Fischer And Russian Tied In Chess Match
Buenos Aires (AP) — The fourth game between chess grand masters Bobby Fischer of the United States and Tigran Petrosian of the Soviet Union ended Tuesday in a draw with the players absolutely even and both apparently satisfied.
The game went down to an ending with two bishops and pawns on each side. For Fischer it was a minor victory, having completely equalized the game with the black pieces. This was the first time in the match that a relatively simple game developed so quickly.
Both players now have won one game and there have been two draws in the 12-game match. A total of 6½ points is needed to win the series, with a win counting one point and a draw a half point. The victor will meet Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union for the world's championship.
