Chess Junket Funds Sought
The United States Chess Federation is seeking the necessary funds to permit the U.S. junior chess champion, Bobby Fischer, 14, or 650 Lincoln Place, to accept an invitation to play in Russia. Because of his age, the federation feels Bobby should be accompanied by several older players during the August trip. It hopes for contributions from chess fans and clubs and the general public to finance it.
