Uhlmann Is Held To Draw In Chess
Leader at Stockholm Splits Point With Korchnoi
Wolfgang Uhlmann of East Germany, the leader in the world interzonal chess tournament at Stockholm, played a draw with Victor Korchnoi in the eleventh round last night, according to a report from the Swedish capital.
Uhlmann had the white side of a Gruenfeld defense. He split the point with the Soviet player after forty moves were recorded. Uhlmann's score is 7½-3½.
Dr. Miroslav Filip of Czechoslovakia moved into second place with a 7-3 when he agreed to half the point in a Catalan opening with Mario Bertok of Yugoslavia in fourteen moves—the shortest game of the round.
Bobby Fischer, former United States champion, was paired with M. Schwebert of Argentina. Fischer had the white forces in a Sicilian defense, and, with a powerful attack, appeared to have a clear victory ahead at the end of the five-hour session. Adjournment was taken after forty-three moves. Fischer, 6½-1½, has the best percentage, but the two leaders have won more points.
Pitted against Tigran Petrosian of the Soviet Union, Pal Benko, United States, drew an evenly contested Bogoljubow-Indian defense in twenty-five moves. Petrosian, 6½-3½, placed fourth and Benko, 6½—4½, fifth.
Arthur B. Bisguier of New York drew a French defense with Abe Yanofsky of Canada in thirty-nine moves and Arturo Pomar, Spain, halved the point with Svetozar Gligoric of Yugoslavia in a King's Indian defense which lasted thirty-eight moves.
The only victor in the round was Leonid Stein of the Soviet Union. He gained the verdict over Manuel Aaron of India in a Benoni Counter Gambit in twenty-five moves.
