Passed Pawn Failed To Win For Fischer
In the ninth of the sixteen-game chess match between Samuel Reshevsky and Bobby Fischer at the Herman Steiner Chess Club in Los Angeles, Reshevsky had the white pieces.
An ending was reached with each player having a bishop and two pawns.
Although Fischer came through with a passed pawn on the king's rook file, it proved of no avail because the bishops remaining on the board controlled squares of opposite colors. This prevented any progress and the players agreed to a draw after fifty-two moves.
