The event and its record

Oldřich Duras won the main tournament of the first ÚJČŠ congress at Prague with 5½ points from six games. Lev Taussig finished second on 3½, followed by Karel Treybal and Adolf Dušek on three. The seven-player round robin is recognized as the first Czech championship.

The congress took place at Café Louvre from 7 to 12 September 1905. Tournament play began on 8 September, after the federation’s founding meeting. All twenty-one main-tournament games are represented; each player had six opponents and one resting round. The other congress tournaments were separate competitions.

František Nachtikal appeared under the name Slavík in contemporary reports; these names identify the same participant. The native game records retain their dates from 8 to 11 September. The broader congress dates do not alter individual game tags.
