Czech Championship, Prague 1909
Incomplete record. This archive holds 17 of the 37 games played; 20 are missing. Only 17 of the 37 played games survive here. Twenty played scores are missing; the archive includes Traxler’s first-round draw, later annulled from the standings.
Oldřich Duras won the national masters tournament at the third ÚJČŠ congress with 7½ points from eight counted games. Karel Treybal finished second on six and Ladislav Prokeš third on five.
The third congress
The opening reception took place on August 29; play began at nine the next morning. The national masters tournament was a separate competition from the congress’s Hauptturnier and subsidiary event. Duras finished unbeaten, conceding his only half-point to Karel Treybal.
Traxler’s withdrawal
Karel Traxler withdrew after the first round because of official duties. His draw with Metoděj Gargulák was removed from the standings. The other nine players each completed eight counted games; their later scheduled meetings with Traxler became unplayed byes. The contemporary round-by-round report therefore records 37 played games, including the annulled draw, and 36 counted results.
The surviving record
Seventeen approved native scores survive, including Gargulák–Traxler. Twenty other played scores are missing. The published final standings are shown separately from the incomplete surviving game record. Original individual dates and rounds are retained.
Result
Official final standings count 36 games among nine finishers. Traxler’s played first-round draw with Gargulák was annulled after his withdrawal and is preserved in the game archive. Eight later pairings were unplayed byes. The surviving 17 scores are incomplete.
