Bobby Fischer Defeats Russian In Chess Match
Buenos Aires (UPI) — Chess Master Bobby Fischer of the United States virtually clinched the final candidate's match yesterday by defeating former world champion Tigran Petrosian of the Soviet Union for the third consecutive time.
Petrosian conceded the game, the eight played so far in the match, on the 41st move.
The victory, the fourth in eight games, gave the American an almost unbeatable lead of 5½ points to 2½ for Petrosian.
Winner of the match, scheduled for 12 games, will meet world champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union, for the title next spring.
