Fischer's 6th Chess Game Is Adjourned
Buenos Aires—Bobby Fischer of the United States and Russia's Tigran Petrosian adjourned their sixth game in the candidate's chess playoff last night after 41 moves. The game continues today, with Fischer holding what appeared to be a slight advantage.
Referee Lothar Schmidt of West Germany suspended the contest after 41 moves, with Petrosian's next move already in a sealed envelope.
Each player seeking the right to play world title-holder Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union—has accumulated two and one-half points in the first five matches.
Each has one game won and three draws. The tournament is scheduled to last 12 games and the first to accumulate 6½ points will meet Spassky for the crown next spring.
The sixth game was the first to be adjourned since the match began.
