This event was played in Neuhausen am Rheinfall and Zürich. 1 These are the games in order according to David Bronstein's excellent book, Zurich International Chess Tournament 1953. He participated in the tournament with the strongest players in the world at that time in a candidates match to determine the next challenger to world champion Mikhail Botvinnik.
The Swiss Chess Federation spent 100,000 Swiss francs in order to stage the event, which was one of the reasons they insisted that host countries pay the travel expenses for their respective players. Prize money for first place was 5,000 Swiss francs. Alois Nagler was tournament director. 1 All contestants brought a second except for Bronstein and Reshevsky: Miroljub Trifunovic (Gligoric), Salomon Flohr (Taimanov), Julio Bolbochan (Najdorf), Andre Lilienthal (Petrosian), Mikhail Beilin (Averbakh), Carel Benjamin van den Berg (Euwe), Kristian Skold (Stahlberg), Tibor Florian (Szabó), Alexey Sokolsky (Boleslavsky), Viktor Moiseev (Kotov), Igor Bondarevsky (Geller), Vladimir Simagin (Smyslov), and Alexander Kazimirovich Tolush (Keres).

So many good chess channels on YT, but this my fave. Grand Master games need a skilled commentator to explain complex strategies and this is where agadmator shines. Learned a lot form here.

The move a4 isn't perhaps the strongest, but completely playable. But it's 21. h3 sets Najdorf back. Better to gard against Ng4 by playing Nd2. Gives increased mobility and good protection without wreaking the king's position. Reshevsky played well and generally had the upper hand versus Najdorf. He won almost twice as many games as he lost to Najdorf if memory serves.

Bronstein was the annotator of the book on this tournament. It was his responsibility to critique each game that was played in it. But as Spassky said it was a warm and sympathetic book for the winners and the losers.

Bizarre that black about to win a pawn with all his pieces nicely placed and white's in disarray would offer a draw. Must have been severe time trouble, as you said.

@allthatjazz-7 2 жыл бұрын

I think instead of White's h3, you could have analysed Bc5 threat of Bd6. Many moves you overlook, and the explanations are not in depth enough to really show the grandmasters minds. With Russians often agreeing draws and promoting their favourite player, this from a western perspective, looks like a prepared draw too, when Reshevsky is perhaps better. But done to give both players the chance of fighting the Soviets. Keres and Bronstein both proved Soviet fixing. Keres was not allowed to best Botvinnik in certain tournaments for example. It's well known history.
