Chess Test Adjourned: Fischer, Cardoso Are Even After Forty Moves
Bobby Fischer of Brooklyn, 14-year-old national open chess champion, and Rodolfo Cardoso of Manila, junior champion of the Philippines, met yesterday in the seventh game of their eight-game match at the Manhattan Chess Club and played until adjournment times without reaching a decision.
After forty moves Cardoso sealed his forty-first move in a virtually even position. Play will be resumed at the weekend. The final game was scheduled for Thursday evening.
Fischer, 4½-1½, has clinched the match.
