Fischer Tied for Chess Lead After Draw on 47th Move HAVANA, Cuba (AP) — Bobby Fischer, the United States' 22-year-old grandmaster, tied with Romania's Victor Cioacaltea yesterday in a third round game in the Capablanca Memorial Chess Tournament. Fischer, denied permission to visit Cuba by the U.S. State Department, is participating in the international tournament by telephone and telegraph. Fischer is in New York. His moves, and those of his opponent, are wired to and from Havana. Cioacaltea was on the verge of victory several times, but Fischer firmed up his game and reversed his bad position by the 41st move. The game was adjourned as a tie after the 47th move. The deadlock left Fischer in a three-way tie for first with Jolmov of Russia and Donner of the Netherlands. Each has 2½ points. Fischer had won both of his earlier games. The fourth round of the 30-day tournament was to be played later yesterday but probably will not be completed until today.
