Rounds 16–30

By drawing with Taimanov in Round 28, Smyslov clinched his first Candidates victory with two rounds left. The last theoretical chance for anyone else to tie Smyslov was if he were to lose all three of his final games and for Bronstein to win both of his final games, which would make them tied at +5 each.
