Pair Draw in Chess Match
By Isaac Kashdan, Times Chess Editor
The first game to be completed Thursday night was a draw in 19 moves between Samuel Reshevsky of Spring Valley, N.Y., and Bent Larsen of Denmark in the eighth round of the Piatigorsky Cup International Chess Tournament at the Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica.
Larsen gave up a pawn on the 10th move to open lines on the king side. He did not regain the material, but was able to force a draw by repetition of moves.
Another draw was recorded in 28 moves between Borislav Ivkov of Yugoslavia and Jan Donner of Holland. The positions were evenly balanced throughout.
Three other games were still being contested at a late hour. The pairings were: Boris Spassky of the USSR versus U.S. chess champion Bobby Fischer of Brooklyn; world chess champion Tigran Petrosian of the USSR versus Miguel Najdorf of Argentina, and Lajos Portisch of Hungary versus Wolfgang Unzicker of West Germany.
Unfinished games will be played off at 11 a.m. today at the Miramar.
