Who were the ideologues of the 1962 Curaçao conspiracy?. "The Godfather" in chess (without dead).

The article that Bobby Fischer wrote (How Soviet Union controls chess) later seems very correct to me. I believe everything from beginning to end.

I read that the average number of plays between the Soviets was 19.

I think there was a game of 14 moves.

The Soviets knew that the weather was tropical. And it was better to reserve strength. They knew that Fischer could win the tournament.

I want to remember that before, in the Interzonal of Stockholm of that same year, Fischer won it.

Petrosian and Geller offered advice to Benko in his confrontation with Keres. Benko refused the help. This, perhaps, is more flagrant than the attempt to ally to harm Fischer.

It is said that Rona, Petrosian's wife, had requested the advice of grandmasters to help Benko beat Keres.

I guess Soviet sports leaders were aware of the conspiracy, because I can hardly believe that 2 or 3 players agree to these things without high-level supervision.

Mikhail Tahl was forced to leave at the beginning of the last lap due to severe kidney discomfort suffered throughout the tournament.

Sometimes I wonder if Fischer had won, if it were not for the conspiracy.

I do not know if Viktor Korchnoi was little, or not involved in the matter.

I leave a link with the results of the tournament.

I admit that I have not analyzed the games yet.

It would be very interesting, for those of us who do not know the history in depth, to know how this alliance was originated and by whom.

I read the article... It is not really serious one. There were several studys about soviet GMs "playing together", but none of them could really proof it. Spassky and even Petrosian but that time won Fisher several time (Petrosian had 3 years without a single loss), and fisher wasn't taken seriously. The Karpov was rising, and it was clear, that Spassky would lose to him one day. So I don't think anyone was concerned that time about Bobby Fisher, who even left chess for several years because of his loss.

These words that I am going to write don´t remember them exactly and I can make a mistake. I don´t remember where I read it. It is clear that not everything that is published on the Internet is true.
On the 50th anniversary of that tournament Iouri Averbach recognized that there was pact among the soviets.

Iouri Overbakh didn't play there... he never was a particularly strong GM, and yes, i really want to read that article, where he sad that.

It was on the 40th anniversary, sorry.
I read so many articles on Internet about chess, that when I want to remember where it was, it is difficult to find it again. :)
Not only was it a conspiracy, it was so shameless. What is so strange or false in Fischer's article?.

@ChicagoDragon There are no real proofs about. The article is built on the idea, that Fisher is the best, and soviets played against him together. And yes, how can you help Benko to beat Keres, if you are not allowed to talk him during the game? In the match preparation? Thats normal... Karjakin also prepared himself against Carlsens playing style. And as you can see from the table, Fisher lost 6 games... Petrosian none. That's says already enought about who was really better (one of the games Fisher lost to Petrosian). At that time Fisher was too young, that's why he couldn't win the tournament. And why didn't soviets do the same thing 3 years later? Why did they let him win? And yes, about Tal. He was allready ill during the tournament, and quitted with chess couple years later.

There is consensus that the Soviets colluded against Fischer. Here is a German link

The FIDE also acknowledged this, and changed the candidates' tournament to candidates' matches the next cycle.

Guys, consultants' ratings does not add to each other. 2600 and 2600 consulting cant beat 2800.

At that time Elo rating did not yet exist. Fischer was not as strong as he became in 1970-1972. We could say that Fischer then was about as strong as the Soviet grandmasters and we can only speculate if he would have won if they had not colluded against him. The main problem was not so much that they consulted about a game in progress. The main problem was that they agreed on quick draws against each other and put their full effort in their games against Fischer.

Lets not forget that these Soviet GMs were often forced to do so, otherwise they would not be allowed to play in tourns in other countries. Even Korchnoi once was 'forced' to do it. This was simply part of the cold war.
