Yank Advances In Chess Tourney
Havana, Cuba (AP)—Bobby Fischer, 22-year-old U.S champion, won his opening match in the fourth Capablanca International Chess Tournament but he was far from the scene of the competition.
Fischer, refused permission by the U.S. State Department to make the trip here, made his moves from a chess club in New York Wednesday night and defeated West Germany's international master Heinz Lehmann in 32 moves.
The moves of the two grand masters were relayed via a direct cable line.
Fischer was scheduled to meet former world champion Vassily Smyslov of Russia in the second round Thursday. The result, however, was not expected to be known until today.
