Bobby Fischer Compared to Morphy, Capablanca and Reshevsky
Critics following the sensational career of Bobby Fischer are beginning to compare him with such other youthful wonders as Morphy, Capablanca and Reshevsky. Such high praise may be a bit extravagant, but plausible evidence can be produced to show that Bobby's accomplishments at his present age, 14, are at least as great as these other stars had at the same stage of their development.
Bobby has been playing a match at the Manhattan Chess Club with Rodolfo Cardoso, 19, of Manila, junior champion of the Philippine Islands. Bobby has won four of their first five games, losing the third.
