Shades of Boris and Bobby
While Bobby Fischer was preparing to meet Boris Spassky in Iceland for the match that will decide the world's chess championship a less publicized tournament was taking place in Chicago to decide a lesser but still worthy prize.
The tournament was the semi-annual Greater Chicago High School Chess Championship and it took place over two days Saturday and yesterday in an airless hall overlooking the tracks at 538 S. Wabash Ave.
The winners of the tournament were Paul Clarke, 16, a junior at Evanston Township High School and Mark Bartusek, 17, a senior at Lyons Township High school. They tied for first place and will each be awarded half of the combined first and second prizes, $62.50.
Eight participants who tied for third place will divide the $25 third place prize.
