Soviets Dominate Chess Tourney
New York, Sept. 27 (UPI). - Russia, mother of chess champions, took three of the five top positions in the prestigious Capablanca Memorial Chess Tournament in Havana, it was reported Monday.
Play ended Sunday night after 21 rounds. Bobby Fischer, the 22-year-old American champion, lost first place to Vassily Smyslov of Russia by a half-point. Fischer's moves in New York were relayed to Havana, where the other contestants played by cable because the U.S. Government would not let him visit Communist-controlled Cuba.
