72 pages with photographs, facsimile, diagrams and tables. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 3/4") bound in original pictorial wrappers. First edition. The 1961 International Zurich Chess Tournament was a strong field with Paul Keres (+7 =4 -0), not loosing a game, edging out Tigran Petrosian by a half point and their game being decisive; if he had drawn the scores would have been reversed. Svetozar Gligoric two points behind the leader was clear third. William Lombardy and Lothar Schmid shared fourth and fifth a half point behind. Sixth and seventh was Bent Larsen and Milan Matulovic again a half point behind. In descending order was Dieter Keller eight, Josef Kupper ninth, Walther tenth, E Bhend eleventh and M Christoffel twelfth.
This item originates from the chess book collection of Zahari Stanchev, (April 27, 1920 - January 27, 1980) from Sofia, Bulgaria. Stanchev was Bulgaria's representative to FIDE in the 1960s, a writer of chess books, and an international arbiter.
