Bobby Fischer, age 15, the youngest player to win the U.S. championship is half way through the Interzonal tournament being held at Portoroz, Yugoslavia. His score at this writing is 5½-3½ and includes draws with Bronstein, Aurbach, Neikirch, and Panno and wins against Fuster, Sanguinnetti, and Larsen.
He is in a tie for fourth place. If his results prove poorly in the final half of the tournament, which is difficult to believe possible, he will still have proven that he is a player of caliber and no 90 day wonder.
One of the leaders of this tournament is M. Tal of Russia, who has won the U.S.S.R. championship twice running. As of this writing, Bobby Fischer has yet to play Tal. Both are fierce attacking players.
