| Hastings 1963/64 |
|
The 39th Hastings Christmas Chess Festival was held at the end of the year 1963. Ten grandmasters and masters were invited to compete in a round robin format at the premier event. The notable participants of this edition included 5-time Hastings winner Svetozar Gligoric and former world champion Mikhail Tal. Continuing a tradition recently renewed by Mikhail Botvinnik, Tal joined the league of former and future world champions to take clear first at the event, finishing undefeated with +5 at the final. Gligoric followed closely with +4 for clear second place. Hastings, England, 30 December 1963 - 8 January 1964 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 Pts

 | | GrahamClayton: Khasin makes his international tournament debut at the age of 40. I wonder how and why he received an invitaiton to play at Hastings? |

 | | perfidious: It was typical of the Soviet federation to send two top-notch GMs from their stable to play at Hastings. While Khasin had already appeared in four Soviet finals, neither was he one of the elite GMs from that country. My guess is that someone else was invited, but had to stand down, so Khasin filled his spot. |
