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. Correspondence failed
to bring the great American Masters and Capablanca was
busy writing a book. Thus, finally, Grau and Araisa were
added to complete the sixteen-man round robin.
