These tournaments were a chess competition organized by the family of Austrian silk manufacturer Leopold Trebitsch. Twenty tournaments were played in Vienna between 1907 and 1938.
Leopold Trebitsch (1842–1906) loved chess and je and his family contributed greatly to the Vienna Chess Club (Wiener Schachklub) to organize the series of tournaments. Because Trebitsch died one month before the first tournament the competitions were named in his memory.
Six of the first nine events (1907–18) were won by Carl Schlechter, but his death in December 1918, along with the loss of the Club's Trebitsch fund in the aftermath of World War I, put a temporary halt to the tournament. In 1926, Trebitsch's son made more funds available, enabling eleven additional tournaments to be held until 1938, when Germany's annexation of Austria ended the event.
Here is one of only a handful of known Simon Rubinstein's games. Chessnetrics estimates his highest rating to have been 2540 in 1937, ranking him in 67th place. On that list the leaders were: Euwe was first (2753) followed by Botvinnik (2752), Capablanca (2751), Alekhine (2750) and Reshevsky (2745).

D26: Queen's Gambit Accepted 1.d4 d5 2.f3 f6 3.c4 dxc4 The QGA is not
a true gambit because white regains the P because it is unprofitable for black
to keep it. White will try to use his center space to lainch an attack. Black
will try to hold white;s center at bay and gain an advantage in the endgame by
giving white an isolated d-Pawn. The resulting oisitons can lead to a sharp
fight. 4.c3 e6 5.e3 c5 6.xc4 c6 7.0-0 cxd4 8.exd4 e7 9.f4 a6 10.e1 0-0 11.c1 11.d2 b5 12.b3 b7 13.a3 b6 This position is nearly
equal. Walta,P-Seto Wai Ling Dubai 1986 11.a3 This is satisfactory if
followed up correctly. b5 12.d5 exd5 12...bxc4 This captur is wrong.
Shevchenko,D-Tarnovetsky,R Evpatoria 2005 continued 13.dxc6 b6 14.d4 xb2 15.a4 Whute won quickly. 13.xd5 b7 with equal chances. 11...b4 12.a3 bd5 13.e5 He could also have pkaced a N on e5, but the text also works
out well. 13.g3 xc3 14.xc3 b5 15.a2 b7 16.e5 13...b5 14.a2
In these types of positions white wull set up a battery attacking h7 with Bb1
and Qd3 b7 15.xd5 xd5 16.b1 d7 17.d3 While the position
is theoretically equal white seems to be the one with all the chances and to
keep thing equal black will be forced to defend accurately which is never an
easy task. g6 18.d2 The Q never leaves here, but apparently white was
thinking about the possibility of Qh6. The immediate advance 18,h4 was equally
giid. fc8 19.h4 f6 20.g5 White's pieces have a lot of pent up energy,
but sp far black has defended in a satisfactory manner and the position is
equal. However, black now slips up. h5 Black is barking up the wrong tree.
Instead of trying to bust up whiye's K-side attack he needs to hunker down on
the defensive. 20...xc1 21.xc1 d8 22.f4 d5 with a solid position. 21.xf7 This speculative sacrifice pays off handsomely, but with correct
defensem always a difficult job, black can equalize. The sharo\p 21.g4 secures
a clear plus though. 21.g4 xc1 22.xc1 c8 23.e3 f6 24.gxh5 fxe5 25.hxg6 h6 25...hxg6 26.xg6 is winning for white. 26.e4 xe4 27.xe4 xd4 28.xd4 exd4 29.xe6 Black is in serious trouble. 21...xh4
Fatal! This P is meaningless. Taking the N keeps the chances
eqiual...white can't whip up any serious threats. 21...xf7 22.h6 f6 23.xf6 xf6 24.xh7+ g7 25.xg6+ f8 An interesting position that is
theoretically equal: white has 3 Ps vs. a B. In Shootouts using Stockfish
white scored +1 -0 =5. Using the older, weaker Fritz 5.32 white scored +1 -2
=02. So, in actual play the outcome would be unclear. 22.h6+ f8 23.g4 xc1 24.xc1 d5 Played with the forlorn hope that white will overlook the
mate. 25.f3 f6 26.e4 Black resigned. 26.e4 d8 26...d7 27.c7
wins 27.xf6 27.xb7 xe5 28.gxh5 also wins 27...xf6 28.xb7 d8 29.gxh5 xd4 30.c8+ e7 31.g8+ etc. 1–0
