Notes on People
Ticket-scalping for a chess match? Yes, when the players are Bobby Fischer of the United States and Tigran Petrosian of the Soviet Union, who is a former world champion. In Buenos Aires, where the two are pitted against each other in a 12-game match, whose winner will compete for the world championship next spring, tickets to each game have been rationed at two to a customer. But minutes after they're sold, they are being resold at almost double the official price of three pesos (60 cents).
