Trebitsch Memorial 1928

Grünfeld and Takács share Vienna's memorial
19 March – 10 April 1928 · Vienna, Austria
Shared first (Gruenfeld, Takacs) — 6½/10

Ernst Grünfeld and Sándor Takács shared first in the 1928 Trebitsch Memorial, each scoring 6½/10. Four players finished just half a point behind in one of the event's most compressed leaderboards.

Six players within half a point

Grünfeld and Takács reached 6½. Baldur Hönlinger, Hans Kmoch, Josef Lokvenc, and Savielly Tartakower all scored 6, meaning half a point covered the first six places.

Albert Becker, Endre Steiner, Ladislaus von Döry, Hans Müller, and Sigmund Beutum completed the eleven-player Vienna field. The independent event page numbers this as the twelfth Trebitsch Memorial; the source-game label calls it the thirteenth, so the archive uses the neutral year-based title.

A complete memorial tournament

All 55 games of the round robin survive, and they match the crosstable. Sources disagree about which edition of the memorial this was, but not about the result.
