Interzonal Playoffs
The play-off series to decide a place in the forthcoming Interzonal Tournament will start at 6:30 p.m. Friday at the Herman Steiner Chess Club, 8801 Cashio St., when California champion William Addison will oppose former U.S. champion Larry Evans.
The third entry in this special competition is Samuel Reshevsky, also a former U.S. titleholder. He will play Evans starting at 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 10.
Each player will face the others, twice, making a total of six games. Others scheduled are: Reshevsky vs. Addison, Feb. 12 and 19; Evans vs. Addison, Feb. 22, and Reshevsky vs. Evans, Feb. 24.
The charge for spectators will be $1 for each game, or $5 for the series. Your editor will be the referee, assisted by Harry Borochow and Jack Moskowitz.
The playoff was necessitated by a tie for third in the recent U.S. championship tournament, which was won by Bobby Fischer, with Arthur Bisguier second. The United States is entitled to three places in the Interzonal Tournament, next in the sequence of events to determine a challenger for the world chess championship.
