Fischer Is Ahead In Chess Tourney
U.S. Star Wins 13th-Round Game for 9-2 Score
Bobby Fischer of Brooklyn took the lead in the world interzonal chess tournament in Stockholm yesterday, according to a report from the Swedish capital.
The former United States champion had the white pieces in a Petroff defense against Eugenio German of Brazil in a thirteenth-round game. With a mating attack, Fischer forced the Brazilian's resignation in thirty moves.
The victory lifted the undefeated 18-year-old American's score to 9—2.
Wolfgang Uhlmann of Easter Germany, 9—4, dropped to second place when he halved the point with Julio Bolbochan of Argentina. Bolbochan conducted the black pieces and set up a King's Indian defense. A draw was the result after nineteen moves.
Ewfim Geller of the Soviet Union defeated Manuel Aaron of India in a Gruenfeld defense. The Indian lost a piece and bowed in twenty-four moves. Geller, with 8½-4½, moved into third place.
Tigran Petrosian, former Soviet champion, was paired with Lajos Portisch of Hungary in a Queen's Gambit. Cautious play by both resulted in twenty moves. The Soviet player placed fourth with 8—4.
The other two victors were Arthur B. Bisguier of New York and Gideon Barcza of Hungary. Bisguier won from Miguel Cuellar of Colombia in a King's Indian defense that went to thirty-two moves and Barcza gained the verdict over Fridrik Olafsson of Iceland in another King's Indian defense lasting thirty-five moves.
A Catalan opening between Pal Benko of New York and Victor Korchnoi of the Soviet Union was drawn in thirty-three moves.
