About This Item
30 unpaginated typescript pages with photographs and cross tables. (15 Daily Bulletins). Quarto (11" x 8 34/") typescript on recto only issued after each round with games, some annotated with commentary. (Betts: 25-258). First edition.
The Dallas 1957 chess tournament was played in Hotel Adolphus in Dallas, then the tallest building in Texas, from November 30 to December 16, 1957. The main event was a contest among eight players from seven countries. Three Polish-born grandmasters participated; Samuel Reshevsky, Miguel Najdorf and Daniel Yanofsky. Unfortunately, David Bronstein from the Soviet Union got no visa for a visit to Texas. Pal Benko defeated Ken Smith in a match that was played as a side event. The time control was 40 moves in two hours, followed by 20 moves in one hour. A bulletin was published for each round, and Isaac Kashdan functioned as commentator. Svetozar Gligori and Samuel Reshevsky tied for first with 8.5 of 15 and shared 1750 each; Laszlo Szabo and Bent Larsen shared third through fourth a full point behind. Daniel Yanofsky held sole fifth with 7 points. Friðrik Ã"lafsson captured sixth a half point behind followed by Miguel Najdorf a full point behind and Larry Evans in sole 8th at 5 points.
