Schlechter won the 1906 Ostend Masters' Tournament, an unusual staged event in which 36 players were whittled down to a final nine.

The format

Isidor Gunsberg's scheme paired the four groups against one another, dropped the weakest players after each stage, and ended with a single round-robin among the nine survivors. Altogether 326 games were played.

The result

Carl Schlechter won on 21 points, ahead of Géza Maróczy (20) and Akiba Rubinstein (19). Teichmann, Bernstein and Burn shared fourth to sixth place with 18.
