Chess Ace Gains In Cuba Play
New York — (UPI) — U.S. Fischer, 22, moved from a tied third place to a tied second place yesterday in the Capablanca Chess Tournament in Havana after playing to a draw with Britain's Robert Wade.
The draw was agreed upon after Fischer's 69th move in his adjourned game with Wade. The American is competing in the tourney by cable because the U.S. State Department would not grant him permission to visit Communist Cuba.
Borislav Ivkov of Yugoslavia remained in the lead with a score of 5-5 to 1.5. Fischer and Russia's Vassily Smyslov were in second place with scores of 5 to 2. Russia's Ratmir Kholmov is fourth with 4.5-1.5 and one adjourned game.
Fischer's seventh-round match with Bruno Parma of Yugoslavia ended in a draw last night after the 34th move. Earlier in the day his adjourned fourth-round game with Alberic O'Kelly of Belgium ended the same way.
Fischer will continue play Sunday with an eighth-round match with Hungary's Lazlo Szabo.
