Jan Hein Donner, Svetozar Gligorić, Arturo Pomar, and Lajos Portisch shared first at the 1960 Madrid Zonal with 10½/15. The complete 120-game record preserves four equal scores reached through markedly different results.
A zonal in the 1960–63 cycle
Sixteen players met once each over 15 rounds, producing 120 official played games. The Madrid event formed part of the qualifying path for the 1962 Stockholm Interzonal.
Every pairing is present once. The direct crosstable and the World Championship cycle record agree on the four-way tie at the top.
Four routes to 10½
Gligorić and Pomar each scored eight wins, five draws, and two losses. Donner made seven wins, seven draws, and one loss, while Portisch went unbeaten with six wins and nine draws.
All four are historical co-winners. Because a wins-based ordering would separate equal point totals, the event outcome metadata explicitly preserves the shared first place.
The games
There were 79 decisive games and 41 draws. The totals give the four-way tie on 10½ and all 16 final scores.
