This is not a reprint, but a new tournament book of one of the most famous tournaments in history. All 105 games are annotated with notes from various sources, both contemporary and by the author, including the use of Stockfish. All of the World's top ten played except Lasker, who had just married. The tournament was surprisingly won by Capablanca, for whom it was the first tournament in Europe. He was followed by Rubinstein, Vidmar, Marshall, Tarrasch, Schlechter, Nimcovich, Bernstein, Spielmann, Teichmann, Maroczy, Janowski, Burn, Duras, Leonhardt. There is a well-known story where Bernstein protested against Capablanca's participation because of his lack of player strength, but lost to him in the very first round even in a game that won the beauty prize and is famous to this day. Picture 2 shows the contents of the book.
