Fischer Trails In Chess Play
Havana, Cuba (AP) — American grandmaster Bobby Fischer won his fifth round match in the Capablanca Memorial Chess Tournament late last night, but dropped into second place.
Russia's Vassily Smyslov defeated Laszlo Szabo of Hungary in 42 moves and took over first place with four points after five complete rounds.
Fischer, in New York and competing by telephone because the U. S. State Department denied him permission to visit Cuba, has 3½ points with one game unfinished.
Fischer, whose moves are telephoned to Cuba, and Belgium's Alberik Okelly adjourned their fourth round game after 54 moves earlier yesterday in order to compete in the fifth round of the 30-day tournament.
