Brazil May Host Chess Tourney
Rio De Janeiro (UPI)—Max Euwe, President of the International Chess Federation, said today the final world championship game between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky may be held in Brazil.
Euwe left for Buenos Aires today after spending several days hearing the case of the Brazilian Chess Federation, which asked to have the championship held here. The country in which the championship is held will have to offer 30 thousand dollars in prize money.
Bobby Fischer is expected in Brazil Nov. 15 to play simultaneously against 20 Brazilian chess players. Euwe told reporters that Fischer's choice of where the championship should be held would be taken into consideration by the committee making the decision. Euwe himself said he was in favor of holding the championship in Brazil.
