The Ruy Lopez
“With both Fischer and Gligoric comparing well with the Russians, the possibility of the first non-Russian challenger since 1948 is improving.
Russian wins at Zurich
The Russian grandmaster Tal, aged 22, has just achieved another success by winning first prize at Zurich. He scored 11½ out of 15, ahead of Gligoric (Yugoslavia) 11, Fischer (United States) and Keres (Russia) 10½, Larsen (Denmark) and Unzicker (Germany) 9½. Bobby Fischer, aged 16, was level with Tal two rounds before the end but then fell back. Fischer beat Keres and drew with Tal, and now has the enviable record of a win and five draws in six games with Russian grandmasters.
