Vienna 1905

February 6 - March 7.

The masters tournament arranged by the Vienna Chess Club commenced on the 6th inst. Maroczy could not take part on account of ill-health, and neither Porges (Praque) nor Bardeleben (Berlin) could respond to the invitation of the commitee owing to the notice being too short. Instead of Maroczy, however Fleissmann, of Budapest, has entered, and, judging by the score, he may prove an acceptable  substitute for the older master. Herr Fleischmann gained the mastership at Hannover, and took part in the Monte Carlo Rice Gambit Tournament last Year.
