Fischer in Weaker Position in Match
Portoroz, Yugoslavia (AP) — Fifteen-year-old Bobby Fischer of New York and Soviet grand master Tigran Petrosyan adjourned their 13th round match in the Interzonal Chess Tournament yesterday.
The game was the center of interest as it was Fischer's fourth and last match against the Soviet grand masters. The young New Yorker was successful in the other three.
Fischer played well again today. He had prospects of a draw although when the match was adjourned he had the weaker position. Some experts thought he still could win the match.
James Sherwin, U.S. International Master from New York, and Paul Benkoe, Hungarian refugee now a member of the U.S. Chess Federation, also adjourned their match. Sherwin had a pawn advantage.
