A1960
1960, Lawrenceville School, Lawrenceville, Mercer County, New Jersey
One of the highlights of this year's action was the club tournament during the winter term. Prizes for the winners were two inlaid wooden chess sets. On the inter-school schedule were Princeton High School and Peddie. The club was fortunate in being able to hear Mr. Arthur Bisguier speak. Mr. Bisguier is one of the leading chess players in the United States.

U.S. Chess Meet--Quiet, Please
Country's Leading Players Concentrate in Silence in Open Tournament Here
Arthur Bisguier of New York City, who won the Open in 1950 when he was only 20, again in 1956 and again last year at Omaha, is back to see whether he can make it two straight, a feat not achieved in the Open since Larry Evans of New York did it in 1951 and '52.
Bisguier is seeded fourth in the field of 174, behind Pal Benko, once of Hungary, who has been playing in this country for the last five years, Evans and Robert Byrne, always a strong contender, whose brother Donald copped the Open in 1953.
