🔷 Chess History - Tournaments
🔹 Zurich 1953
🔹 Switzerland
🔹 August 30 - October 24
🔹 CHAMPION: Vasily Smyslov |18/28 (+9 -1 =18) |
🔰 Zurich 1953 was a chess tournament won by Vasily Smyslov. It was a Candidates Tournament for the 1954 World Chess Championship, which led to the match between Smyslov and Mikhail Botvinnik. The tournament is famous for the strength of the players, the high quality of the games, and books on the tournament by David Bronstein and Miguel Najdorf that are regarded as among the best tournament books ever written. As of 2017, Yuri Averbakh is the only player from this tournament who is still alive, and the oldest living chess grandmaster.
🔰 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.
