Fischer Wins Title Third Year In Row
This department's candidate to bring the United States the world chess championship within the next decade took another long step in that direction last week.
Brooklyn's youthful Bobby Fischer won the National Chess Tournament for the third consecutive year.
The tourney, co-sponsored by the United States Chess Federation and the American Chess Foundation, was held at the Manhattan Chess Club.
Robert Byrne, Indianapolis, was second. Samuel Reshevsky, New York, five-time winner of the title, was third. Paul Benko, a Hungarian refugee, was fourth, followed in order by Arthur B. Bisguier and Raymond Weinstein of Brooklyn.
Meanwhile, a new national intercollegiate champion has been crowned.
Leslie H. Ault, a sophomore at Columbia University, won the title in the tournament at Pennsylvania State University. Ault, of Cranford, New Jersey drew in the final round to finish with 5 out of a possible 6 points. Sanford Greene, Elmsford, New York, a student at City College of New York, who drew with Ault in the last round, ended in a four-way tie for second place with four points.
Defending champion Charles Kalme, Philadelphia, of the University of Pennsylvania, did not enter the tournament this year.
Richter, the great master of attack, demolishes Black here in only 20 moves.
