N.Y. Pair Moves Into Chess Lead
Bled, Yugoslavia (AP)—Bobby Fischer, 16, and Paul Benko, both of New York, moved into a tie for first place yesterday in the challengers chess tournament with two points each.
Fischer defeated Yugoslav Champion Svetozar Gligoric in a fourth round match and Benko drew with Vasil Smyslov of Russia.
Tigran Petrosjan of the Soviet Union, the third man in the deadlock, has the advantage, however, in that he has two adjourned matches to complete. Petrosjan's match yesterday with Soviet's Paul Keres was adjourned.
