The prize funds were among the largest of any chess tournament up to that time. Every player was guaranteed a prize and all traveling and living expenses were paid. The First Piatigorsky Cup was held in the Ambassador Hotel Los Angeles in July 1963. The tournament field of eight included players from five countries. the soviet representatives Paul Keres and World Champion Tigran Petrosian finished equal first to share the cup with a score of 8 1/2/14 receiving more than half of the $10000 prize fund $3000 for first. Keres won most of the games in the tournament six but lost twice to Samuel Reshevsky. The Cup was Petrosian's first tournament since winning the 1963 World Championship match with Mikhail Botvinnik and was one of two first prizes he shared in his six-year reign as champion. He was the first reigning champion to play in an American tournament since Alexander Alekhine at Pasadena 1932. After losing the second round to Svetozar Gligoric Petrosian was never in danger the rest of the tournament. The remainder of the tournament field included to Americans Reshevsky and Pal Benko two Argentinians Oscar Panno and Miguel Najdorf and two Europeans Gligoric Yugoslavia and Frank Olafsson Iceland. U S Champion Bobby Fischer decline an invitation after his demand for $2000 appearance fee was refused by the tournament organizers. Gligoric led halfway through the tournament with 4 1/2/7 but scored only three draws in the last seven games and finished fifth behind Najdorf and Olafsson. Petrosian finished the strongest with 5/7 in the second half. Before the last round Petrosian led with 8 points followed by Keres with 7½ and Najdorf and Ólafsson with 7. Both Petrosian and Keres had Black in the final round. Petrosian drew his game against Reshevsky but Keres beat Gligorić to result in a tie for first place with 8½ points each.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b> Edges sunned inscriptions to front end paper and title else spiral spine cracked else very good.
