Fischer Is Top Pointmaker in World Title Preliminary
Q. How did Bobby Fischer fare in the recent elimination tourney for the World Chess Championship quarter-finals?
A. Grandmaster Fischer, as usual, could hardly have done better. He was the top point-maker in the tournament staged in the Balearic Islands.
Joining Fischer for the quarter-final round, to be played next year at an undetermined site, were Efim Geller and Mark Taimanov of the Soviet Union, Bent Larsen of Denmark, Robert Huebner of West Germany and Wolfgang Uhlmann of East Germany.
Victor Korchnoi and former world champion Tigran Petrosian, both Russians, did not have to qualify for the quarter-finals. From these eight will emerge a challenger for defending world champion Boris Spassky, also of the Soviet Union, for a match to be played in Moscow.
American Grandmaster Samuel Reshevsky of Spring Valley, N.Y., finished 16th and William Addison of New York City was tied for 17th in the elimination tournament.
The Caro-Kann, normally a sound defense, falls flat here because the opening is mishandled.
(a) Black's acceptance of the Pawn leads to complications which could be avoided by the quiet 7. … P-K3.
(b) If 20. … P-QN3, 21. RxP1, winning.
