Fischer, 16, Again Wins National Chess Meet
New York, Jan. 6 (UPI) — Bobby Fischer, 16 years old, of Brooklyn, is still young enough so that he looks out of place at the national chess tournament. But his skill apparently hasn't declined since he first won the tournament at 14.
He won the national tournament again last weekend, for the third in a row.
Robert Byrne, of the University of Indianapolis, was second and Samuel Reshevsky, five-time winner of the United States title, finished third in the tournament co-sponsored by the United States Chess Foundation and the American Chess Foundation.
