Tournament Review

Gligoric did well to recover from the disasters of the early rounds which would have demoralized most players. It must be sad for him to realize that had he won those two lost games, as he undoubtedly should have done, he might have had the honour of a tie with the World Champion, although Botvinnik might well have made a big effort to beat Flohr in the final round and one cannot say how Gligoric might have fared if he had been forced to play for a win against Penrose with the black pieces.
