67th US Open
Seattle, Washington
August 14-26, 1966

After the 1965 US Open was held further south and east than ever before, the 1966 edition went the other way. Seattle, Washington, represented the furthest north the tournament had ever ventured, and only the two events in San Francisco were a few degrees of longitude to the left.

The tournament was held at the Seattle Center, site of the 1962 World's Fair. Thirteen rounds were scheduled, on per day from Sunday, August 14 through Friday, August 26, with no off day. However, some fine print stated that, should the total number of entries not exceed 200, the round on Saturday, August 20 would not be played and replaced by a speed tournament, making twelve rounds in all. As it happened, only 196 players showed up for the first round, but late entries pushed the number to 201 and the full schedule was played.

All games were scheduled for 7:00 pm, except the final round which began at 5:00 pm. The time control was 50 moves in 2½ hours, followed by 20 moves per hour. Games were adjourned after five hours of play and resumed at 10:00 AM the next morning. The tournament director was George Koltanowski, assised by Burrard Eddy and Eugene Fomin. (1)

NOTES

(1) "Chess Life", April 1966, p. 63

(2) "Chess Life", October, 1966, p. 230-231, and Northwest Chess Letter", September 1966, p. 9-17, The version in "Chess Life" gives all the players, but full results for only the top 81 finishers. The version in "Northwest Chess Letter" is complete, but contains numerous errors including listing several players out of their correct score group. I have followed the order of finish from "Chess Life", and tried to reconcile discrepancies.
