Lone Pine 1977
Compiled by Phony Benoni

7th Louis D. Statham Tournament
Lone Pine, California
March 20-30, 1977

The tournament was lengthened to nine rounds, ensuring FIDE ratability and possible title norms. Eligibility requirements reverted to the 1975 standards: GM or IM title, adults with rating of at least 2350, juniors with rating of at least 2250. Forty-eight players with an average rating of 2410 participated. They produced an exciting tournament, full of twists and turns with numerous lead changes.

No perfect scores remained after three rounds. The fourth round saw Yuri Balashov, William Lombardy, and John Peters sharing the lead with 3.5, while only Oscar Panno and Peter Biyiasas had three points. Cautious play among the three leaders left them tied at 4.0/5 with Biyiasas going into the two-day break, with Panno, Nona Gaprindashvili, Pal Benko, and Jaime Sunye Neto lurking a half-point behind.

Round 6 saw Balashov defeat Biyiasas and Peters overcome Lombardy, with Panno and Benko just a half-point down. As Balashov and Peters had already played, they were paired into the next score group for round 7. Panno pulled off a win over the Soviet GM to tie for the lead with Peters, who drew with Benko. The pursuit pack on five points consisted of Balashov, Benko, and a relative unknown in Yugoslavian IM Dragutin Sahovic, who had been creeping back into contention after a first round loss. At 4.5, and still in the hunt, were Gaprindashvili, Lombardy, Walter Browne, Kenneth Regan, Samuel Reshevsky, and Biyiasas.

Panno took a draw with Benko in round 8, and was joined on 6.0 points by Sahovic, who knocked off Peters. The group on 5.5 included Balashov, Gaprindashvili, Peters, and Benko.

For the decisive round, Panno and Sahovic decided not to press their luck. Balashov and Gaprindashvili emerged from the fray with wins to make it a four-way tie at the top, making this the first Statham tournament with co-champions.

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, Balashov's first three results are win with Black vs. #12, draw with White vs. #07, win with Black vs. #16.
