To those of you who read the description: You are an excellent subscriber! :)
The St Petersburg Tournament of 1914 featured the joint winners of the 1914 All Russian Championship and players who had won at least one major tournament. There were the veterans Blackburne and Gunsberg, established masters such as Tarrasch, Bernstein, Janowski, Nimzowitsch, Alekhine and Marshall as well as the World Champion Lasker and his two most prominent rivals, Rubinstein and Capablanca.
The tournament was divided into two sections. The first stage from the 21st April to the 6th of May was an all-play-all event with the first five finishers proceeding into the second stage which ran from the 10th to the 22nd of May. This second stage was a double round all-play-all with the scores from the preliminaries being carried over to the final.
Prizes amounted to 1200, 800, 500, 300 and 200 Rubles. Each non-prizewinner received 20 Rubles for every game won and 10 Rubles for every drawn game.
A brilliancy prize was being considered for Nimzowitsch vs Tarrasch, 1914 after the 5th round's finish, but more than 2 rounds later, it was awarded a 2nd brilliancy prize as the runner-up to the Capablanca vs O Bernstein, 1914 coup.
The main source for this collection was the St. Petersburg 1914 International Chess Tournament book by Dr Siegbert Tarrasch. ISBN 0-939433-17-6.

Janowski had two interesting plays to possibly defend the advance of the D pawn. Queen takes on e3, which was available for a while, or Knight back to g5, countering the pawn push with capture on e4. Perhaps I'll try those with an engine and see. Edit: Ok yea, neither works, the white Knight covers e3 (duh) and Knight back to g5 can be pushed back with the H pawn and then the plan just proceeds. Engine says Queen to d6 is the defense, before the pawn is pushed.

Hi Agad,as you are covering the good old times maybe you could make a video about Mir Sultan Khan. He is one of the most mysterious figures in chess. He came out of nowhere only knowing Indian Chess. Without any opening theory he became one of the stongest players and even beat Capablanca.
