Tal beat Austria's Andreas Dueckstein after 57 moves in an adjourned 11th round game and now leads with 9½ points.
Russia's Paul Keres drew even with Fischer, Brooklyn teenager, and Gligoric after he tied with Switzerland's Erwin Nievergelt in another adjourned 11th round game. Keres, Fischer and Gligoric are in second place with eight points each.
