Chess - Los Angeles, Denver Likely For Fischer-Larsen
The match between American ace Bobby Fischer and Bent Larsen of Denmark, one of the semi-finals in the series to determine a challenger for the world chess championship, is due to start Tuesday, July 6.
The hunt for a site has narrowed to two American cities, Los Angeles and Denver, according to Edmund B. Edmondson, executive director of the U.S. Chess Federation.
If Los Angeles is chosen, the match will be played in Royce Hall, UCLA. This is available for most of July and August.
The conditions will be the same as for the recently completed quarter-final series, with 5½ points out of 10 required to win.
The second match, to be played at the same time, will be between two Russians, former world champion Tigran Petrosian and Victor Korchnoi. This will take place in Moscow.
The two victors will then meet in a 12-game series in September, with the survivor to challenge world champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union next spring.
