Bobby Fischer won the N.Y. State Open championship at Poughkeepsie, 7-0, in a field of 58. Against grandmaster Arthur Bisguier he successfully resurrected a bizarre line in the Two Knights Defense that was stoutly advocated by William Steinitz, (9. N-KR3 instead of 9. N-KB3), seventy-five years ago in his “Modern Chess Instructor”! Alekhine sometimes used this type of surprise, adopting a slightly unsound line, so old that the refutation had been forgotten. Top scores: R.J. Fischer, 7-0; A. Bisguier, J. Sherwin, M. Green and J. Richman, 5½-1½ each, etc.
