Chess Tourney Evened-Up
Buenos Aires (UPI)—Soviet grandmaster and former world champion Tigran Petrosian defeated Bobby Fischer of the United States here Tuesday night in the second match of their final candidates chess elimination tournament.
Fischer conceded the match at the 32nd move when his king was flanked by Petrosian's queen and rook.
Petrosian's victory evened the series at one match each. Fischer won the first game played last Thursday.
The victory by Petrosian broke Fischer's 21 game international match winning streak and a 13 game winnings streak amassed in two candidates elimination tournaments held earlier this year.
Petrosian, normally a defensive player, threatened mate at the 28th move and did not let up the pressure, finally forcing Fischer's king on its king rook three with his queen and a rook.
Piecewise, Fischer at the end had a slight advantage, with his queen, two rooks and three pawns still on the board.
Petrosian, playing whites, had his queen, a rook, a bishop and four pawns. However, the Russian had superior position, as both of Fischer's rooks were still in their original position.
At that point, Fischer conceded and some of Petrosian's fans tried to carry him out on their shoulders, but were stopped by officials.
