Bobby Fischer vs. Vassily Smyslov
A long-distance chess game between U.S. master Bobby Fischer and Russia's former world champion Vassily Smyslov was adjourned last night after 43 moves.
Chess experts in Havana said the 23-year-old American had achieved a probably-decisive advantage over his opponent.
The American “boy wonder” is competing by cable from New York because the State Department refused to allow him to enter Communist Cuba. He defeated West Germany's Heinz Lehmann in a first-round match before taking on Smyslov.
