Nottingham 1936 chess tournament
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nottingham 1936 is often considered one of the strongest chess tournaments of all time, "reminiscent of the unsurpassed quality of the of the first great Hastings tournament of 1895."[1] It included five world champions – past, present and future – and many other well known players such as Reuben Fine, Samuel Reshevsky and Salo Flohr. It was also the last major event for Emanuel Lasker. It was a round-robin tournament.
