Bobby's Comeback
Though chess masters are steadily getting younger, it is still quite an achievement to make your comeback at the age of 19. After his disappointing play in the Candidates' tournament and in the world team championship, the young American genius Bobby Fischer has taken the first step in a new attempt on the world title. He has just regained the United States championship in New York with 8 out of 11, in spite of losing to Mednis in the first round. Other leading scores were Bisguier 7; Addison, Evans and Reshevsky 6½. This championship was an international zonal eliminator, and the top three qualify for the interzonal. Those definitely out include Benko and R. Byrne.
The Fischer-Reshevsky game was their first meeting since the match which ended in an unsettled law suit. A remarkable feature is Fischer's renewed success with his pet move 6 P-KR3, which among great masters he alone champions. Otherwise the game is characteristic Fischer, with a logical and direct attack on Black's pawn weaknesses on both wings and on the white squares.
