Inc. 2 OES SSeS SS ee a KS KX INTRODUCTION & The International Tournament in San Remo, Italy, in 1930 brought together the leading chess masters of Europe. tn the beginning, the tournament organizers had planned on twelve to eighteen players, offering prizes to the top six. Of the invitees, Grunfeld and Mattison rarely com- pete in tournaments these days and the first named is very busy directing operations at many large tournaments, while the other simply declined.
