Instead of being spread over the " " year or a season, these round-robin events are run off complete during a concentrated two-week session. This season, in Moscow, the ten-man teams were very strong, certainly so at first hoards: viz. one World Cham­ pion (Petrosyan) , three fonner World Champions (Botvinnik, Smyslov and Tahl) and two not of that category, indeed, but quite possibly to be so (Geller and Stein). At each match, the teams were complete, and so the results among the six first board players amounted to a round robin in itself, and a very remarkable one (see table, right ) . The result refutes rather con vincingly the rumors that Botvinnik's chess career has come to an end. It may be said that Petrosyan did rather poorly, and Smyslov disappointingly. 32 B_B1 R-KN1 36 R-R7t K_N5 Still, in so strong a field, judgments must be lenient when adverse, and 33 N- N5t KxP 37 K_B2 N-K2 34 BxP K_ R4 38 N-K 6 N_B4 generous toward the victor!
