1956 US Open

by Bill Wall

From July 16 through July 28, 1956, Bobby Fischer played in the 57th annual U.S. Open in Oklahoma City (102 players from 20 states) at the Biltmore Hotel.  The event was directed by George Koltanowski, assisted by Kenneth Harkness, and organized by Jerry Spann.  Play began at 7 pm.  There was no play on Saturday, July 21, which was reserved for the Speed Tournament.  The final round began at 12 noon.  Time control was 50 moves in 2.5 hours.  Entry fee was $15.

Fischer won 5 games, drawing 7 games, losing none, (8.5-3.5), and tied for 4th-8th place (won by Arthur Bisguier on tiebreaks over Jimmy Sherwin). Fischer set some kind of record by going undefeated through all 12 rounds of a USCF Open at the age of 13 (Chess Review, September, 1956, page 260).  His USCF rating was 2375 after this event, #25 in the nation. His game with Dr. Peter Lapiken was the first to appear in a chess magazine. It appeared in the August 5, 1956 issue of Chess Life and the September issue of Chess Review. During this event, he was interviewed on television for the first time.   He appeared twice on local television and was profiled by the Oklahoman magazine.  A picture of Fischer posing for the cameraman of the Oklahoman appeared in the August 20, 1956 issue of Chess Life, page 7.  At 13, he was the youngest player at the U.S. Open.

In the US Open, he defeated A. M. Swank (1687) in the first round (the oldest player at 78 vs. the youngest player at 13), drew with Henry Gross (2181), drew with Fred Tears (2123), beat Dr. Peter Lapiken (2209), drew Brian Owens (2222), drew Anthony Santasiere (2333), drew Ken Smith (2216), drew Wilmer E. Stevens (1872), beat Dale Ruth (1971), beat Dr. Orest Popovych (2176), drew Dr. Stephen Popel (2328), and beat Jerry Donovan (2180).
