In the early part of the 20th century, it was necessary for the ambitious European amateur to win a succession of prizes in small tournaments, to progress to a higher level of competition. The creation of the ''hauptturnier'' enabled the process to become more formalized, and they became a regular feature of the major German chess congresses. Winning such an event conferred the title of 'Master of the German Chess Federation', and this, in turn, could be used to gain admittance to prestigious international tournaments. Some of the best players in chess history, such as [[Emanuel Lasker]] and [[Siegbert Tarrasch]], secured their Master titles and advanced their chess careers in this way.<ref>Lombardy & Daniels 1977, pp. 10, 11</ref> }} {{term|term= heavy piece|content= heavy piece {{anchor|Heavy piece|heavy pieces}} }} {{defn|defn= See ''[[#major piece|major piece]]''.}} {{Chess diagram small |tright | | |kd| | | | | | |pd| |pd| | | | | |xo|pd|xo| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |pl|oo|pl| | | | |pl|oo|pl| | | |pl|pl| | | | |pl|pl | | | | | | |kl| |The dots indicate holes.
