La circunstancia de que este autor administrara una ajedrecería durante 38 años (1981-2019) favoreció la progresiva acumulación de materiales his- tóricos y de colección: todas las revistas argentinas de ajedrez, muy diversos libros de recortes, colecciones completas de diarios como La Nación y Crítica, importantes lotes de revistas ex- tranjeras (Chess, British Chess Magazine, Xadrez Brasileiro, Deutsche Schachblätter, Deutsche Schachzeitung, uruguayas, chilenas, cubanas, etc.), documentos oficiales y personales de grandes maestros. La llegada de la tecnología a fines de la década de 1990 facilitó el escaneo, digitalización y clasificación de los elementos, pero el ordenamiento final llevó no menos de 15 años. Los conceptos históricos y culturales que se insertan aquí se fundan en las profundas ideas del escritor Ezequiel Martínez Estrada (1895-1964), principalmente sobre la base de sus obras de las décadas del ’30 y del ’40.

    HEALTH RESORTS: Semmering 1926 & 1937 Extract and extended reprint of the great original by Jan van Reek, www.endgame.nl SEMMERING 1926 The southern road from Wien leads to the Semmering Pass. The Grand Hotel Panhans was built at the Semmering in 1888. This facility was used for a tournament of eighteen masters from 7 until 29 iii 1926. Spielmann’s name stood not on the first list of Bernstein! Later he was invited. Nimzowitsch and Tartakower led at first. Spielmann and Alekhine competed for the first prize then. Finally, Rudolf Spielman surprisingly won, ahead of Alekhine on second place. Vidmar sr. was sole third, followed by Nimzowitsch and Tartakower as fourth, Rubinstein and Tarrasch as sixth, in total 18 players contested: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chesscollection?cid=1013596 (Chessgames) Grand Hotel Panhans at the Semmering Casino of Baden bei Wien in modern times SEMMERING / BADEN bei Wien 1937 Casinos had to spend a part of their income on cultural aims. And a chess tournament is relatively cheap and deluxe promotion. That was the base for many chess events in casinos. When Austrian casinos organised a grandmaster contest in 1937, chaos ruled. Some men got phony invitations at first. Only Capablanca was treated with respect. Matters were sorted out, before the tournament was played from 8 until 27 ix 1937. Eight excellent masters carried out double rounds. World champion Euwe was chief arbiter. When he left, Spielmann replaced him. The first four rounds were conducted at the Grand Hotel Panhans in Semmering, and then moved to the Hotel Grüner Baum in Baden bei Wien, Austria for the duration of the tournament.
