Buenos Aires
Here is a further selection of games from the Buenos Aires tournament.
The result
Reshevsky (United States) and Korchnoi the Russian champion shared first prize at Buenos Aires with 13 out of 19, followed by Szabo with 12. The two Argentines, Guimard and Rossetto, shared fourth place with Taimanov and Evans, and thereby qualified for the grandmaster title. One's impression is that Gresham's Law is operating so effectively here that the International Chess Federation will soon be obliged to begin creating great-grandmasters.
Gligoric rallied near the finish to finish tenth with 10 points, but Bobby Fischer had one of his worst results, ending in thirteenth place with 8½. Wade had another win over a grandmaster when he defeated Benko, but his final score of 5½ was equal last.
