Coverage in the December 20, 1958, January 5, 1959 and January 20, 1959 issues of Chess Life.
In this tournament, Lombary was World Junior Champion, Kalme was US
Intercollegiate Champion, Weinstein was US Junior Champion, and Fischer
was defending US Champion. In addition, Reshevsky was still considered
"Champion of the Western Hemisphere" on the basis of two matches he won
against Najdorf in the early 1950's. This title was quietly forgotten
after Fischer became a credible title threat. But Fischer was not rated
higher than Reshevsky in a US Championship until next year's event.
Benko was Unrated due to his recent arrival in the US from Hungary. No
previous rating has been found for Weinstein.
According to Chess Life, the Round 10 game between Robert Byrne and Ray Weinstein
was ordered "re-played", but no details are given about this.
Rounds 1-5 and 9-11 were played at the Manhattan Chess Club. Rounds 6-9 were played at the Marshall Chess Club.
About 100 spectators attended the first round. The Chief referee was IM Hans Kmoch.
