US Open 1955, Long Beach
Compiled by Phony Benoni

<56th US Open
Long Beach, California
August 8-19, 1955>

The Butterfly Effect is the idea that seemingly inconsequential acts, such as a butterfly flapping its wings, can have wide-ranging, catastrophic consequences. Samuel Reshevsky may never have heard of the term, but he knew exactly what it meant.

It's round 7 of the 1955 US Open in Long Beach, California, and James Bolton is playing Ronald Gross. Bolton won the game, then was informed by a spectator that, while he was away from the board, Gross had made a move, taken it back, and substituted another one.

Bolton was enraged. He went to the tournament directors and demanded that he be awarded a win on forfeit, even though he had won over the board.

This would never happen today. Bolton would be too concerned about the rating points. But that wasn't such a big consideration back in 1955, and the directors eventually decided to let him have his way. Eccentric, perhaps, but after all how could it possibly matter?

With that settled, we can flash ahead to the end of the tournament with Reshevsky and Nicolas Rossolimo tied for first place. In such situations, cash prizes are generally split equally. However, if there is an indivisible prize such as a trophy, tie-breaking systems are used.

And this tournament had a particularly interesting indivisible prize.

One prize, indivisible

Tiebreak systems are based on the principle that tied players should be ranked by the strength of the opposition. This is measured by adding up the adjusted scores of their opponents.

Note the word <adjusted>. If a player does not play a game for some reason, this means their actual "strength" is misrepresented, unfairly impacting the tiebreak score. Adjustments are made by adding 1/2-point for every unplayed game or forfeit loss, and subtracting 1/2-point for byes or wins on forfeit.

Wait a minute.

Wins on forfeit lower an adjusted score?!

For those of you who haven't already guessed what is coming and looked at the crosstable below, Bolton played Reshevsky in round 2. Counting the game with Gross as a forfeit win lowered Bolton's adjusted score by 1/2-point, which lowered Reshevsky's tiebreak score by 1/2-point, which gave Rossolimo the car.

There is no such thing as a free butterfly.

OK, important note. The above is the usual version of the story, and is correct up to a point. However <Kenneth Harkness>, the Doyen of Everything Involved in USCF Tiebreaking at the time, prepared a short report for the September 20, 1955 <Chess Life> proving that Bolton's action did not cost Reshevsky the car. Had the game been scored as a regular win, the first two tiebreak systems would have wound up tied but Rossolimo would still have prevailed by one-quarter point on the third.

Too bad. Spoils a great story.

Of course, a few other things happened in the course of that two weeks, with over forty masters and experts among the 156 players, representing 25 states, the District of Columbia, Canada, and Mexico. And how could you beat a tournament with free coffee and directed by the anagrammatic Orlo M. Rolo?

1953 champion Donald Byrne led much of the way, but a round 11 loss to Larry Evans permitted the eventual co-winners to leap ahead of him.

Additional Games

The game R Cross vs Lombardy, 1955 (won by Lombardy) was published in "Chess Life", November 5, 1955, p. 7, with notes by Lombardy, and attributed to the US Open. However, this cannot be correct. Lombardy vs R Cross, 1955 (won by Cross) is given by Spence in his tournament book, and the fact that Cross did win the game is confirmed by crosstables in Spence, "Chess Life", and the New York Times report of August 17, 1955. I have removed the misattributed game from this collection.

The following games will not be submitted until their irregularies have been resolved.

Henry Gross - Charles Wallace C84 410
56th US Open Long Beach, CA (4), 11.08.1955

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.d4 exd4 7.e5 Ne4 8.Nxd4 0-0 9.Nf5 d5 10.Nxe7+ Nxe7 11.c4 11.c3; 11.b4 11...Be6 12.Bc2 Nc6 13.f4 f5 14.cxd5 Qxd5 15.Qxd5 Bxd5 16.Nc3 Nxc3 17.bxc3 Na5 18.Ba3 Rf7 19.Rfd1 Bc6 20.Bc5 g6 21.a4 Rd7 22.Rd4 Kf7 23.Bb4 Nc4 The tournament book gives 23...♘xb, which is clearly imposible, so there has been a mistake at some point. The continuation given here follows the book, but is clearly very unlikely to have been played. 24.a5 Rad8 25.Kf2 Ke6 26.Bc5 0-1

Nicolas Rossolimo - James T Sherwin,J A64 1025 56th US Open Long Beach, CA USA (10), 17.08.1955

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 4.Nc3 exd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.g3 g6 7.Bg2 Bg7 8.Nf3 0-0 9.0-0 a6 10.a4 Nbd7 11.Nd2 Re8 12.e4 Rb8 13.a5 b5 14.axb6 Nxb6 15.Re1 Ng4 16.Nf3 Ne5 Score sheets illegible after this point. White won in 44 moves -- Tournament book, p. 56. 1-0 (Game not submitted due to incompleteness)
