Bobby Fischer vs Borislav Ivkov, 2nd Piatigorsky Cup in 1966, with Miguel Najdorf, Lajos Portisch, Bent Larsen and Wolfgang Unzicker. The second and final tournament in the series was held July to August 1966 at the Mirimar Hotel, Santa Monica. The field was increased from eight players to ten and the prize fund was doubled to $20,000 (first prize: $5000, second: $3000, third: $2500, fourth: $2000, fifth: $1750, sixth: $1500, seventh: $1300, eighth: $1150, ninth: $1050, tenth: $1000). Interest in the tournament was unusually high for a chess event in the United States, with over 500 spectators attending most sessions. The 17th round game between tournament leaders Spassky and Fischer drew over 900 spectators, with many turned away. Positions of the games in progress were displayed to the crowds using a novel projection system devised by Jacqueline Piatigorsky rather than the usual wall boards. (1. Spassky 11.5/18 - 2. Fischer 11)
