Chess Tourney
The final round of the U.S. Championship Chess Tournament was adjourned in New York City with the deciding game between Bobby Fischer and Dr. Karl Burger, also a New Yorker, still unfinished.
A win for Fischer, the world champion, would give him the title. The game is to be continued today. Should Fischer lose, he could tie with Samuel Reshevsky of Spring Valley, N.Y. and Robert Byrne of Indianapolis if they win their final-round matches.
