Soviets Lose In Wit War
The cold war may be a chess game in which the United States is sometimes outwitted, but when it it comes to the real thing, we've just one-upped the Russians.
Hero of the coup is Bobby Fischer, 23-year old American grand master and our boy in Havana during the Capablanca Memorial Tournament.
Actually, Fischer isn't In Havana at all, but in New York. He has to play the game by cable because the State Department wouldn't let him go to Cuba.
After 43 moves, Russia's former world champion, Vassily Smyslov, picked up Bobby's latest cable and threw in the towel. Earlier, Fischer had beaten Germany's Heinz Lehmann.
