U.S. To Enter World Student Tourney
The U.S. Chess Federation definitely intends to enter a team in the World Student Team Championship, which will take place at Crakow, Poland from July 18 to Aug. 2.
Good news is that U.S. champion Bobby Fischer has agreed to play, and he will of course be first board for the American team. Others on the team are U.S. Open titleholder William Lombardy, who will be team captain, and Raymond Weinstein.
The fourth regular position may be filled by Dr. Anthony Saidy. Two reserves must be picked as well from a number of eligible students.
This promises to be the strongest team ever to represent the U.S. in the student event. Our prospects for victory would be excellent, despite the formidable competition to be expected.
The winner last year was Czechoslovakia. Yugoslavia was second, the favored team from the Soviet Union tied for third with Bulgaria and the U.S. was fifth in the 19-nation tournament.
Lombardy was captain and top board of last year's team Other members were Raymond Weinstein and Bernard Zuckerman of New York, Mitchell Sweig of Chicago and Walt Cunningham of Arcadia.
The U.S. was victorious In 1960 when our team was Lombardy, Weinstein. Charles Kalme, Saidy, Edmar Mednis and Robert Cross.
