Fischer Plays Two Chess Draws
Havana, Sept. 3 (AP) — Bobby Fischer, the United States champion, completed two matches today in the Capablanca Memorial Chess Tournament and cleared the way for the start of the eighth round Sunday.
Giving his moves by telephone from New York, the young chess master from Brooklyn ended both matches in draws. His sixth-round match against Robert Wade, of Great Britain, which had been adjourned twice, ended in a draw after 68 moves. His fourth round match with Alberik O'Kelly, of Belgium, was drawn after 54 moves.
Fischer was refused permission by the United States State Department to come to Havana for the 30-day tournament. He is playing in New York and the moves are relayed between there and Havana by telephone or cable.
