Milwaukee
In the last two years Milwaukee has produced the largest and strongest Open tournaments in the country, with only the U.S. Open being a possible exception. The North Central Open, held each November, began three years ago, and the Western Open a year later. In last year's Western Open 122 players competed, and the North Central attracted 93. The strength of these tournaments is shown by the fact that Bobby Fischer failed to finish higher than sixth in either, the same year that he swept America's triple crown, the U.S. Junior, the U.S. Open, and the U.S.C.F. championship events.
