  • Coverage in the February 5, 1960 issue of Chess Life.

  • Robin Ault is the only player to have lost all his games in a US Championship tournament, before the knockout tournaments of 1990 and 1991. Like Weinstein the year before, Ault was invited based on his winning the US Junior Championship. As a result of this tournament, the US Junior Champion wasn't invited to the championship again until the late 1970's.

  • Pairings for this tournament were drawn in private. Fischer initially dropped out, refusing to play unless the pairings were re-drawn in public. Anthony Saidy was chosen as his replacement, but Fischer relented and agreed to play when promised that future pairings would be drawn in public. Details of this dispute can be found in The New York Times, December 16 and December 19, 1959.

  • Tickets for this event cost $2. About 200 spectators attended the final round, making the final gate more than the Gross National Product of several banana republics.

  • First Prize for this tournament was $1,000. The 12th place prize was $50, still larger than the GNP of at least a couple of banana republics.

  • Larry Evans and William Lombardy both declined invitations to this event.

  • This marked the first time in 9 tries that Reshevsky finished lower than 2nd in a US Championship.
