The first-place Soviet team won two games and adjourned two in its seventh-round match with West Germany in the chess Olympics at Leipzig, according to a report from East Germany.
The United States gained the verdict over the Netherlands, 3½—½. In addition, the Americans added 1½ points from their adjourned sixth-round match with Hungary.
Bobby Fischer, the youthful United States champion, scored over Dr. Max Euwe of the Netherlands, a former world champion.
At the second board, William Lombardy split the point with J.H. Donner in a Nimzo-Indian defense.
Robert Byrne and H. Kramer contested a Nimzo-Indian defense at the third table. Steady pressure enabled Byrne to win a pawn and a minor piece ending that went to fifty-five moves.
Arthur B. Bisguier over-reached himself in an English opening with K. Langeweg and had a lost position at one stage of the game. However, he succeeded in scoring a point when the Dutchman blundered, allowing mate. Thirty-two moves were recorded.
