Buenos Aires tournament
The distinguished array of grandmasters at Buenos Aires have produced a number of fine games; here is a selection.
World team championship: The English team for the world championship at Leipzig, which begins on October 15, will be, in board order, Penrose, Golombek (captain), Clarke, Haygarth, Barden and Wade.
British championship: 34 players have qualified or been selected for the tournament beginning at Leicester on August 15. They are Abrahams, Dr. Aitken, Alexander, Barden, Beach, Beaty, Bennett, Bruce, Cafferty, Clarke, Edwards, Fallone, Dr. Fazekas, Fuller (R.A.), Golombek, Hall, Hawson, Haygarth, Hollis, Levens, Lloyd, (D.E.), Lloyd (K.W.), Malcolm, Naylor, Newman Parr, Payne, Penrose, Pritchard, Sergeant, Thomas, Thompson, Wheeler, and Wood. The first prize will be over £200, and the remaining prizes have been increased to £40, £20, and £10.
Buenos Aires tournament: After 13 rounds the leaders are Reshevsky 9,
Unzicker (the only unbeaten player) 8½,
Evans and Szabo 8.
Korchnoi 7½, (one adjourned).
Olafsson, Rossetto, and Uhlmann 7½.
Bobby Fischer and Gligoric are continuing to do badly, and Fischer's 22-move defeat by Unzicker was the quickest defeat of his career. Rossetto's score is remarkable; he lost his first four games but has since defeated four grandmasters. Wade's win over Korchnoi remains his only success, and with 2½ points he appears doomed to finish bottom.
