from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karel Treybal (born February 2, 1885 in Kotopeky , Okres Beroun , † October 2, 1941 in Prague ) was a Czech chess player .

Karel Treybal studied law in Prague and, like his older brother František (1882–1941), developed into a good chess player. In 1912 he won a match against Karel Hromádka 5-2 in 4 draws . In the First World War Treybal was wounded twice and fell into Russian captivity . He later worked as a lawyer and became chairman of the District Court of Velvary , a small town near Prague.

His greatest international success as a chess player was reaching sixth place at the international tournament in Karlovy Vary in 1923, during which he also defeated the future world champion Alexander Alexandrowitsch Alekhine with the black pieces.
