Favorite Games from (1960-1979)
Compiled by wanabe2000

Selected Games and Tournament Information.

No sooner did Mikhail Botvinnik regain his title, the chess world became entranced by charismatic young Latvian named Mikhail Tal who won the 1958 interzonal tournament at Portoroz, then won the World Championship in 1960. Due to WC conditions he had to give a re-match in 1961. Due to health issues he lost the title back to Botvinnik.

Botvinnik would, finally, lose the title to Tigran Petrosian in 1963. This time there was no provision in the rules for a return match, so Botvinnik retired from world championship competition, leaving Petrosian to hold the title for a full 3-year cycle.

Petrosian would remain Champion until 1969 when Boris Spassky would win and become Champion. Spassky would lose to Bobby Fischer in 1972.

In 1972, while the world's gaze was fixed on Iceland, a company in America had plans to generate publicity for itself through the chess world. Church's Fried Chicken, a restaurant chain in the United States, organized an international tournament to be held in San Antonio, Texas. European and Soviet grandmasters were pitted against grandmasters and masters from the Americas in a round robin format. The top three participants were (in order of ELO): Tigran Petrosian (2645), Lajos Portisch (2640), Anatoli Karpov (2630). They, also, finished equal first.
