THE UNITED STATES CHESS FEDERATION INTERNATIONAL RATING LIST: Current Ratings as of June 1, 1967

International grand master active during 1966-7, and some of the more active international masters as listed by the U.S. Chess Federation this summer are given herewith. Numbers are on USCF scale, based on competition with other IGM's and IM's.

Amusing that Fischer ties first with Spassky in this U.S.-compiled table although his results against leading Russians have been patchy. His grading could of course be enhanced by his sweeping successes against not-quite-top opposision
