Bobby Fischer Loses Key Match
American chess champion Bobby Fischer lost a key match in the Havana-based Capablanca Memorial Chess Tournament and fell to third place in the standings.
Mr. Fischer resigned his 54th move in the match yesterday with Yugoslav grandmaster Borislav Ivkov, permitting the Yugoslav to move into undisputed possession of first place.
Ivkov led the tourney with 10 points going into today's 13th round. Vassily Smyslov of Russia held second position with 9.5 while Mr. Fischer was third with 9 points.
Mr. Fischer is making his moves in New York via cable because the State Department refused him permission to travel to Communist Cuba.
