Invitation to Fischer
United States Junior Chess Champion Bobby Fischer of Brooklyn has been invited to play chess in Russia the latter part of August. Because of his youth, 14 years, the U.S. Chess Federation feels it advisable that he be accompanied by several older chess players. They are now asking contributions from chess players and chess clubs to provide air transportation for the group. The trip is planned to start at the close of the Open Championship Tournament at Cleveland.
