Spassky, Fischer Lead In Argentine Tourney
Bobby Fischer, youthful United States chess champion, has won seven games in succession to achieve a score of 8-1 after nine rounds of the international master tournament at Mar del Plata, Argentina, according to a report from the New York Times.
This pace was not sufficient to wrest the lead from Boris Spassky of Russia, who, having previously defeated Fischer, has compiled a tally of 8½-½. Spassky drew in the seventh round with David Bronstein, also representing the Soviet Union.
Rene Letelier of Chile and Fridrik Olafsson of Iceland are tied for third place with 6½-2½. Bronstein, who is undefeated but has allowed six draws, is tied at 6-3 with Osvaldo Bazan of Argentina.
