Chess For All by G. Chesters
Chess Players the world over are following with interest and surprise the tournament now being held in Buenos Aires. It is sponsored by the government to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the revolution which secured Argentine independence.
This tournament is undoubtedly one of the strongest ever held outside the Communist countries. Just take a look at the placings of some famous names after thirteen rounds!
1. S. Reshevsky, with 9 points.
2. Unzicker, (8½)
3.4. Larry Evans and Szabo (8).
5. Korchnoi (U.S.S.R., 7½ 1 adj.)
9. Taimanov (7).
15. Gligoric!!
17. Fischer !!
But the event is by no means over yet. If readers cannot follow its progress in a newspaper I advise them to tune in to Network Three on a Monday night to the half-hour chess programme.
