Ivkov Leads 11-2 In Havana Tourney
After 13 rounds of the Capablanca Memorial Tournament in Havana, the leader was Boris Ivkov of Yugoslavia, with a total to that point of 11-2.
Ivkov was on a scoring binge, with seven wins and one draw out of his last eight games, including victories over U.S. champion Bobby Fischer and former world champion Vassily Smyslov.
Smyslov was in second place with 10½-2½. Fischer was tied for third with Eufim Geller of the USSR, each with tallies of 9½-3½. Tied at 8-5 were Ratmir Cholmov of the USSR. Jon Donner of Holland and Ludek Pachman of Czechoslovakia.
Fischer, who is playing all his games by teletype from the Marshall Chess Club in New York, was doing quite well in the early part of his game with Ivkov. The latter was able to establish a passed pawn, and this eventually proved to be the winning margin.
In other games last week Fischer defeated Kurt Robatsch of Austria and Istvan Bilek of Hungary. and drew with Pachman. With eight more rounds to be played, he is still very much in the running. Following are games from the tournament:
