The Champ:Bobby Fischer, the 14-year-old sophomore from Erasmus Hall High School, won the U.S. Chess Championship this month, beating America's veteran chessmasters. The youngster refuses to wear a tie or jacket. At Grossinger's a few days ago he tried to enter the dining room, wearing a sweater. Abe Friedman the maitre d', stopped him and said: “I know you're going to Moscow in July, to play against their champions. If you're invited to a state dinner there, wouldn't you wear a tie?” … The boy shook his head: “If I have to wear a tie, I won't go.”
