Fischer Fails To Gain In Chess Tournament
New York, Sept. 14 (UPI)-Bobby Fischer of the United States failed early today in his effort to gain in the over-all standings of the Capablanca Memorial Chess Tournament. He settled for a draw against Czechoslovakia's Ludek Pachman.
Chess experts said that Pachman's determination to play for the draw, which came after 40 moves, balked Fischer, who is playing in the tournament by teletype from New York. He was denied permission by the Department of State to attend the tournament in Havana.
Fischer's effort for outright victory in the thirteenth round game were prompted by victories by the two leaders in the 21-round tournament. Yugoslavia's Borislav Ivkov and Russia's Vassily Smyslov won their matches. Ivkov now has 11 points and Smyslov 10.5 points. Fischer and Ewfim Geller of Russia are tied for third with 9.5 points.
