Brilliancy Prize Goes to Bobby Fischer For Game Won From James T. Sherwin
Lombardy Takes Prize
The American Chess Foundation, which sponsored the recent Lessing J. Rosenwald tournament for the championship of the United States, yesterday awarded the first prize for brilliancy to Lombardy.
The award, announced by Maurice J. Kasper, treasurer of the foundation, was made in recognition of his conduct of the game the junior champion of the world won from Samuel Reshevsky in the final round of the tournament. This defeat of the international grand master brought about the victory in the championship of Bobby Fischer of Brooklyn.
The second brilliancy prize went to Fischer for the game he won from James T. Sherwin and third prize to Herbert Seidman for the game he took from Bisguier.
