Reshevsky Tied At Buenos Aires
It was not Bobby Fischer, on whose young shoulders most hopes were placed, but veteran Samuel Reshevsky who upheld the chess prestige of the free world by tieing for first in the Buenos Aires international with Victor Korchnoi, champion of all the Russians. Curiously, Reshevsky's only loss was to fellow-countryman Larry Evans in the first round. He won eight other games and drew 10. Korchnoi won 9, drew 8 and lost to Rossetto and Wade, the tail-ender!
