A player with a low profile and not many tournament wins, Leonhardt has been largely forgotten by the history books.
However, at his best, he was able to defeat most of the elite players of the period.Tarrasch, Tartakower, Nimzowitsch, Maróczy and Réti all succumbed to his fierce attacking style between 1903 and 1920.
He won several brilliancy prizes.
