(Lusis: 1527) First edition. The U.S. Open Championship is an open national chess championship that has been held in the United States annually since 1900. Through 1938, the tournaments were organized by the Western Chess Association and its successor, the American Chess Federation (1934 1938). The United States Chess Federation (USCF) has run the tournament since 1939. The seventieth edition of this tournament attracted 197 participants and was held in Lincoln, Nebraska August 10th through the 23rd. The tournament was hard fought and the first time the Open brought up the problem of a three way tie for first place. Pal Benk, Arthur Bisguier and Milan Vukcevic each had a score of 9.5/12. Benko was the first of equals as he had defeated two of his chief rivals, Vukcevic and Byrne and was awarded the first place trophy. The three winner evenly divided $2800 of the first three prizes. There was also a tie for third place with Robert Byrne, William Martz and Robert Gauntt. The tournament book lists all the players as well as the ranking cross-table of all the players. In addition there are photographs and game scores of the critical games. Condition: Light edge wear with some sunning to edges else a very good copy.…
