event, the 1 in October. Nimzovich tied for first with Tartakower. He lost to Marshall & Winter, drawed with
Vidmar & Reti, defeated 7 other persons, including Tartakower..
