US Open 1956, Oklahoma City
Compiled by Phony Benoni
--*--

<57th US Open
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
July 16-28, 1956>

"Due to a surprise third round defeat by Donald Fischheimer of Chicago, U. S. Champion Arthur B. Bisguier was forced to come from behind in an exciting finish to win the U.S. Open Championship at Oklahoma City with a 9½-2½ score, tied with James T. Sherwin who also tallied 9½-2½ but placed second on Median points. Robert Steinmeyer of St. Louis, who led the field for a time, placed third with 9-3. Tied at 8½-3½ for fourth to eight place were U. S. Junior Champion Bobby Fischer (aged 13) of Brooklyn, Anthony Saidy of Douglaston, N. Y., former U. S. Junior Champion Edmar Mednis of New York City, Stephan Popel of Detroit, and Anthony DiCamillo of Philadelphia.

"Seven players, tied at 8-4 each, placed ninth to fifteenth on Median points: Anthony Santasiere of New York City, Henry Gross of San Francisco, Edgar McCormick of East Orange, Orest Popovych of Lakewood, N. J., I. Theodorovych of Toronto, Paul Brandts of New York City, and Raymond Martin of Santa Monica, Calif.

"The U. S. Women's Open Championship went to Sonya 1.d4 e6 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Qc2 Nc6 5.Nf3 d5 6.a3 Bxc3+ 7.Qxc3 0-0 8.Bg5 Re8 9.e3 Bd7 10.Bd3 Qe7 11.0-0 Rac8 12.Rac1 b6 13.b4 dxc4 14.Bxc4 e5 15.dxe5 Nxe5 16.Nxe5 Qxe5 17.Qxe5 Rxe5 18.Bxf6 gxf6 19.Ba6 c5 20.Bxc8 Bxc8 21.bxc5 bxc5 22.Rc3 Ba6 23.Rd1 Bb5 24.f4 Re4 25.Rxc-Stevenson of Los Angeles, the defending champion, with 6½-5½ score, closely followed by Mrs. Mary Selenskyof Philadelphia with 5½-6½." -- <Chess Life>, August 5, 1956.

Interest in the first round centered in Bobby Fischer (13) vs. A. M. Swank (78)--meeting of the oldest and youngest contestants, won by Bobby. I'm sure that pairing was sheer coincidence, and that Tournament Director Georges Koltanowski had absolutely nothing to do with it. He was probably doing the pairings blindfold anyway.

For the records: One round per day except for Saturday, July 21, which was reserved for the Speed Tourney. Time control 50/2½, followed by 20/1 in succeeding time controls. Hours of play: 7:00 PM-12:00 PM, except round 12 which began at 12:00 Noon. Adjournments played off the next day, except round 12 which was played to a finish.

Site was the Civic Room, Oklahoma Biltmore, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Completely air conditioned.

NOTE: The crosstable published in Chess LIfe, August 20, 1956, page 7 contained a serious error, listing Herbert Avram among the 7-pointers when he scored on 6.0. I have attempted to correct this,w ich means this crosstable will likely differ from other published versions.
