One of the worst results from Colle’s career. Alekhine, on the other hand, scored a convincing win. L’Échiquier ([1]) gives all games and the crosstable. The exact dates were kindly sent to me by Mr. Jurgens, quoting [2]. The same source apparently mentions that this tournament was an initiative of Mr. James Conti, secretary of the Cercle de la Rotonde and was played under the directorship of Alphonse Goetz. The prizes were 1000 francs and 500 francs. The non-prize winners received 100 francs per victory and 50 francs per draw.
Wanted
