Fischer vs. Reshevsky
The match between U.S. chess champion Bobby Fischer and his chief rival Samuel Reshevsky is virtually assured, with agreement on the basic playing conditions, and most of the match fund underwritten by sponsors in New York and Los Angeles.
It is planned that the first four games will be played in New York, the next eight at the Herman Steiner Chess Club here, and the remaining four in New York. Since the winner will require the majority of the 16 games, or 8½ points, the match may well be decided in Los Angeles.
The American Chess Foundation is sponsoring the match, and will be the custodian for all contributions to the match fund. Anyone wishing to subscribe should make his check payable to the foundation and send it to Chess Editor, Los Angeles Times.
