Louis D. Statham Tournament
Lone Pine, California
March 7-13, 1996

For this sixth Statham Tournament the rating requirements were slightly loosened with the lower limit for adult Masters being dropped to 2300. A total 57 players participated, with an average rating of 2371.

The seven-round format made a return. Technically, this meant this was not a FIDE-ratable tournament, but the results were submitted anyway and the tournament rated after all. In the future, the Statham tournaments would always be nine-rounders, capable of generating FIDE title norms and ratings.

Another strong contingent of foreign grandmasters participated, led by former World Champions Tigran Petrosian and Vasily Smyslov. Oscar Panno. Miguel Quinteros, and Miguel Najdorf came from Argentina, Anthony Miles from Great Britain, and Gyozo Forintos from Hungary. The American squad featured veteran players like Walter Browne, Arthur Bisguier, and Pal Benko, but none of them would have a major impact.

In fact, Benko (two draws) and Browne (draw and loss) started poorly. By round 3, the only perfect score belonged to Leonid Shamkovich, followed at 2.5 by Petrosian, Larry Christiansen, Smyslov, Panno, Najdorf, Miles, Norman Weinstein, Bisguier, William Martz, and the veteran Arnold Denker.

Shamkovich suffered the common fate among early leaders in a Swiss System tournament: tough pairings. A draw in round 4 allowed Petrosian and Martz to catch him, then two losses knocked him out of contention. After five rounds, it was a five-way tie for first between Petrosian, Martz, Smyslov, Quinteros and John Grefe. Tigran then took the sole lead by beating Martz while the other leaders drew, and kept it with a short draw in the last round when nobody was able to catch him.

Petrosian's score of 5.5-1.5 was the lowest winning total for a seven-round Statham event, and was achieved in his usual style. With White, he scored 3-0; with Black, one win and three draws that totalled 35 moves.

This version of the crosstable allows a player's color in a 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, Petrosian's first three results are win with Black vs. #32, win with White vs. #19, draw with Black vs. #12.
