The 1929 Carlsbad tournament was held at the Kurhaus (Kaiserbad) imperial bath hotel. Twenty-two masters, under the direction of Viktor Tietz, participated from July 30 to August 28, 1929. The world champion Alexander Alekhine did not play but he wrote six reports for "The New York Times" during the tournament. Women's world champion Vera Menchik participated.

Nimzowitsch got 20,000 Kronen, Capablanca and Spielmann 12,000 Kronen each, Rubinstein 8,000 Kronen, Becker, Vidmar and Euwe 5,000 Kronen each, and Bogoljubow 3,000 Kronen. Nimzowitsch expected to become challenger of the world champion and expressed his desire on his visiting cards.
