"Dr. J. Hannak wrote in his 1959 biography ofEmanuel Lasker that "when it comes to awarding the plum for 'the greatest chess tournament ever', in 1936, the Nottingham Tournament was certainly just that".[
W. H. Watts in the Introduction to the tournament book called Nottingham 1936 "the most important chess event the world has so far seen".
It is one of the very few tournaments in chess history to include five past, present, or future world champions (Lasker, José Raúl Capablanca, Alekhine, Euwe and Botvinnik). A number of other prominent players, such as Reuben Fine, Samuel Reshevsky and Salo Flohr, were in the tournament.
The event is also notable for being Lasker's last major event and for Botvinnik achieving the first Soviet success outside the Soviet Union."
