Champions Matched At Beverly Hilton Hotel
The Los Angeles portion of the match between U.S. champion Bobby Fischer and former champion Samuel Reshevsky will have a gala premier Thursday evening, July 27, in the grand ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
It is planned that a large chess wallboard will be set up on which moves will be duplicated as they are made in the match game. Masters will comment on the game while in progress, but out of earshot of the star performers.
Seven additional games will be played at the Herman Steiner Chess Club from July 30 to Aug. 13. The club, which is now at 626 S. La Brea Ave., is planning to move to larger quarters by that time.
The first four games of the match are scheduled in New York City from July 16th to 24th. The concluding four games will also be in New York from Aug. 15 to 22.
