Santiago, Chile International
Young Bobby Fischer, the U.S. champion, tied for third, instead of for fourth place, reported earlier on the Santiago tourney. After inaccurate dispatches received from South America, Hermann Helms, of the N.Y. Times, has kindly relayed on the established final standing. Fischer, besides losing to the two leaders, also dropped games to Sanguinetti and Jauregui.
