Ratmir Kholmov won the 1962 Asztalos Memorial with 11/15. László Szabó and Lajos Portisch shared second on 10½, only half a point behind him.
Half a point separates the first three
Kholmov's 11 secured sole first, but Szabó and Portisch remained within a single draw of him on 10½. Károly Honfi and István Bilek were close behind on 10.
A crowded finish at the top
Five players finished between 10 and 11 points. That narrow spread made the upper standings one of the most compressed tables among these memorial editions.
Every result accounted for
All 120 games of the sixteen-player round-robin are preserved, with eight games attached to each of the fifteen rounds.
