Fischer's Great Win
The 15-year-old United States champion, Bobby Fischer, has just brought off another astonishing victory in the current American championship by winning Reshevsky's queen in only twelve moves. Reshevsky is considered by many the world's greatest player outside Russia.
Reshevsky resigned 30 moves later. Fischer leads the tournament with four out of five.
The modern forms of the King's Indian Defense, in which Black combines the fianchetto of his KB with a general pawn advance on the queen's wing, are so popular nowadays that there is a tendency to underestimate White's opportunities for central break-through if Black carries out his plans inaccurately. The following example was won by the young Hungarian champion who is now competing at Hastings.
