Chess is more than a game or mental training. It is a distinct attainment. I have always regarded the playing of chess and the accomplishment of a good game as an art, and something to be admired no less than an artist's canvas or the product of a sculptor's chisel.

Petrosian vs Keres First Piatigorsy Cup 1963 both of the games they played ended in a draw, maybe they already decided to play for a draw from the first move as the games ended in no more than 30 moves.
Keres and Petrosian shared first place 8.5/14 with Najdorf 7.5/14 in third.
