Fischer Wins In Jersey
Bobby Fischer, the 14-year-old Brooklyn expert who recently captured the U.S. Open and Junior Championships, added the Open Championship of New Jersey to his growing list of titles.
Fischer wound up his schedule in the tournament played in East Orange, N.J., with the winning score of 6½-½. Anthony F. Saidy of Douglaston, L.I., was runner-up with 6-1. Third and fourth prizes were shared by Arthur Feuerstein of New York and Robert Sobel of Philadelphia, who tallied 5½-1½.
Fischer Cardoso Match
In another of a series of interesting matches staged by the Manhattan Chess Club in New York, Bobby Fischer is taking on Rodolfo Cardoso of Manila, junior champion of the Philippine Islands.
After completing three of the scheduled eight games, the score is one win apiece and an adjourned game in which Fischer has a favourable position.
In the third game, the most exciting of the series to date, Fischer played the Sicilian Defense. After an advance on the Queen side he won a Pawn and seemed to have all the better of the game.
Fischer continued to play for material advantage and on his 30th turn took another Pawn. Cardoso had been quietly preparing for an onslaught against the King and Fischer's loss of time gave him the opportunity for a decisive mating attack.
