They had identical totals of five wins and 12 draws without-a loss, for point scores of 11-6, a real achievement in the powerful field.

He was also undefeated, winning four games and drawing 13 for a score of The only other player not to lose a game was Vladimir Tukmakov, who tied at 10-7 with ex-world champion Ti-gran Petrosian. The latter was downed once by another Russian, Victor Korchnoi. Reigning world champion Boris Spassky defeated Frid-rik Olafsson of Iceland in the final round to move up to a tie for sixth at 9V-7V, his highest position since the opening rounds. Former world champion Mikhail Tal reached the same total by beating Bruno Parma of Yugoslavia in his last game.

The only American player, Robert Byrne of. New York, wound up with the ble showing of 9-8, tied with Vlastimil Hort of Czechoslovakia and David Bronstein of the Soviet Union, The other final standings, were: Korchnoi, 8V-9Vfc; Olaf-sson, Vladimir Savon, Soviet Union, and Florian Gheor-ghiu, Romania, IVi-Wi; Yuri Balashov, Soviet Union, and Wolfgang Uhlmann, E. Germany, 6V-10; Parma, 6-10, and Levente Lengyel, ryiv 4VS-12V6. -A Most interest, at least in this country, was in the performance of Spassky, soon to defend his title against American ace Bobby Fischer.
