U.S. Chess Ace Whips Bulgarian
NEW YORK, Sept. 1 (UPI)—U. S. chess champion Bobby Fischer defeated Bulgaria's Guergoi Tringov in 22 moves in his fifth-round match in Havana's Capablanca Tournament.
Last night's victory put the undefeated, once-tied Mr. Fischer in a six-way second place deadlock behind tourney leader Vassily Smyslov of Russia, a former world champion.
Experts at the Marshall Chess Club in Manhattan, where Mr. Fischer is playing, via teletype to Havana because the State Department refused him permission to go to Communist Cuba, called the game one of “great brilliance and theoretical importance.”
