Fischer Takes On 20 At Once
Rio De Janeiro (AP) — U.S. Chess Master Bobby Fischer is expected to play 20 simultaneous games against some of Brazil's best players next week, officials of the Rio De Janeiro Chess Federation reported here Wednesday.
Fischer is still in Buenos Aires where he outplayed Soviet Master Tigran Petrosian, and won the right to play a series of games for the world title against present champion Boris Spassky, also of the Soviet Union. Fischer was expected to arrive here some time next week.
The Federation wants to include Brazil's 18-year-old Master Henrique Mecking among those who will face Fischer. It was not confirmed whether Mecking will be able to participate.
