Hastings 1960/61 The 36th Hastings Congress featured these players: Leonard William Barden; Igor Bondarevsky; Bernard Cafferty; Peter Hugh Clarke; Svetozar Gligoric; Arnold Yorvath Green; John Eric Littlewood; Kenneth W Lloyd; Bogdan Sliwa; Laszlo Szabo. The turning point came in round five. The three GMs (Gligoric, Bondarevsky and Szabo) were tied for first with 3 points, while IM Sliwa was just behind with 2.5. The round saw Bondarevsky drawn by tail-ender Cafferty and Szabo suffer defeat at the hands of Clarke, while Gligoric started a little three-game winning streak at the expense of Sliwa. Soon Gligoric had a full point lead, which he maintained until the end. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 Pts 1 Gligoric X = = = = 1 1 1 1 1 7.0 2 Bondarevsky = X = 1 = = 1 1 = = 6.0 3 Szabo = = X 0 0 = 1 1 1 = 5.0 4 Lloyd = 0 1 X = = = = 1 = 5.0 5 Clarke = = 1 = X = 0 = = = 4.5 6 Littlewood 0 = = = = X = 0 1 1 4.5 7 Barden 0 0 0 = 1 = X 1 = 1 4.5 8 Sliwa 0 0 0 = = 1 0 X 1 1 4.0 9 Green 0 = 0 0 = 0 = 0 X 1 2.5 10 Cafferty 0 = = = = 0 0 0 0 X 2.0 Progressive scores: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 Gligoric 0.5 1.5 2.5 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 6.5 7.0 2 Bondarevsky 0.5 1.0 2.0 3.0 3.5 4.0 5.0 5.5 6.0 3 Szabo 1.0 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.0 3.5 4.5 5.0 5.0 4 Lloyd 0.5 1.0 1.0 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 5.0 5 Clarke 0.5 1.0 1.0 1.5 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 6 Littlewood 0.5 1.5 2.0 2.0 3.0 3.5 3.5 4.0 4.5 7 Barden 0.5 0.5 1.5 1.5 2.0 3.0 3.0 4.0 4.5 8 Sliwa 0.0 0.5 1.5 2.5 2.5 3.0 3.0 3.0 4.0 9 Green 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 10 Cafferty 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.0 Hastings (1959/60) and Hastings (1961/62) were the 35th and 37th Christmas festivals.
