Fischer Adjourns With Ivkov In Chess
The United States champion, Bobby Fischer, and Boris Ivkov of Yugoslavia adjourned after forty-one moves last night in the fourth round of the international chess masters' tournament in Buenos Aires, according to a report from Argentina.
Fischer was stymied by the Caro-Kann defense set up by his opponent, who was a pawn ahead in a rook ending when play was stopped.
With the possibility of a draw looming, Fischer elected to continue. With two games now adjourned, Fischer's score is 1½—½.
Leading the competition after four rounds are Svetozar Gligoric of Yugoslavia, Ludek Pachman of Czechoslovakia, Laszlo Szabo of Hungary and Wolfgang Unzicker of West Germany. Each has a score of 2½—1½.
