  • First prize was $3500.

  • Benko missed his first US Championship since coming to the United States, due to being on an extended lecture tour in Brazil.

  • John Fedorowicz was seeded into the tournament by virtue of winning the US Junior Championship the previous year. The last US Junior Champion to be seeded into the US Championship had been Robin Ault, who scored 0-11 in the 1959/60 Championship.

  • Larry Evans and William Lombardy boycotted this tournament when the $700 Grandmaster fee from recent events was not offered. It and the $500 champion's fee were rolled into the general prize fund. (CL&R, 1/78, p. 10).
