Fischer in Draw With Red Player
Zurich, Switzerland, June 7 (AP). Bobby Fischer of New York and Russian grand master Mikhail Tal drew in their game in the 15th and last round of the international chess tournament tonight.
Tal, who led for most of the tournament finished with a winning total of 11½ points. Fischer, 16-year-old U.S. champion, wound up with 10½.
But Yugoslavia's Svetozar Gligoric, who has accumulated 10½ points in 14 rounds did not finish his game against Josef Kupper of Switzerland.
If he beats Kupper tomorrow when adjourned games are completed he will share first place with Tal. If he loses he will share second place with the crew-cut American. A draw will give him second place.
