Zurich Plans International
Zurich, Switzerland, is planning an international tourney from May 19-June 8. Invitations are going out to experts from many countries. They particularly hope to have young Bobby Fischer, USA champion, but there is the question of school examinations for him. Even the more important Challengers tourney, slated for Yugoslavia, Sept.-Oct. next, poses a serious decision as participation will cut two months off his school term, and Bobby is not prodigious outside of chess.
Dr. Alexander Rueb, one of the founders and first president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), is dead at The Hague at the age of 76.
