Particularly impressive was Kortschnoi's win against Risto Nicevski. Soon after the opening Kortschnoi had a slightly better position but he managed to put his opponent under continuous pressure until Nicevski cracked in the ending.
Tigran Petrosian opted for a quiet opening but after an inaccuracy by Parma he won pawn and had no trouble to convert.
For a long time Vlastimil Hort could not get any advantage but then his opponent blundered in a roughly even, dynamic position and Hort immediately seized his chance to win the game.
After nine of 18 rounds Fischer leads with 7.0/9, followed by Svetozar Gligoric with 6½/9. Kortschnoi, Petrosian and Hort share third to fifth place with 6.0/9 each.
