Fischer Leads in World Series Match
The hope of the western world, Bobby Fischer, USA, defeated Mark Taimanov, USSR, in 40 moves playing a King's Indian Defense in the first of their best of ten games series at Vancouver.
Start was delayed three days when the Russian objected to the low ceiling and air-conditioning and the site had to be moved from the Graduate Center to the Students Union Auditorium of the University of B.C. Players and public are in the same room. Results in other matches in various parts of Europe: Korchnoi, 2, Geller, 1; Petrosian 1½, Huebner, 1½ (3 draws); Larsen, 1, Uhlmann, 1 (a win each).
