watch his matches in 1955 and 1956 on chessgames.com. he opened with c4 in the majority of them. i dont know which year he changed to e4 though, it could have been several years afterwards as i havent seen those matches yet. some of those tournaments were "junior" events and "amateur" championships.

it was right around then, for certain. I'm pretty sure he only opened e4 in the US championships and he started those in '57 IIRC.
