Lone Pine 1978
Compiled by Phony Benoni
--*--

8th Louis D Statham Tournament
Lone Pine, California
April 2-12, 1978

The rating requirements were the same as 1977, but the field swelled to a record 68 players with an average rating of 2431. It was led by world-class Grandmasters Tigran Petrosian, Bent Larsen, Lev Polugaevsky, and Lajos Portisch, with countries such as England, Iceland, and the Netherlands sending what seemed like teams of players.

For whatever reason, the Lone Pine winner often dropped a game early. This year, it was Bent Larsen who lost his first round game before running off five wins in a row to draw within a half-point of Lev Polugaevsky. They drew in round 7, then Larsen closed with two wins to take the tournament by a half-point.

This version of the crosstable allows colors in each game to be determined. If the result (W, L, D) comes first, the player had White. If the result follows the opponent's number, the player had Black. For example, Larsen's first three results are loss with Black vs. #33, win with White vs. #66, win with Black vs. #35.

The game Janosevic vs. Arnason in round 1 was a forfeit win for Janosevic.

Whitehead vs. Youngworth in round 4 was a make-up game. Ervin's withdrawal left an odd number of players, so Whitehead received a bye in round 4. In the same round, Balshan was unable to play and Youngworth was awarded a win on forfeit. Youngworth offered to replay the game with Balshan, but when the latter did not continue he and Whitehead played instead.
