CHESS RESULTS : Fischer and Spassky Play to 14th Draw

Share

Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky agreed to a 35-move draw Sunday in the 28th game of their $5-million chess match in Belgrade, Yugoslavia.

Fischer, who needs one more win to end the match, leads, 9-5, with 14 draws. Spassky can no longer win the match, but he will earn $2.5 million if he wins four games and ties the match at 9-9. If Fischer wins one more game, he will receive the winner’s share of $3.35 million.

In Sunday’s game, Fischer used a different 10th move to try to rehabilitate the variation of the King’s Indian Defense with which he lost Game 12. Spassky kept a small advantage, but he did not press hard for the win.
