13th US Championship Tournament, 1960-1961
Compiled by Resignation Trap
--*--

Work in Progress
This tournament marked Bobby Fischer's fourth straight title as US Champion. It was also a zonal tournament.

Not all games from this tournament are currently available, and only 15 of the 66 games are on the Chessgames Home Page database as of today (April 20, 2008): all of Fischer's games, plus four others.

The twelve players and their USCF ratings according to the December 1960 supplement:

1. Bobby Fischer 2641 2. Samuel Reshevsky 2632 3. William Lombardy 2555 4. Robert Byrne 2535 5. Pal Benko 2501 6. Arthur Bisguier 2501 7. Raymond Weinstein 2448 8. Herbert Seidman 2417 9. Anthony Saidy 2412 10. James Sherwin 2411 11. Hans Berliner 2406 and 12. Charles Kalme 2374

Today (April 20, 2008) I uploaded Benko-Bisguier from Round 5 (0-1) and Bisguier-Kalme from Round 9 (1-0). These two games were in the book <The Art of Bisguier>.
