The top encounter of round 10 turned out to be rather one-sided. Svetozar Gligoric had been closely trailing Fischer throughout the entire tournament, but in their direct encounter Gligoric was convincingly outplayed by the American.

Walter Browne played with Black against Borislav Ivkov and was completely winning but then blundered and lost.
The game of former World Champion Vassily Smyslov against Bojan Kurajica was amazingly similar to Fischer's game against Gligoric: in both games the queenside was completely blocked and White won on the kingside after some patient maneuvering with king and rooks.

Mijo Udovcic cherished wild attacking plans against his young countryman Vlatko Kovacevic but these dreams quickly turned out to be illusions – and the blunder which finally cost Udovcic the game somehow was a fitting end of the game.
