Fischer Ties For Lead In Tourney
SANTA MONICA, Cal. (AP)—Bobby Fischer of the U.S. has moved into a tie for the lead in the Piatigorsky Cup International Chess Tournament.
Fischer won 1½ points Thursday night when he drew with Jan Donner of Holland, after Yugoslavia's Borislav Ivkov resigned an adjourned third-round contest.
FISCHER gained a tie with Argentina's Miguel Najdorf and Lajos Portisch of Hungary by drawing with Donner in a Marshall variation of the Ruy Lopez, a classic opening.
Najdorf drew with Germany's Wolfgang Unsicker after Unzicker broke open the position by the apparent sacrifice of a knight, which the Argentine did not take.
The game ended in a deadlock after 26 moves. World champion Tigran Petrosian of Russia drew with Ivkov in 25 moves and is in fourth place in the standings.
