| FRG-ch International (1973) |
|
The 2nd International German Chess Individual Championship was held in Dortmund, West Germany from May 13th to June 2nd, 1973. Four grandmasters, Ulf Andersson, Paul Keres, Bruno Parma, and former world champion Boris Spassky were invited to compete with eight international masters and four untitled German participants. The average of the combined ELO ratings of the participants qualified the tournament as a category VII event. It was Spassky's first major event since losing the world championship to Bobby Fischer. American journalists were present during the event to cable all the details back to Fischer in New York. Games were played at Westphalia Park starting on the 17th of May. Because of Spassky's participation, the tournament drew 4,500 spectators. He gave them a good show, too, with five stellar wins, though he failed to finish first. Spassky scored 9.5 to match Andersson and Berlin IM Hans Joachim Hecht at the final, though due to tiebreaks Hecht was declared the winner based on his superior Sonnenborn-Berger score. Hecht was especially impressive as he scored the only full point off the former world champion. Due in part to his performance here, Hecht would earn his GM title later in the year. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Pts.
