Chess Adjourned Again
Fischer, Reshevsky Will Try to Finish 8th Game Tonight
Bobby Fischer and Samuel Reshevsky will try again tonight to complete the eighth game of their sixteen-game match, at the Herman Steiner Chess Club in Los Angeles. The contest was adjourned Saturday for the second time, after seventy-three moves.
Another draw was indicated, which would leave the pair tied, 3½-3½.
On the forty-fifth move, Fischer missed what seemed to be a winning chance when he exchanged a rook. This led to an ending of knight against bishop, which, normally ought to end in a draw. However, Fischer and Reshevsky decided to have still another session before abandoning play.
