Russian Still Tied In Chess With Yugoslav
Havana (AP) — Vasily Smyslov of Russia and Borislav Ivkov of Yugoslavia remained tied for the lead in the Capablanca Chess Tournament Sunday night after each tied his game in the 17th round.
Bobby Fischer, the U.S. grand master who also is in contention for the top spot, adjourned his match with Ewfim Geller of Russia after 41 moves.
Fischer is competing in New York via telephone and teletype after the U.S. State Department refused to grand him permission for the trip to Cuba.
