Fischer Ties Tal For Lead In Chess
Brooklyn Youth Draws With Larsen in 92 Moves and Beats Unzicker in 66
Bobby Fischer gained 1½ points yesterday in the Jubilee international chess masters tournament, it was reported from Zurich, and tied Mikhail Tal of the Soviet Union for the lead at 6½—½.
The Brooklyn schoolboy drew with Bent Larsen, 24 years old, of Denmark in ninety-two moves. It was the fourth session of their sixth-round game. Fischer had declined a draw after eighty-one moves. Larsen declined at the eighty-ninth.
Fischer then resumed his eighth-round game with Wolfgang Unzicker of West Germany, who was a pawn behind. Fischer soon took another pawn and scored in sixty-six moves.
Paul Keres of the Soviet Union and Svetozar Gligoric of Yugoslavia won adjourned games, tying at 6—2 for third place.
