Six For Fischer In U.S. Title Tourney
Defending champion Bobby Fischer is moving relentlessly toward another seemingly certain victory in the tournament for the United States Chess Championship at the Henry Hudson Hotel in New York.
Fischer has rolled up six straight wins to be well ahead of the field of 12 picked participants. In play last week he took the measure of former champions Arthur Bisguier and Samuel Reshevsky as well as Robert Steinmeyer.
In second place after six rounds was another former U.S. champion, Larry Evans, with a score of 3½-2½. Evans won three games, lost to Fischer and Raymond Weinstein, and drew with Dr. Anthony Saidy.
William Addison, California chess champion, had an even score, 2½-2½, with one game adjourned, after six rounds. He drew twice last week, with Pal Benko and Edmar Mednis, and lost to Robert Byrne.
Following are details of the play to date, with games from the tournament:
