Bobby Fischer's Triumph Over Samuel Reshevsky
Charles Kalme, brilliant young Philadelphia star who represented the University of Pennsylvania in winning the 1957 U.S. Intercollegiate Championship and also defeated Bobby Fischer in their match in the North Central Open, is the holder of numerous chess titles. Philadelphia City Council has accorded him an unprecedented honor in the form of an “official commendation and a public tribute” for his achievements.
The following game can be said to be the decisive one in the recent U.S. championship. It enabled Bobby Fischer to go into the last round undefeated and a half-point ahead of Samuel Reshevsky. Fischer then needed only a draw to assure himself of at least a tie with Reshevsky for the title. The youngster got his draw but Reshevsky, needing a victory over William Lombardy to tie Fischer, was beaten.
Bobby's triumph in this game was achieved only after a terrific two-session struggle with Attilio Di Camillo, Philadelphia ace.
