U.S. Wins 1, Draws 2 In Chess Olympics
Varna, Bulgaria, Sept. 29—In the second round of the finals of the world team championship of the Chess Olympics, the United States won one game, drew two and adjourned one against Argentina.
On board 1, Bobby Fischer defeated Miguel Najdorf in a King's Indian defense in 26 moves. The American ace sacrificed the exchange to keep Black's king a target in the center. Pal Benko, on board 2, drew an England opening with Julio Bolbochan in 34 moves, after reaching a minor piece ending. On board 3, Larry Evans, United States champion, drew a King's Indian defense in 32 moves with Oscar Panno.
A King's Indian defense going 43 moves was adjourned between Robert Byrne, board 4, and Hector Rosetto. At adjournment, Byrne enjoyed a winning advantage.
In their adjourned games from the first round with East Germany, the Americans suffered a setback. Donald Byrne, who was expected to win, inadvertently repeated the position three times and his opponent Burkhard Malich claimed a draw under the rules. It was allowed. Edmar Mednis resigned his game after 63 moves to Reinhard Fuchs when he was left with three pawns behind. The final score of this match was 2-2.
