One of the first things you learn in a B-school course on doing business
worldwide is that there are no international businesses. Companies that do
business in more than one country are multinational companies engaged in
international business. For a Swiss to be international it would have to
have rounds in more than one country. Now if CCA were to hold Swisses in
several counties it would be a multinational organizer and players that play
in many countries might be multinational chess players engaged in
international chess.
For it to be an international Swiss it would need to be played in several
countries by this B-school definition. I would postulate that Larry's shared
1st-3rd in a local tournament that had multinational chess players
participating.
