Fischer Tied For 1st
New York—With a fourth-round victory over Fridrik Olafsson of Iceland in the International Chess Masters Tournament at Bled, Bobby Fischer of New York moved up into a three-way tie for first place, at 3-1; with Arthur B. Bisguier of New York and Ewfim Geller, Soviet Union, according to a report from Yugoslavia yesterday.
Fischer conducted the white pieces in a Sicilian defense set up by Olafsson. The youthful United States champion was able to capitalize on a clever combination which netted the exchange and two rooks versus a queen. Thirty-nine moves were recorded when the Icelander resigned.
