Events in chess in 1941 ==Chess events in brief== * ''Basic Chess Endings'' by Reuben Fine was published. * 29 August 1941 - Gideon Ståhlberg played a 400 game simultaneous exhibition in Buenos Aires; 364 wins, 14 draws, 22 losses. * 8–14 September 1941 - ''Europaturnier'' held in Munich, was organised by Ehrhardt Post, the Chief Executive of Nazi ''Grossdeutscher Schachbund''. 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 anti-Semitic articles.〔http://www.endgame.nl/salz1942.htm〕 Alekhine wrote six Nazi articles which first appeared in the Paris newspaper ''Pariser Zeitung'' in March 1941. He wrote a series of articles for the ''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 Munich 1941 chess tournament 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.〔http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/winter14.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1941 in chess」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
