Starting next week, the eyes of the chess world will be focused on the island of Curacao in the Dutch West Indies, where the long and grueling challengers' tournament will get under way. This tournament will determine the individual who will face Mikhail Botvinnik for the world's championship next year.
Though five of the Soviet Union's brightest stars are entered, many observers expect America's Bobby Fischer to emerge the victor. He led the field in the recent interzonal tourney at Stockholm and seems to be playing the best chess of his life, at the age of 19. Pal Benko, one time Hungarian champion is the other United States entry.
