Lone Pine 1980
Compiled by Phony Benoni

10th Louis D. Statham Tournament
Lone Pine, California
March 16-26, 1980

By now, even an IM title was not sufficient to gain entry into Lone Pine. The 1980 edition was restricted to grandmasters, adults with a rating over 2450, and Juniors over 2350. This shrunk the field to forty-three players with an average rating of 2487, over half of whom were grandmasters. There might be chances for the lesser players to pick up a norm here or there, but they couldn't be expected to have much of an impact on the outcome.

Only six players could win their first two games: GMs Efim Geller, Miguel Quinteros, and Bozidar Ivanovic, IM Jon Arnason, and untitled players Jay Whitehead and Michael Wilder. After round three only Geller and Whitehead remained perfect, with Bent Larsen and another untitled player in Douglas Root joining Quinteros and Arnason on 2.5.

What was happening to the other big guns? Yuri Balashov was a full point behind after a couple of draws, while Lev Alburt and Florin Gheorghiu had suffered round two losses. Even worse off at 1.5 were guys like Anthony Miles, Samuel Reshevsky, and Walter Browne, while Svetozar Gligoric, Roman Dzindzichashvili, and Larry Christiansen were already two points off the pace.

Of course, this couldn't last: the Swiss System has a way of deflating unexpected leaders. Whitehead managed to keep up by drawing Geller in round 4, but then lost three in a row and dropped out of contention. Geller took the lead going into the weekend break with 4.5/5, with Larsen and Gheorghiu at 4.0 and Whitehead, Wilder, Balashov, Fedorowicz, John Peters and Eugenio Torre on 3.5.

However, Geller would not win a single game the rest of the way. Larsen caught him in round 6, and their draw in round 7 left them just a half-point ahead of Balashov and a couple of late chargers in Alburt and Dzindzichashvili. Geller drew with Balashov in round 8, and was joined at the top by Alburt and Dzindzichashvili as the latter defeated Larsen.

So going into the last round it was Dzindzichashvili, Geller and Alburt with 6.0, with Balashov, Larsen and Miles on 5.5. The final pairings came out Alburt vs. Dzindzichashvili, Miles vs. Geller, and Balashov vs. Larsen.

Miles wiped out Geller relatively quickly, leaving Alburt and Dzindzichashvili fighting for first place. Alburt missed a winning line right at the time control, and it was the Guy with the Really Long Name winning his sixth game in a row to hit the jackpot.

A sidelight was Browne's withdrawal was due to a bitter argument with TD Kashdan during round 5. It was made clear that he would not be welcomed back to future Statham tournaments, thus ending his streak of being the only player to participate in all the Lone Pine events.

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, Dzindzichashvili's first three results are draw with Black vs. #43, loss with White vs. #23, draw with Black vs. #40.
