Fischer Leads Spassky With Pawn Advantage
REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP)- Champion Bison Spassky made an aggressive bid Tuesday night to win the world championship chess match. The seventh game, a pattern of see-saw advantages, was adjourned after 40 minutes of play before he had a good chance at a draw.

since 1948. Spassky needs only 12 points to retain his title.
But the 35-year-old champion fought back, bringing a knight back into play and mounting an attack on his black-squared bishop.
