Lone Pine 1979
Compiled by Benzol

NOTE : This collection has now been superceded by Lone Pine (1979)

This 1979 tournament held from the 25th of March to the 4th of April was the ninth in the series of annual events that have been held in the small Californian town of Lone Pine. Lone Pine was the home of American millionaire Louis D Statham and for this tournament he put up a prize fund of more than $45,000 which attracted 27 Grandmasters and 22 International Masters from 18 countries. The final number of participants reached seventy-three.

The lead changed hands a number of times in this nine round Swiss Tournament but in the end four players; Liberzon, Gheorghiu, Gligoric and Hort shared top honours. They each received $8,875 and Gligoric and Liberzon made history by becoming the first players to win twice at Lone Pine. Liberzon was the sole winner of the 1975 event and Gligoric was a joint winner in the 1972 event. Hans Ree could have joined the leaders but an oversight in a winning rook ending against Sahovic in the last round cost him a GM norm and dropped him into the second tier of place getters which included Larsen, Gruenfeld, Lombardy, Sahovic and Sosonko. They each received $1008.

Another notable performance was that of the then 19-year-old Yasser Seirawan who played a field that included all four winners and in the process he defeated Miles and Larsen as well. Seirawan and the four winners scored the only GM results. Seirawan, along with DeFirmian and van der Sterren earnt IM titles. Morris, Bradford, Peters and Odendahl achieved IM norms whilst Root and Strauss achieved FM norms.

Rajan Ayyar pulled out after five rounds. Oleg Romanishin and Vitaly Tseshkovsky were slated to play but when it was discovered that Korchnoi would also be playing the Soviet authorities cancelled their entries.

Two brilliancy prizes were awarded in each round. The following were the recipients :

Round 1 - Grefe and Barle
