Fischer Ties Chess Match
Havana, Cuba (AP) — Bobby Fischer of New York moved into second place in the Capablanca International Chess Tournament yesterday by getting a draw in his adjourned game with Eleazar Jimenez of Cuba.
Jiminez, playing the white pieces, accepted Fischer's offer of a draw after 50 moves. Fischer made his moves in New York while Jimenez made his here and the two played their match via telephone. The New Yorker was forbidden by the United States State Department to come here.
Fischer and Vasily Smyslov of Russia are tied at 12 points; each behind Borislav Ivkov of Yugoslavia, who has 16. The 17th round of the tourney is scheduled for tomorrow.
