Cumulative Score
Chess Review, October 1953 (p.290):
Among these 15, two were seeded to play as original participants in the first tournament for the World Championship in 1948 (when Botvinnik won the title): Dr. Max Euwe, former World Champion, from Holland; and Samuel Reshevsky of the United States.David Bronstein and Isaac Boleslavsky of the Soviet Union were seeded as co-winners of the last Challenger's Tournament, Budapest, 1950.
Argentina's grandmaster Miguel Najdorf qualified by virtue of being fifth prize-winner in the previous Challenger's Tournament. Vassily Smyslov and Paul Keres of Soviet Russia were also in the first World Championship but actually qualified as third and fourth at Budapest.
The other contenders qualified last year at Saltsjobaden, when five Russians led the field: Alexander Kotov, Tigran Petrosian, Mark Taimanov, Yefim Geller, and Yuri Averbach. To these have been added as tying Averbach's score though lower in S.-B. points: Svetozar Gligoric of Yugoslavia, Gideon Stahlberg of Sweden, and Laszlo Szabo of Hungary.
The first eight rounds of the present tournament were played at Neuhausen, near the famous Rheinfall. The rest of the schedule is being run off in the Kongresshaus at Zurich.
