The West Starts Winning
The Russians are not invincible. There has been an appreciable change, during the last few years, in the prospects of Western players. First there was Bobby Fischer's spectacular triumph in the FIDE Interzonal at Stockholm. Argentine's Miguel Najdorf followed up by winning at Havana, ahead of Spassky, Polugaevsky and Smyslov. Now we have Dutch grandmaster J. Henk Donner taking top honors in the Silver Jubilee at Beverwijk, Holland, ahead of Bronstein and Auerbakh. Plenty of room for justified optimism in the future. Dutch players also did very well in the subsidiary events. The Ladies event was won by the new world champion, Nona Gaprindasvili, 9-0!, followed by Jovanovic, Yugoslavia, 7½-1½; Nicolau, Rumania, 6½-2½, etc.
Dr. Peter Trifunovic, tired after his American tour, which included two small tourneys, did not win a game. He lost one and drew 16!
