Mar Del Plata, Argentina, March 27 (AP)—Bobby Fischer, 16-year-old United States champion from Brooklyn, won for the first time today in the Argentine masters chess tournament. Fischer beat Brazil's Souza Mendez in thirty-eight moves.
However, Fischer has only 2 points, compared to 3½ for Ludek Pachman of Czechoslovakia, the leader.
Pachman, who won his first three matches, including one against Fischer, drew with Hector Rossetto of Argentina in a hard-fought game lasting seventy-four moves.
