Kolisch Memorial Vienna 1899/1900
The second Kolisch Memorial began in Vienna in the closing days of 1899 and ended early in 1900. Géza Maróczy won the twelve-player round-robin with 9/11, a point and a half ahead of Carl Schlechter and Miklós Bródy.
A tournament in two years
The event opened on 18 December 1899 and concluded on 4 January 1900. Twelve players each completed eleven games, producing a 66-game crosstable. Edo notes that one of its cited historical sources dates the tournament only to 1899, while the detailed event record spans both years.
Maróczy alone in first
Maróczy's 9/11 secured clear first. Schlechter and Bródy shared the next score on 7½, Semyon Alapin followed with 6½, and Georg Marco, Adolf Zinkl, and Heinrich Wolf each scored 6.
