Fischer Leading Chess Playoff
Vancouver, B.C. (AP) — The second game of the world chess championship quarter-final match between Bobby Fischer of the United States and Mark Taimanov of the Soviet Union was adjourned Tuesday night on the 45th move.
Fischer, playing white, was a pawn ahead and in a position where he normally would force a win. The game was to be continued Wednesday.
Fischer leads the 10-game match, 1-0. The winner will advance in the challengers' round, with the survivor to meet world champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union for the title in 1972.
