Koltanowski had been in the US for some time now. Possibly he already had the US nationality. I will nevertheless keep his few post-war tournaments here, mostly for completeness’ sake.
After eight rounds of play according to the Swiss system, the top 10 ten finishers qualified for the open championship, the next ten to the premier reserves, and so on. Koltanowski and Herman Steiner were perhaps the biggest names in the field, but while Steiner in the final with half a point on Seidman, Koltanowski was relegated to the premier reserves. Probably for this reason, he decided to withdraw.
