The tournament took place in the Hotel Alamac from the 16th of March to the 18th of April 1924. The participants were Dr. Emanuel Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine, Marshall, Janowski, Maroczy, Bogolyubov, Reti, Tartakover, Edward Lasker and Yates. The time limit was 30 moves in two hours and 15 moves per hour thereafter. Capablanca was expected to be the winner but the 55-year-old Dr. Lasker proved that he was by no means a spent force and ran away with the tournament. In a number of ways, the tournament paralleled the St Petersburg (1914) tournament with the top three place getters ten years older. It was also notable for Reti's use of his own opening, resulting in Capablanca's first tournament loss in eight years, and a number of masterpieces that were created.A silver cup and $75 in gold went to Reti for his win over Bogolyubov in Round 12."--Chessgames ; clipped front endpaper ; store stamp on front inside cover, else VG - The book of the New York international chess tournament, 1924 : containing the authorized account of the 110 games played March-April, 1924 [Dover books on chess, checkers and go]
