Sherwin Triumphs, Fischer Adjourns
Bobby Fischer, the United States champion from Brooklyn, and Fridrik Olafsson of Iceland adjourned their eleventh-round match in the interzonal chess tournament at Portoroz, according to a report last night from Yugoslavia. It was the only game of the ten scheduled that was not finished. The players adjourned after forty-one moves.
The Icelander was thought to have a slight advantage in position, but with a somewhat difficult ending ahead. Both were under time pressure. Olafsson had the white side of a Sicilian defense.
James T. Sherwin of New York defeated Geza Fuster of Canada in a Reti opening, played by Sherwin, in forty-three moves. Sherwin went ahead after gaining the advantage of two exchanges.
