Fischer Defeats Donner In Chess
Wins in 44 Moves at Zurich—Keres Keeps Pace by Overcoming Keller
Bobby Fischer of Brooklyn, the 16-year-old United States chess champion, and Paul Keres of the Soviet Union were both winners in the thirteenth round of the jubilee tournament in Zurich, according to a report last night from Switzerland.
The rivals advanced from third to second in the standing with scores of 9—3 each, one (illegible) below Mikhail Tal of the Soviet Union with 10—2.
Fischer, adopting the King's Indian defense, defeated Hein Donner of the Netherlands in forty-four moves. The American won two pawns and exploited the minor positional advantage he obtained.
Keres brought off a neat combination, involving the sacrifice of a piece, against Dieter Keller of Switzerland. The latter played the Petroff defense and resigned after 38 moves.
