Hastings 1960/61
Compiled by Phony Benoni
--*--

The 36th Hastings Congress featured these players:

Leonard Barden Igor Bondarevsky Bernard Cafferty Peter Hugh Clarke Svetozar Gligoric Arnold Yorwarth Green John Littlewood Kenneth William Lloyd Bogdan Sliwa Laszlo Szabo

The turning point came in round five. The three GMs (Gligoric, Bondarevsky and Szabo) were tied for first with 3 points, while IM Sliwa was just behind with 2.5. The round saw Bondarevsky drawn by tail-ender Cafferty and Szabo suffer defeat at the hands of Clarke, while Gligoric started a little three-game winning streak at the expense of Sliwa. Soon Gligoric had a full point lead, which he maintained until the end.
