Madison Youth Tied For Chess Lead
Allen Reiter, 1130 Chandler St., 1962 state chess champion, shared the lead at the halfway point in the Western Chess Open Saturday in Bay City, Mich.
After playing four rounds, Reiter was tied with three others, Robert Byrne, Indianapolis, Ind.; Hans Berliner, Bethesda, Md.; and Martin Pence, Adrian, Mich. each had four points.
Two rounds were scheduled Saturday and the last two for today. A decision is worth one point, and a draw is worth a half-point in match play.
The defending champion, Bobby Fischer, Brooklyn, N.Y. was a half-point behind the leaders after Friday's games.
