It's (Yawn) Your Move Next, Bob
Beverly Hills, Cal., July 29 (AP)—A couple of chess players have something to think about between now and Monday.
Early this morning, after five hours of play, a game between U.S. chess champion Bobby Fischer and his top opponent, Samuel Reshevsky, was adjourned until Monday night.
Each had made 42 moves, and only a few key pieces had been lost on either side.
Some chess experts at the game—which attracted a crowd of 700—thought Fischer held the more favorable position.
But Reshevsky holds a slight psychological advantage. He opened and made the last move. It wasn't played. It was written on a slip of paper and sealed in an envelope, and won't be played until game time Monday.
