Undoubtedly, Szabo had the most difficult to win because the competition was fierce and the battles trying, Such was the strain that Stahlberg and Tri- funovich at the end could not keep up with the pace and wound up behind four players of the younger gen- Olalsson, Donner, Larsen and Uhlmann. Of these four, Olafsson probably worked the hardest: re- markable were his accuracy and toughness. The young Icelander demonstrated repeatedly that he knows how to convert the smallest advantage into profit. ‘The Hollander Donner played some very fine chess, proving that he has come very close to the grand: master class. ‘The Danish player Larsen did well and yet was not at his best, Several of his games had to be dragged out of the fire, He did so, however, in each case with the competence typical of the true grandmaster. I: is not impossible that both Larsen and Donnex, who tied for the third qualifying place, may he placed in the Interzonal Toumament. The FIDE has received a request to admit four, instead of three, from the Wag- eningen Tournament hecause the participation in the latter was so much stronger than that in the Dublin and the Sofia Zonal Tournaments. Uhlmann showed he hes great talents which will undoubtedly take him into the grandmaster class. [v= NIMZOVICH ATTACK P_QBI are good for Black, atter whieh there may ‘follow Dr. Max Euwe kov was disappointing and left the impression of not heing well prepared. He was often in time trouble, and there appeared to be little zip to his play. He will now have to wait three years for 2 new chance in a classification tournament. Duckstein and Clarke, neither of whom lost any sames in the 1956 Intemational Team Championship in Moscow, played below their par. Only in a single game cach did they show great ability. Clarke won beautifully from Larsen, And Duckstein won from Uhlmann. Of Szabo’s many vietories, we have selected the one against Hacnninen of Finland.

NxN 6 PxN. This main line may become a dangerous tight- rope to walk, So we camnot abandon our survey of the various types of the Gruenfeld without giving the latest findings on the Gruenfeld Proper their appropriate airing. The line continues to be the source of a vigor- ous counter-attack for Black, as will be seen; but refinements for both ides have cropped up in recent tounament practice. Despite the growth in popularity of the King’s Indian Defense, its near-kin, the Gruenfeld siill holds a prominent place in Black’s potential scheme of things to en- cumber White’s heritage of the initiative.
