Russian Romp
There is now no doubt that one of the three Russian grandmasters, Paul Keres, Ewfim Geller or Tigran Petrosian, who are far out in front, will win the Candidates tourney at Willemstad, Curacao. One final round-robin remains to be played in the 28-game contest. Bobby Fischer, USA, is reported to be fighting off a more dangerous threat from his appendix. He is continuing, however. Scores: Geller, 14-7; Keres, 13½-6½; Petrosian, 13-7; Korchnoi, 11-10; Fischer, 10-10; Benko, 9-12; Tal, 7-14; Filip, 14½-15½.
“…it is worth remembering that this tourney marked the international debut of Bobby Fischer, then 13 years old.”
