Leonhardt wins the Nordic congress masters' group
4–18 August 1907 · Copenhagen, Denmark
Leonhardt won with 5½/8

Five players contested the master tournament at Copenhagen's Nordic Chess Congress in a double round-robin. Paul Saladin Leonhardt won with 5½/8, one point ahead of Géza Maróczy and Carl Schlechter.

A five-player double round-robin

Leonhardt, Maróczy, Schlechter, Jørgen Møller, and Orla Hermann Krause each met twice. The five-player format gave every competitor eight games and produced twenty games overall.

The surviving source records do not give the archive a reliable round label for each score, so the games remain in verified source order rather than being assigned invented rounds.

Leonhardt alone at the top

Leonhardt finished on 5½. Maróczy and Schlechter shared second with 4½, Møller scored 4, and Krause 1½. Those scores account for all twenty games in the crosstable.
