Fischer Advances In Argentine Chess
Bobby Fischer, brilliant young American chess champion, is making a bid for victory after a poor start in the international master tournament at Mar del Plata, Argentine. Winning five of his last six games, Fischer has advanced to fourth place with a 7-4 score.
Miguel Najdorf of Buenos Aires is alone in first place with a tally of 8-3. Second and third places are shared by Boris Ivkov of Yugoslavia and Ludek Pachman of Czechoslovakia, each having 7½-3½.
Rene Letelier of Chile and Hector Rosetto of Argentina are close to the leaders, with 6½-4½. Three rounds remain to be completed.
