The 22nd Torneo Internacional de Ciudad Mar del Plata was held in Mar del Plata, Argentina from March 23rd to April 10th, 1959. Among the notable participants were sixteen year old grandmaster Bobby Fischer from the United States. Najdorf and Pachman tied for first place with +7 each at the final. Fischer managed to match Pachman's eight wins, but lost an additional game more than the Czech grandmaster, which was only good enough for shared 3rd-4th with grandmaster Ivkov. suenteus po 147's: Game Collection: Mar del Plata 1959.
Great Tournament collection by suenteus po 147: Game Collection: Zurich 1959. Before the candidates tournament Bobby played in the strong Zurich tournament. He came in equal 3rd with Keres with 10.5 points behind the winner Tal with 11.5 points and Gligoric with 11 points. Bobby's performance was described as "superb".
Resignation Trap's Game Collection: WCC Index (Candidates Tournament 1959) where a young Bobby Fischer gained valuable international experience. He was disappointed with his 6th place finish out of 8 candidates with 12.5 points in 28 games. Mikhail Tal won the 4 games with Bobby and finished first with 20 points. This would be the last time Tal would beat Fischer.
Great Tournament collection by suenteus po 147: Game Collection: Mar del Plata 1960. Fischer in 1960 traveled to South America and met the future world champion Boris Spassky in round 2. Boris would win this encounter with the King's Gambit. However, Bobby won 13 games to tie Spassky for first with 13.5 out of 16 games.
Next was Buenos Aires where the tournament turned out to be the most unsuccessful in Fischer's entire career.
Selected games from the Bled International Tournament in 1961 are presented. Fischer was undeafeated but finished second with 13.5/19 behind the winner Mikhail Tal who had 14.5/19.

Monte Carlo 1967 was another important triumph for Fischer as he placed clear first ahead of both Smyslov and Geller, despite dropping a point and a half to both players. Although Smyslov finished undefeated with +4, it was only good enough for clear second behind Fischer. See all the games at suenteus po 147's: Game Collection: Monte Carlo 1967

Fischer utterly dominated this super-strong field with a 19-3 score (17 wins, four draws, and one loss), 4 1/2 points better than 2nd place finisher Tal.
