Fischer, Bisguier Adjourn In Chess
Defender and Former Holder of Title on Even Terms After Making 40 Moves
Bobby Fischer, 15-year-old United States chess champion, and Arthur B. Bisguier, former holder of the title, fought for five hours last night in the tenth round of the tournament for the Lessing J. Rosenwald Trophy. They adjourned on even terms after forty moves had been recorded at the Manhattan Chess Club.
Fischer played the Ruy Lopez, both castling on the king's side of the board. His opponent became very aggressive and tested the champion's defensive powers to the utmost. Ultimately, after a sacrifice of a bishop had been refused, the black forces retreated and the defender was holding his own when play ceased.
