Bobby Fischer, Russian Adjourn Chess Match
Havana, Cuba — (AP) — Bobby Fischer of New York and Russia's Ewfim Geller adjourned their 17th-round match in the Capablanca Chess tournament Monday after 49 moves.
Fischer, the grandmaster who is competing through a telegraphic hookup from New York after the U.S. State Department refused to allow him to travel to Cuba for the tournament, remained in third place behind Borislav Ivkov of Yugoslavia and Vasily Smyslov of Russia.
It was the second straight day that Fischer and Geller adjourned the match. Sunday they played through 41 moves.
