Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 140+[4 ad] pages with cross-tables, diagrams and pictures. Octavo (8" x 5½") issued in original wrappers. Bu cherei des Grossdeutschen schachbundes, Book 9. (Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana:5627) First edition. The second Europaturnier (the first one took place in Stuttgart in May 1939) was held in Munich in 8-14 September 1941. The event was organised by Ehrhardt Post, the Chief Executive of Nazi Grossdeutscher Schachbund and was a 16 person round robin event. Max Euwe had declined the invitation for München 1941 due to his "occupational obligations", as manager of a groceries business. This time he refused to participate, because Alexander Alekhine was invited. Euwe mentioned futile reasons. The real motive was Alekhine s offence of Euwe in his antisemitic articles. Alekhine wrote six Nazi articles which first appeared in the Paris newspaper Pariser Zeitung in March 1941. He wrote a series of articles for Die Deutsche Zeitung in den Niederlanden called "Jewish and Aryan Chess." The articles were reproduced in Deutsch Schachzeitung. Among others, Alekhine had written about the "Jewish clique" around Euwe in World Chess Championship 1935. The event was won by Gösta Stoltz, who scored a spectacular victory (1½ points ahead of Alekhine and Erik Lundin), and won 1,000 Reichsmarks. His trophy (donated by the Ministerpräsident Ludwig Siebert) of Meissen porcelain is worth close to $1,000. Alexander Alekhine and Erik Lundin tied for second through third with 10½ points. Efim Bogoljubow captured fourth with a score of 9½. Bjørn Nielsen and Kurt Richter tied for fifth through sixth with scores of 9. Jan Foltys was clear seventh with 9 points.
