Premium Chessgames Member		  fredthebear: Bent Larsen was first:-)

I'm always glad to see you <notyetagm>. You have pointed out so many interesting positions over the years.

Here the Nc1 is defended FOUR times. Guess what happens? J Tarjan vs Larsen, 1968

Dec-08-23
Premium Chessgames Member		  Troller: Final standings: 1.Larsen 11/12 2.Benkö & Browne 9.5 4.Byrne, Kaufman, Saidy 9 7.de Fotis & Weinstein 8.5

Larsen drew Benkö in rd 7 and Byrne in rd 9.

<After the match in Malmö my plans were to take a long break but upon my return home I found an invitation from Canada and the US. The two chess federations would in unison pay my plane tickets if I would play their open championships. I discovered that this was also a fine way of relaxing, and by the way, there were more money to be made in these two unpretentious tournaments than the entire Candidates Tournament. August 9th I flew to New York.>

The venue was <Snowmass-at-Aspen> in Colorado. 172 participants, 12 rounds in 13 days.

Chess patron Isador Samuel Turover awarded a brilliancy prize of 50$ won by the following game:

Premium Chessgames Member		  Troller: Now some annoying editor already corrected the tournament standings above so my previous post seems stupid.
Dec-08-23
Premium Chessgames Member		  perfidious: Nerve of the bugger--I'll have to blow the whistle for that offence. My opening edit is also now of little use.

Premium Chessgames Member		  MissScarlett: If a copy of <PB>'s (Game Collection: US Open 1968, Aspen) is made, the crosstable might be copy & pasted here....
Dec-08-23
Premium Chessgames Member		  perfidious: Went the cut and paste route; the formatting was dreadful.
Dec-08-23
Premium Chessgames Member		  MissScarlett: I don't mean a direct cut and paste from the collection page. I meant cloning the collection (which is readily done), and then lifting the crosstable from the edit page text.

Premium Chessgames Member		  GrahamClayton: “The 1968 U.S. Open Chess Tournament started at Snowmass-at-Aspen Sunday and will continue for two weeks. Aspenite Bill Murray displays the concentration that, in itself, should be sufficient to move the chess men. Among the 200 competitors are such grand masters as Pal Benko, Bent Larsen, Dr. Anthony Saidy, Robert Byrne and James Sherwin. Play starts at 7 p.m. each evening. A total of $4500 in prizes has been guaranteed. Cities which bid for the event this year include Lincoln, Newark, Santa Monica, Cleveland and Milwaukee.”
