Meitner played in two strong international tournaments in Vienna in 1873 and Vienna in 1882. He tied for 7–8th in the first tournament (Wilhelm Steinitz and Joseph Henry Blackburne won),[4] and took 14th in the second one (Wilhelm Steinitz and Szymon Winawer won).[5] He also tied for 8–9th at Vienna 1882 (Vincenz Hruby won), took 8th at Vienna 1895 (Georg Marco won), took 4th at Vienna 1908 (Richard Réti won), and tied for 6–7th at Vienna 1909/1910 (Trebitsch Memorial, Réti won).[6]
